Andres Munoz Undergoes Tommy John Surgery

San Diego Padres reliever Andres Munoz (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Friday. Without daily news flow, this development comes as a surprise, but Munoz had encountered discomfort earlier in spring training. The 21-year-old debuted last season to a 3.91 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 31 percent strikeout rate in 23 frames while averaging a whopping […]


Joey Lucchesi's Starting Hopes Taking A Hit

San Diego Padres pitcher Joey Lucchesi has seen his starting hopes dim as spring training progresses. The 26-year-old has only lasted 4 2/3 innings combined in three starts with a poor 11.57 ERA output. Entering camp as the projected fifth starter, Lucchesi is locked in a battle with teammate Cal Quantrill, who has impressed with […]


Dinelson Lamet Extends Scoreless Spring

San Diego Padres starter Dinelson Lamet fired four innings of one-hit ball Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners. Lamet fanned three in his third start, extending his scoreless spring through nine frames. Nearly 24 months removed from Tommy John surgery, Lamet is locked as the Friars third or fourth starter and should be in-line for a […]


Cal Quantrill Almost Perfect In Latest Tune-Up

San Diego Padres pitcher Cal Quantrill was almost perfect in a three-inning start Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs. Facing a big league lineup, Quantrill’s only baserunner was yielded via error as he struck out three. The 25-year-old is battling with fellow starter Joey Lucchesi for the final rotation slot and has answered the pressure, owning a […]


Taylor Trammell Reassigned To Minors

San Diego Padres outfield prospect Taylor Trammell was reassigned to minor league camp on Wednesday. A long shot to make the roster, the Friars No. 5 prospect was smoking during spring training, posting a 1.049 OPS with four extra-base hits in 25 plate appearances. Acquired from the Cincinnati Reds midway through last season, Trammell will open […]


Adrian Morejon Sent Packing

San Diego Padres pitcher Adrian Morejon was optioned to minor league camp on Wednesday. The move isn’t entirely surprising after the 21-year-old had allowed 10 earned runs in just 2 1/3 innings this spring (38.57 ERA). The Friars No. 6 prospect endured a brief MLB debut in 2019, scuffling to a 10.13 ERA in eight […]


Javier Guerra's Stock Up In Crowded Bullpen

San Diego Padres reliever Javier Guerra continues making his case for a roster spot. Through 5 1/3 spring frames, the 24-year-old has fanned five and not allowed a run. Out of options, the team’s No. 24 prospect is hoping his 99 MPH heater and potential to throw multiple innings are key differentiators to cracking the […]


Adrian Morejon Thrashed By Blue Crew

San Diego Padres pitching prospect Adrian Morejon was crushed for four earned runs in just two-thirds of an inning Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 21-year-old yielded three walks and two hits, including a two-run homer in a doomed sixth-inning appearance. Through 2 1/3 frames this spring, Morejon possesses a ghastly 38.57 ERA. The […]


Luis Campusano-Bracero And Gabriel Arias Among Early Cuts

San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano-Bracero and shortstop Gabriel Arias were two key prospects sent to minor league camp over the weekend. The club’s No. 4 and 8 prospects, respectively, Campusano and Arias weren’t expected to compete for a roster spot after getting a few weeks of work in big league camp. The 21-year-old Campusano […]


Fernando Tatis Jr. Back In Friars Lineup

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (flu) is back in the lineup on Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Tatis will lead off after missing over a week of game action. The 21-year-old has just one hit and five strikeouts in 10 spring at-bats but it hasn’t affected his fantasy stock. Tatis lived up […]


Wil Myers Clears The Fences

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers went 2-for-3 with a solo homer on Wednesday against the Cleveland Indians. The 29-year-old has taken constant trade rumors in stride and collected three hits and a walk in nine spring training plate appearances. After performing like a legitimate four-category fantasy stud between 2016-2017, Myers has declined the past […]


Chris Paddack Breezes Through Two Frames

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack was near-flawless in his spring debut, firing two innings of shutout ball Wednesday against the Cleveland Indians. Spare a leadoff double in the second frame, Paddack retired his remaining opponents, collecting three strikeouts. The 24-year-old is looking to build off a rookie campaign where he posted a 3.33 ERA, […]


Gabriel Arias Turning Heads

San Diego Padres shortstop prospect Gabriel Arias has been a standout early in camp. Part of the organization since 2017, the 19-year-old posted an .809 OPS with 17 homers and eight steals in High-A last year across 511 plate appearances. He’s emerged as a top-10 prospect for the Padres. A plus defender gradually tapping into his […]


Tommy Pham Battling Side Soreness

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham is dealing with side soreness, per manager Jayce Tingler. Pham has yet to play in spring training and is considered day-to-day, but there’s no apparent link to his absence and the elbow issue he experienced last season. The 31-year-old played through a partially torn UCL in 2019 but still […]


Pierce Johnson Could Work Way Into Holds Mix

San Diego Padres reliever Pierce Johnson has an opportunity to be a key bullpen piece in 2020. After a bumpy start to his career in the majors, Johnson rediscovered his groove last season in Japan with a 1.38 ERA and 41 percent strikeout rate. Despite a crowded bullpen, Johnson’s roster spot is secure after earning […]


