Padres' Garrett Cooper: Out of lineup Friday
Cooper is not in the lineup Friday against the Astros.
Matt Carpenter will play first base and bat seventh versus the Astros and right-hander Hunter Brown. Cooper has struggled against righties this year, but he should generally be the Padres' primary first baseman with Jake Cronenworth (wrist) unlikely to return this season.

Padres' Garrett Cooper: Blasts three-run homer
Cooper went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Giants.
The Padres led from the first inning on, with Cooper's blast in the sixth solidifying their advantage. The first baseman started off a bit slow with San Diego, but he's gone 14-for-41 (.341) with a homer and seven RBI over his last 11 contests. He's picked up playing time since Jake Cronenworth (wrist) went on the injured list. Cooper is a lock to be in the lineup versus southpaws, but he's also gained a starting role against right-handers over the last week.

Padres' Garrett Cooper: Takes hold of regular role
Cooper will start at first base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Cooper has largely served as a short-side platoon player between first base and designated hitter with the Padres, but he's carved out a larger share of the playing time versus right-handed pitching since Ji-Man Choi (rib) was placed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 14. Since Choi played his last game Aug. 11, Cooper has started nine of the Padres' subsequent 12 games, and two of those absences came over the weekend while Cooper dealt with a wrist injury.

Padres' Garrett Cooper: Gets green light Monday

Padres' Garrett Cooper: Exits after hit-by-pitch
Cooper (wrist) was hit by a pitch as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning of the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Arizona and was immediately removed for a pinch runner.
After jamming his wrist Friday and being left out of the starting lineup for Saturday's matinee, Cooper felt well enough to pinch hit with the Padres trying to overcome a 6-4 deficit in the final frame, but he was drilled by a 93.8 mph Paul Sewald fastball just above the left elbow. Cooper was immediately replaced by Jose Azocar on the basepaths, but given that he represented the tying run, manager Bob Melvin might have made that move regardless. Cooper didn't make an appearance in the nightcap, but with San Diego now off Sunday after MLB juggled the schedule due to Hurricane Hilary, the 32-year-old will get a chance to heal up ahead of a home series against the Marlins that's still set to begin Monday.

Cooper was removed from Friday's win over the Diamondbacks after jamming his wrist, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
It doesn't sound like a major issue, but it's possible Cooper won't be available to play during Saturday's doubleheader. That could lead to Matt Carpenter seeing some rare action in the field for the Padres.

Padres' Garrett Cooper: Sent to San Diego
The Padres acquired Cooper and Sean Reynolds from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for Ryan Weathers, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Cooper has a .722 OPS and 13 home runs in 82 games this season and will now make his way to San Diego. The 32-year-old could find himself in the short side of a platoon at designated hitter since the Friars also acquired the lefty-hitting Ji-Man Choi on Tuesday.
