Padres' Austin Nola: Back on bench
Nola will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Yankees, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Nola's playing time has slipped recently, particularly against right-handers. He remains the primary catcher against lefties, but it's been Brett Sullivan behind the plate against four of the last five righties, including Saturday's starter Luis Severino. Nola is hitting .135/.259/.188 on the year, so he's not making much of a case to expand his role.

Nola is out of the lineup again Thursday against the Nationals.
Brett Sullivan will make a second straight start at catcher and could continue to get regular looks versus right-handed pitching opponents, though neither backstop has been particularly productive with the bat this year. It's a situation to avoid in standard fantasy leagues.

Padres' Austin Nola: Hits first homer of season
Nola went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 victory over the Giants.
Nola took advantage of the incredibly friendly hitting environment in Mexico City on Sunday, crushing a 440-foot homer that plated Matt Carpenter in the fifth inning. His long ball was the catalyst for the Padres' comeback, scoring the first two of six unanswered runs over the final four frames. Nola owns an abysmal .156/.280/.234 slash line through 21 games and should remain outside of fantasy consideration, especially once Luis Campusano (thumb) returns.

Padres' Austin Nola: Back in action Monday
Nola (hand/nose) will start at catcher and bat sixth in Monday's Cactus League game against the Mariners.
Assuming he comes out of Monday's exhibition finale without aggravating the left hand injury he suffered Saturday or the fractured nose he suffered March 19, Nola should be on track to serve as the Padres' Opening Day catcher Thursday versus the Rockies.

Padres' Austin Nola: Returns to lineup
Nola (hand/nose) is back in the lineup for Sunday's Cactus League game against the Mariners, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.
Nola took a foul ball off his hand in a minor-league contest Saturday, and he also suffered a fractured nose after being hit in the face by a pitch March 19. The backstop is feeling well enough to play in an exhibition contest, however, and it appears there's a good chance Nola will be ready to roll for the beginning of the regular season.
