Johnson will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Reds. Johnson will cover right field for the second straight game, after he went 0-for-2 with a stolen base -- his fifth of the season -- while starting in Tuesday's 5-3 loss in 11 innings. The 30-year-old isn't expected to be in line for extended playing time, as he'll likely fade into a reserve role as soon as Miguel Andujar moves past his hamstring injury or Jake Cronenworth (concussion) returns from the 7-day injured list.

Bryce Johnson: Breaking News
Key RBI in win
Johnson started in right field and went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's victory over the Angels. Johnson drew a rare start, with Fernando Tatis shifting to second base. The former made the most of the opportunity, notching two hits and driving in a key run in the seventh inning to extend the lead to 2-0 in a 2-1 win for the Padres. In 18 plate appearances this season, Johnson owns a .669 OPS and figures to continue seeing limited playing time in a loaded San Diego outfield that regularly features Ramon Laureano, Jackson Merrill and Tatis.
Making third start of the season
Johnson will start in right field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rockies. Johnson will crack the lineup for just the third time in the Padres' first 16 games, with two of those starts having come against left-handed pitching. The switch-hitting outfielder is a platoon option for the Padres but won't necessarily be a regular presence in the lineup versus lefties while San Diego has most of its key position players available.
