Hedges is not in the Padres' lineup Thursday.
The backstop takes a seat as Luis Torrens takes his place. Hedges is batting just .216/.277/.448 on the year in 138 plate appearances but is tied for first with Salvador Perez among backstops with eight home runs heading into Thursday games. He should be back in action Friday.