MacKenzie Gore And Luis Patino Will Be Slow Played

San Diego Padres rookie pitching prospects MacKenzie Gore and Luis Patino will be brought along slowly in spring training, per manager Jayce Tingler. With game action commencing, Tingler indicated it’ll be at least a week before either take the mound. Despite being baseball’s No. 5 and 27 prospects, respectively, Gore and Patino barely scratched Double-A […]


Manny Machado Rounds Bases In First At-Bat

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado cracked a two-run homer Monday against the Kansas City Royals in his first spring training at-bat. He finished the day 1-for-3. Machado, one of the biggest free-agent acquisitions in 2019, was a relative disappointment last year with a modest 108 wRC+. Without distractions this offseason, the 27-year-old has […]


Zach Davies Sharp In Spring Debut

San Diego Padres starter Zach Davies blanked the Milwaukee Brewers across two innings Sunday in his spring training debut. Facing his former squad, Davies received the nominal start and retired six batters in succession, including a strikeout. The 27-year-old tallied a 3.55 ERA (4.56 FIP) in 159 2/3 innings last season (31 starts) and is […]


Brian Dozier Joining Padres Camp

The San Diego Padres have signed second baseman Brian Dozier to a minor league deal. He’ll be invited to big league camp. The 32-year-old played for the defending champion Washington Nationals last season, registering a .771 OPS with 20 homers in 482 plate appearances. The former All-Star and Gold Glove winner further crowds the competition […]


Michel Baez Ready To Start Despite Long Odds

San Diego Padres pitcher Michel Baez is building up as a starter this spring training. Amongst a crowded group, Baez is likely seventh in line for the rotation behind Cal Quantrill, but the Friars believe he fits the bill. The 24-year-old prospect debuted in 2019 to a 3.03 ERA (4.36 FIP) and 8.5 K/9 in […]


Dinelson Lamet Won't Be Coddled In 2020

San Diego Padres starter Dinelson Lamet should have no workload limitations this season. The 27-year-old former prospect underwent Tommy John surgery in 2018 and returned last year to toss 73 frames across 14 starts. After shaking the rust, Lamet closed the season strong, posting a 3.60 ERA and electric 13.5 K/9 in his final nine […]


Franchy Cordero Destined For Platoon Role

It is increasingly likely that San Diego Padres outfielder Franchy Cordero will be part of a platoon in 2020. Even if Cordero outperforms projected starting center fielder Trent Grisham in spring training, MLB.com’s AJ Cassavell still believes he won’t play every day. The 25-year-old lefty owns a career .573 OPS against southpaws, paving the possibility […]


Jake Cronenworth Offers Two-Way Abilities

San Diego Padres infielder/pitcher Jake Cronenworth will work primarily as a fielder this spring training. Cronenworth, who joined the Friars along with outfielder Tommy Pham from the Tampa Bay Rays this offseason, is competing for a roster spots among a deep crew of infielders. The 26-year-old posted a .949 OPS with 10 homers and 12 steals […]


Garrett Richards Shouldn't Be Limited In 2020

San Diego Padres starter Garrett Richards should have a restriction-free workload in 2020, assuming he emerges from spring training unscathed. The 31-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery in July 2018 and returned to toss just 8 2/3 frames at the end of last season. Richards’ last full campaign was in 2015 when he posted a 3.65 […]


MacKenzie Gore Facing Steep Climb To Crack Roster

San Diego Padres pitching prospect MacKenzie Gore is working out in big league camp this spring but holds long odds to crack the Opening Day roster. Last year’s MLB Pipeline Pitcher of the Year and the top pitching prospect in baseball annihilated the minors in 2019, tallying a 1.69 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 12.0 K/9 […]


Trent Grisham The Front-Runner In Center Field Competition

The San Diego Padres expect outfielder Trent Grisham to be their Opening Day center fielder, according to San Diego Union-Tribune beat writer Kevin Acee. The 23-year-old was acquired in the offseason for infielder Luis Urias from the Milwaukee Brewers. Grisham lit up the minors last year before debuting with the Brewers to a .738 OPS […]


Joey Lucchesi And Cal Quantrill Battling For Fifth-Starter Gig

The San Diego Padres No. 5 starter could come down to Joey Lucchesi or Cal Quantrill. San Diego Union-Tribune beat writer Kevin Acee expects the top four rotation positions to be secured by Chris Paddack, Garrett Richards, Dinelson Lamet and Zach Davies. Both Lucchesi and Quantrill are homegrown youngsters that showed well in spurts last […]


Chris Paddack Emphasizing Curveballs In First Bullpen Session

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack was seen working “plenty” of curveballs into his first spring training bullpen session. The 24-year-old burst on the scene last season with a 3.33 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 9.8 K/9 in his debut campaign, while primarily utilizing a fastball-changeup combination. Having thrown his curve just 10 percent of pitches […]


Gordon Beckham Gets Invite To Padres Big League Camp

The San Diego Padres signed infielder Gordon Beckham to a minor league deal on Feb. 10 with an invitation to big league camp. The veteran 33-year-old appeared in 83 games for the Detroit Tigers last season, posting a modest .643 OPS across 240 plate appearances. It has never really clicked in the majors for the […]


Juan Lagares Joins Padres On Minor League Deal

The San Diego Padres signed outfielder Juan Lagares to a minor league deal on Feb. 10. According to sources, Lagares will be invited to big league camp and is likely a depth option for the Padres after outfielder Manuel Margot was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend. The light-hitting Lagares enjoyed his […]
