Padres' Brandon Dixon: Starting in right field Tuesday

Dixon is starting in right field and batting ninth Tuesday against the Mets.

Dixon was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday and will make his first major-league appearance of the season Tuesday versus the Mets and left-handed starter David Peterson. The 31-year-old is a versatile defender but carries a rough .228/.269/.407 career big-league batting line.
