Padres' Ty France: Enters off bench Sunday

France (wrist) was hit by a pitch after entering as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning of Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Dodgers.

France hasn't started since being struck on the wrist by a Roki Sasaki fastball Friday. The veteran infielder had X-rays this weekend that returned negative, and manager Craig Stammen has said that France isn't expected to need a stint on the injured list. That notion was supported Sunday when France entered the contest as a replacement for Gavin Sheets. France got beaned again in that plate appearance -- this time on the left elbow -- but didn't appear to be in any pain and ran the bases before finishing the game on defense at first base. France could return to the starting lineup as soon as Monday's series opener in Chicago against the Cubs.
