Spangenberg is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, MLB.com's Bill Center reports.

Analysis:

Spangenberg had started the previous 17 games for the Padres, but will get the day off for the season finale, with Clint Barmes earning a start in the middle infield in his place. Though he hasn't hit for much pop this season, Spangenberg has batted .271 while getting on base at a strong .333 clip. Barring any major offseason moves for the Padres in the middle infield, Spangenberg should be in line for a full-time role in 2016.
