Middlebrooks is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Middlebrooks is out of the lineup for a third straight game, with Yangervis Solarte getting another start at the hot corner. Middlebrooks hasn't recorded a hit since Apr. 27, and he owns a .191/.230/.340 slash line for the season. His time as the Padres' regular third baseman may be numbered, though it's still quite possible he'll get another shot.
