Carlos Quentin (knee) is back in Wednesday's lineup.

Quentin sat out Tuesday's game with continued discomfort in his surgically-repaired knee. It's going to be a challenge for him to hold up for the entire season, though seeing some time at DH during interleague play should be beneficial.

Carlos Quentin (knee) is not in the Padres' lineup Tuesday.

Quentin is dealing with more soreness in his surgically-repaired knee. He's expected to be available off the bench before returning to the lineup Wednesday, but there's no guarantee that the knee will be close to 100 percent anytime soon. Quentin is likely to be used in the DH spot for upcoming interleague series against the Rays and Orioles.

Carlos Quentin, playing on a sore knee, went 0-for-2 with a walk before coming out of Saturday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Forget the $27 million; the Padres would be better off right now if Quentin was gone and Kyle Blanks was playing regularly in left field. A healthy Quentin is a nice hitter, but he's still a dreadful hitter and it's not like he's ever healthy enough to make a real difference. The Padres should seriously consider DLing him until he's closer to 100 percent.

Carlos Quentin was scratched from the Padres' starting lineup on Friday due to a balky knee.

Jesus Guzman will replace him in left field. The oft-injured slugger is hitting just .208/.313/.415 with two homers and nine RBI through his first 18 games on the season. He's considered day-to-day.

Carlos Quentin went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the Padres' 13-7 win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

Quentin also doubled twice and scored three runs. The outfielder has good power but his inability to stay healthy -- or on the field in general -- has always limited his upside. There are better plays in most mixed leagues.

He's batting cleanup on Tuesday behind Chase Headley, which is the first time this season that the Pads have had both their No. 3 and 4 hitters available.
