LOS ANGELES -- Andy Green has written two lineups since Franmil Reyes was dealt to Cleveland this week, but they offer plenty of clues as to how the Padres will align their outfield without their regular right fielder.

Hunter Renfroe has started twice in right field. Barring something unforeseen, that's where he's going to play for the remainder of the season.

Wil Myers has also started twice -- though he's played once in left field and once in center. He'll continue to slide between the two positions.

For the third spot, Josh Naylor started against a right-hander Friday night, after Manuel Margot had started against a lefty on Thursday. Expect that platoon to continue.

Those are the basics of the Padres' new post-Franmil outfield alignment -- though there's clearly room for day-to-day alterations.

"It will all play out in time," said Padres manager Andy Green. "... Obviously it's all predicated on how well you swing the bat, and how much you help us win baseball games."

Renfroe's move is mostly insignificant. He's been excellent in left field, but he's actually been slightly better in right, according to defensive runs saved. (It's worth noting, however, that the move might decrease Renfroe's shot at a Gold Glove. He was the prohibitive favorite in left, but right field is loaded with excellent defenders in the National League, most notably Cody Bellinger.)

"He's played really well in left field, obviously," Green said. "But he's done a nice job, honestly, anywhere we've put him in the outfield this year."

Myers is rock-solid in left -- as evidenced by a pair of excellent running catches this week. But he's a below-average defender in center.

Plenty has been made about Myers' offensive splits between the two positions. He has an .871 OPS in 150 plate appearances as a left fielder, compared with a .569 mark in three fewer plate appearances in center.

Before Wednesday's game Myers said he was unaware of the difference, noting, "It's not necessarily about that -- I think that's just baseball."

Myers added: "I do enjoy left field. It's nice to get some consistent playing time there, but to be able to go to center field to help the team is nice. It's good to be able to have that versatility."

That versatility will allow for Naylor to receive regular playing time. Right now, Margot acts as a fourth outfielder. But the Padres also envision playing time for him -- both as a defensive replacement and starting occasionally over Myers against righties.

But there’s a wild card in the Padres' outfield mix: Travis Jankowski has fully recovered from the broken left wrist that sidelined him for 3 1/2 months. He was activated and optioned after a rehab stint last week, and Friday marked the first day Jankowski would've been eligible to be recalled.

An elite speed-and-defense weapon, Jankowski is hitting .472 at Triple-A El Paso in eight games since he was optioned. But if he were to return, it would almost certainly be in a bench role. For now, the Padres won't deviate from their newfound four-man outfield rotation.

Preller defends Green

The Padres entered play Friday having lost consecutive games in which their bullpen coughed up a late lead. Green received the bulk of the criticism, and he’s come under fire lately for his late-game decisions.

Speaking on 97.3 the Fan Friday morning, general manager A.J. Preller defended his skipper.

“Those are questions that every single night you can sit back as an armchair quarterback and say, ‘I would do this, I would do that,’” Preller said. “… If it doesn’t work, it’s easy to second guess. Andy’s very prepared as far as the in-game strategy. He’s as prepared as any manager I’ve been around in terms of seeing matchups, seeing what’s out in front, understanding the game situations, being ready.”

Preller later threw more support behind Green.

“In that chair, there’s a lot that goes into it,” Preller said. “The in-game strategy is definitely a part of it. But there’s so much more we’re looking at from what Andy brings to the table. … That part, I don’t worry about at all with Andy. He’s usually really prepared. That part, I think we have an advantage going into ballgames with him as our manager.”

Noteworthy

• Jose Castillo is slated for another rehab outing, likely on Saturday, Green said. The lefty reliever is approaching a comeback from a flexor strain in his left forearm. Saturday could very well be Castillo’s final rehab appearance. But he reached that step in mid-June, too, and left that outing with elbow tightness before being shut down for another month.

The Padres are eagerly anticipating Castillo’s return. In three innings since Castillo’s rehab was restarted, he has struck out eight hitters. He posted a 3.29 ERA with 52 K's in 38 1/3 innings as a rookie last year.

• Right-hander Cal Quantrill will start Saturday against the Dodgers, Green announced. Quantrill was always slated to pitch, but there remained a possibility that left-hander Adrian Morejon would serve as an opener for Quantrill. Morejon threw 46 pitches in relief on Thursday night, ruling him out for Saturday’s game.
