Cory Spangenberg News
The San Diego Padres designated infielder Cory Spangenberg for assignment on Tuesday. Spangenberg was one of seven players removed from the Friars 40-man roster along with third baseman Christian Villanueva. The move closes the books on Spangenbergs five-year run with the Padres where he struggled with health and consistency. The 27-year-old former 10th overall pick swatted seven homers in 329 plate appearance in 2018 with an atrocious 4.3 strikeout-to-walk ratio. With a .709 career OPS, its likely hell need to fight his way onto a major league roster this Spring Training.
San Diego Padres infielder Cory Spangenberg was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, and the team optioned catcher Raffy Lopez in a corresponding move. Spangenberg will mostly serve as a utility infielder and won't seen enough consistent playing time to be fantasy relevant. He's hitting just .232 with six homers, 17 RBI and five steals in 185 at-bats this year in the majors.
San Diego Padres infielder Cory Spangenberg will start at third base in place of Christian Villanueva Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite smacking his team-leading 17th home run on Wednesday, Villanueva is stuck in a deep slump, hitting just .188 since May 1. Spangenberg will bring a left-handed bat to the Padres lineup against Diamondbacks righty starter Shelby Miller. Spangenberg has not been great this season, slashing .238/.272/.390 but does have six homers and five steals in 182 plate appearances. For daily players willing to take a gamble, Spangenberg is hitting .298 since June 1 with three long balls.
