3 Ian Kinsler 2B

Kinsler (finger) will start at second base and hit leadoff in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Giants.

Kinsler jammed his finger earlier in the week and had been withheld from the San Diego lineup for the previous three days. The extra rest was apparently all Kinsler need to put the injury behind him, so he'll look to continue his hot start to the spring as he rejoins the starting nine. The 36-year-old is hitting .412 with a home run, stolen base and five RBI across 17 at-bats.

Kinsler (finger) is out of the lineup for Friday's exhibition game against the Brewers.

Kinsler was scratched from Wednesday's spring game due to a jammed finger and is considered day-to-day. It's unsurprising to see the Padres remain cautious with the veteran second baseman with less than two weeks remaining in spring training. Greg Garcia will grab the start at second base Friday.

This is hardly a surprised, as the veteran second baseman was scratched from Wednesday's lineup with the injury, and we expect the Padres to be careful with him with Opening Day right around the corner. Luis Urias starts at the keystone in his place.

Kinsler was removed from the lineup earlier in the day but the reason for his absence was previously unknown. The team currently considers him day-to-day but it wouldn't be surprising for the veteran second baseman to get at least a couple days off to facilitate a clean recovery.

It's unclear if Kinsler is dealing with an injury. Greg Garcia takes his place at second base, while Luis Urias remains at shortstop and moves up to the leadoff spot.
