Iglesias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Iglesias served as the Padres' primary second baseman in April, but he shifted back to a reserve role when Jake Cronenworth was reinstated from the injured list Friday. Iglesias is also batting just .050 (1-for-20) in May, giving San Diego less incentive to find ways to get him into the lineup elsewhere.

Padres' Jose Iglesias: Sitting again Tuesday
Rotowire
Iglesias is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Yankees on Tuesday.
Iglesias is out of the Padres' lineup for a second straight game, with Tyler Wade starting at second base and batting ninth. Iglesias went 3-for-26 over his last eight games, which clouded his nice start to the season when he had a .298 average and .723 OPS in the first 18 games.

Padres' Jose Iglesias: Cracks two doubles in victory
Rotowire
Iglesias went 2-for-2 with two doubles, two walks, a run and two RBI in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Rockies.
The 35-year-old finally made do on filling in for Jake Cronenworth (rib), picking up his first extra-base hits in his fifth consecutive start. Iglesias capped off the scoring in a four-run first inning with his first double of 2025 off Colorado starter Kyle Freeland. He then collected his second two-bagger in the fourth. The veteran Iglesias, who raised his slash line to .292/.370/.375 over 27 plate appearances with this effort, will continue to get playing time while Cronenworth is on the injured list.

Padres' Jose Iglesias: First career start in outfield
Rotowire
Iglesias is starting in left field and batting seventh against the Athletics on Tuesday.
Iglesias has never started in the outfield during his professional career, so Tuesday will be a first for the 35-year-old. With three of the Padres' possible left fielders on the bench because a lefty is on the mound and with Brandon Lockridge starting in center due to Jackson Merrill's hamstring injury, the door opened for Iglesias to head to left field.

Padres' Jose Iglesias: Added to Opening Day roster
Rotowire
The Padres selected Iglesias' contract from Triple-A El Paso ahead of Thursday's 7-4 win over Atlanta.
Iglesias went unused off the bench in the win, but he secured his spot on the Opening Day roster after beating out Tyler Wade for a utility infield job. The 34-year-old Iglesias may see occasional starts against left-handed pitching but may otherwise find consistent at-bats difficult to come by while second baseman Jake Cronenworth, third baseman Manny Machado and shortstop Xander Bogaerts are all healthy.

Padres' Jose Iglesias: Makes Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Iglesias will be a part of the Padres' Opening Day roster, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Iglesias will officially make the team's initial 26-man roster after signing a minor-league deal with San Diego on March 5. The 35-year-old went 5-for-25 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and four strikeouts over 11 games with the Padres this spring. Iglesias will likely operate in a utility role with San Diego to open the season, serving as a backup option to Jake Cronenworth, Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts in the infield.

Padres' Jose Iglesias: Strikes deal with San Diego
Rotowire
The Padres agreed to a minor-league contract with Iglesias on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
He'll be paid $3 million if in the majors, with $1 million more available in incentives. Iglesias had something of a career revival with the Mets in 2024, slashing .337/.381/.448 in 85 games during the regular season before slumping to a .488 OPS over 12 playoff games. Iglesias is likely to win a roster spot in San Diego and should see a decent number of starts along the infield, allowing other regulars to see some action in the designated-hitter spot.
Iglesias is absent from the lineup Friday in Game 5 of the NLCS versus the Dodgers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Iglesias had started every game of the postseason so far for the Mets but is slashing just .227/.261/.227 in 11 contests. Jeff McNeil is starting at second base and batting eighth Friday as the Mets try to avoid elimination.
Iglesias went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Reds.
With Jeff McNeil (wrist) done for the season, the door is open for Iglesias to get an everyday role at second base down the stretch for the Mets. The 34-year-old infielder has been remarkably productive since joining the team in late May, and he's slowed down only a little in the second half, slashing .278/.326/.329 over 86 plate appearances since the beginning of August. Iglesias offers effectively no power and only a little speed, but consistent playing time will still give him some fantasy upside in deep formats.

Mets' Jose Iglesias: Game-winning RBI against Arizona
Rotowire
Iglesias went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks.
The veteran infielder came up big when it mattered, bringing home Tyrone Taylor with a single up the middle in the top of the ninth inning to break a 2-2 tie. Iglesias continues to get consistent playing time at second base while occasionally filling in at third base, and through 65 plate appearances in August he's slashing .276/.338/.328 with two steals, five runs and five RBI.
