Padres' Ryan Schimpf: Gets back in lineup

Schimpf will return to the lineup and start at second base Sunday against the Reds, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis:

With the Reds starting left-handed pitchers in each of the first three games of the series, Schimpf was confined to the bench in favor of Adam Rosales. The duo continues to work in a platoon at second base, but since most of the league's starters are right-handed, Schmipf figures to see the bulk of the starts due to his left-handedness. He'll slot in at sixth in the Padres' lineup Sunday.
