Hosmer (neck) will remain out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hosmer's strained neck will keep him on the bench for the second game in a row and most likely the second half of Tuesday's doubleheader as well, but his health is of less intrigue at the moment than his status on the Padres' roster. According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, Hosmer was supposed to be included in the blockbuster deal the Padres made earlier Tuesday to acquire Juan Soto and Josh Bell from the Nationals, but Hosmer didn't waive his no-trade clause. Feinsand relays that Hosmer's decision won't derail the trade, and the Padres will presumably look to find a different home for the 32-year-old first baseman in advance of Tuesday's 6 p.m. ET deadline. Hosmer is on the books through 2025 and is owed $39 million over the next three seasons.

Hosmer exited Sunday's game against the Twins due to a neck strain, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hosmer went 0-for-3 with a strikeout to begin Sunday's matchup, but he was replaced defensively ahead of the seventh inning. It's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time, but Luke Voit and Jurickson Profar will likely see increased looks at first base if Hosmer is sidelined.

Hosmer went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a two-run home run in Friday's 4-1 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
His fourth-inning blast off Max Scherzer got the Padres on the board and gave Yu Darvish and the San Diego bullpen all the support they would need. Hosmer snapped an 18-game homer drought with the performance, a stretch during which he batted only .231 (15-for-65) with two doubles, but on the season he still carries a solid .275/.338/.392 slash line with seven home runs and 37 RBI through 83 contests.
