Aybar will start at shortstop and bat seventh Sunday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Aybar seems to have wrestled the starting gig at shortstop away from Chase d'Arnaud, who has supplied a .206 on-base percentage while striking out in 12 of his 33 at-bats since being claimed off waivers in late May. With a .283 on-base percentage of his own on the season, Aybar hardly profiles as much of an upgrade over d'Arnaud, so it wouldn't be surprising if manager Andy Green eventually turned the position over to a younger, higher-upside option like Allen Cordoba.

Aybar is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Chase d'Arnaud is set to take over at shortstop Friday as Aybar gets the night off against right-hander German Marquez. Aybar has struggled from both sides of the plate this season and is slashing a paltry .196/.271/.314 on 153 at-bats. Even when he's in the lineup, Aybar has little fantasy value besides being a low-end option in daily formats.

Aybar is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the third game in a row that Aybar will head to the bench for. There hasn't been any indication of injury at this point, so it appears the Padres could simply be shying away from his .196/.273/.311 triple slash.

Aybar is not in the lineup Monday against the Cubs, Bob Scanlan of Fox Sports San Diego reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aybar will take a seat for the second straight game as the Padres will go with Chase d'arnaud at shortstop again. There hasn't been any indication of injury, so the Padres may just be going with d'Arnaud again given his 2-for-4 showing in Sunday's contest.

Aybar is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Aybar isn't necessarily known for his offensive prowess, but he's been particularly poor in his last four games, going 0-for-11 to bring his average down to .196. The Padres will instead turn to Chase d'Arnaud at shortstop for the second time in four contests.

Aybar is not in the lineup Thursday against the Mets, Dennis Lin of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aybar is batting below the Mendoza Line over the past week, so he'll get a night off to regain his bearings. Chase d'Arnaud will take his place at shortstop for the evening.

Aybar is not in the Padres' lineup Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The infielder gets another break, as he always was on the sidelines Sunday. Perhaps San Diego is monitoring the 33-year-old's workload. Allen Cordoba fills in at shortstop and bats second.

Aybar is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Bob Scanlan of Fox Sports San Diego reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears that Aybar is simply receiving a schedule day of rest Sunday. Reserve shortstop Luis Sardinas will draw the start in his absence.

Aybar went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The homer and steal were each his fourth of the season. Aybar hasn't done much at the plate this season overall, slashing .214/.299/.369, but he's already exceeded his HR and SB totals from last season and should continue providing a veteran presence on the Padres infield.

Aybar is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Rangers, the San Diego Union-Tribune's Jeff Sanders reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rule 5 pick Allen Cordoba will get the start at shortstop and hit eighth, but he is hitting .087/.125/.217 with zero walks and eight strikeouts over his last 23 at-bats, so he does not pose an immediate threat to Aybar continuing to get the bulk of the starts at the six.
