Perdomo Out, Vargas In: Diamondbacks Adjust Lineup

0:00On April 26th, Arizona Diamondback star shortstop, Gerardo Predomo is sitting out game two against the San Diego Padres in Mexico City after spraining. His left ankle, late in Saturday's rough loss. He got hurt trying to turn a double play, got charged with an error, but the team's calling it day-to-day for now. Manager Tori Lavulo feels strong about keeping Predomo off the injured list, though that could shift. Filling in as short as Jose Fernandez, who's already started there and shines across the infield with solid defensive stats. Ildemaro Vargas slides to second base and leads off, riding a blazing 22 game hitch streak that's the longest in the majors right now, including. A franchise record 19 to start this year. Kettle Marta gets a breather at designated hitter with Tim Tawai at first. On the mound, Ryan Nelson takes the ball looking to shake off his nightmare start against the Blue Jays, where he gave up eight runs in just one out. The bullpen's short after Saturday's long outing, so he needs to go deeper.
