Getting regular reps in right field
Johnson will start in right field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Analysis
Following his call-up from Triple-A El Paso on Monday, Johnson has now started in six consecutive games, with three apiece coming against left- and right-handed pitching. He's gone just 2-for-16 at the plate in the first five games, but he's drawn three walks while coming around to score twice. Johnson looks like he'll be the preferred option in right field over David Peralta while Fernando Tatis (quadricep) is on the injured list.

Contract selected, starting Monday
The Padres selected Johnson's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Monday, and he will start in right field and bat ninth for Monday's series opener against the Nationals.
Analysis
Johnson's promotion to the big club was part of a flurry of moves made by the Padres on Monday, including placing Fernando Tatis (quadriceps) on the injured list. Johnson joined San Diego on a minor-league contract in December, and in Triple-A he's slashing .301/.430/.461 with three home runs and 28 RBI over 259 plate appearances while adding 18 stolen bases. He appeared in 30 major-league games with the Giants in 2023, and the 28-year-old will be thrown into big-league action Monday against Nationals right-hander Patrick Corbin.
