Eric Hosmer Plays Key Role In Friars Victory

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer went 2-for-3 with a home run, walk, two RBI and three runs scored Monday against the Miami Marlins. Hosmer played a key role in the 8-3 victory, cranking a solo shot in the second then providing an insurance RBI single in the eighth frame. The 31-year-old snapped his […]


Adam Frazier Starting To Heat Up

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier compiled three hits and a run scored Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Frazier doubled in the first inning and touched home two batters later on a single by infielder Jake Cronenworth. Since a 4-for-25 slide to start his Padres career, the 29-year-old has collected eight hits and a […]


Jake Cronenworth Powers Friars To Victory

San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a home run, and two RBI Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Cronenworth accounted for both Friar runs in the 2-0 victory, singling in second baseman Adam Frazier in the first inning before launching an offering from D-Backs starter Madison Bumgarner into the seats in the fourth […]


Blake Snell Turns In Best Start Of Season

San Diego Padres starter Blake Snell shut out the Arizona Diamondbacks for seven innings Sunday, collecting a season-high 13 strikeouts. Easily his best start of 2021, the left-hander induced 25 whiffs while permitting just two hits and three walks. The outing marked Snell's second consecutive positive start and the fourth time he completed six-plus innings. […]


Jorge Mateo Claimed By Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles claimed utilityman Jorge Mateo off waivers Thursday from the San Diego Padres. Infielder Pat Valaika was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Mateo had played sparingly in two seasons with the Padres, recording a .195/.235/.310 slash with two homers and six steals in 121 plate appearances. Fangraphs lists the 26-year-old speedster […]


Trent Grisham Bags Two Doubles Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and run scored Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics. Coming into the series on an 0-for-20 slide in his previous seven contests, Grisham collected four knocks and three RBI in the two-game series. Through 333 plate appearances, the 24-year-old owns a respectable .253/.339/.433 […]


Joe Musgrove's Victory Spoiled By Bullpen

San Diego Padres starter Joe Musgrove tossed six frames of one-run baseball Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics, settling for a no-decision. The right-hander struck out five in a crisp 99 pitches, yielding two hits and three walks. Musgrove's only mistake was a solo shot to infielder Jed Lowrie in the second inning, leaving with a […]


Tommy Pham Leads Off With A Bang

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics. Pham kicked off the contest with a leadoff blast against starter Sean Manaea, then added an RBI single an inning later as part of an 8-1 victory. Entering the contest hitting .103 (4-for-39) in his […]


Blake Snell Pitches Around Trouble For Fifth Win

San Diego Padres starter Blake Snell bounced back with five innings of one-run ball Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics, earning his fifth win. After getting pummeled by the A's for seven earned runs last week, Snell skirted around six hits and three walks to fan six over 105 pitches. While far from efficient, the outing […]


Austin Nola Collects Four Knocks

San Diego Padres catcher Austin Nola compiled four hits in five at-bats Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics with a run scored and two RBI. Making his sixth start since being activated from the IL on July 22, Nola had his best game of the season and first four-hit output of 2021. Limited to just 25 […]


Adam Frazier Out Of Tuesday's Lineup

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Oakland Athletics. The 29-year-old is just 4-for-25 (.160 average) since joining the Padres and will take a seat against A's southpaw Sean Manaea despite a .812 OPS versus lefties. Infielder Jake Cronenworth will stake his normal claim at second base while […]


Jorge Mateo Designated For Assignment

The San Diego Padres designated utilityman Jorge Mateo for assignment Tuesday. The move makes way for reliever Matt Strahm's (knee) activation from the 60-day IL. Mateo had played sparingly with the Friars, tallying a .572 OPS with two homers and five steals in 93 plate appearances. Once a highly touted prospect for the Oakland A's […]


Matt Strahm To Be Activated On Tuesday

San Diego Padres reliever Matt Strahm (knee) is expected to be activated from the IL before Tuesday's tilt with the Oakland Athletics. After undergoing offseason knee surgery, the left-hander had fanned seven over 3 ⅔ frames in a rehab assignment at Triple-A. With a starting rotation in flux, Strahm's return will bolster the Friars pitching […]


Trent Grisham Hitless In Last Seven Games

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham is without a hit in his last seven contests. The 23-year-old is mired in a deep slump, batting just .133 (8-for-60) with one extra-base hit in the past 18 games. The downturn has dragged his season slash to .246/.336/.426 to accompany 11 homers, nine steals and 76 runs-plus-RBI in […]


Ha-Seong Kim Enjoys Rare Offensive Outburst

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI Sunday against the Colorado Rockies. Kim contributed to a four-run first inning with a bases loaded, two-run double before launching a solo homer in the sixth frame. With the injury to shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (shoulder), Kim will be amongst […]


Dinelson Lamet Starting Rehab Assignment Wednesday

San Diego Padres pitcher Dinelson Lamet (forearm) will start a rehab assignment Wednesday. As expected, the right-hander will work out of the bullpen to manage the myriad arm issues he's dealt with since last season. Lamet has been limited to just 34 ⅓ innings in 2021, posting a 3.67 ERA and 26 percent strikeout rate. […]


Jake Cronenworth Steps Up For Friars

San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI in Sunday's 8-1 rout of the Colorado Rockies. Cronenworth started the scoring in the first frame with a two-run double and finished the series with two homers, four runs and six RBI. With star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. […]


Ryan Weathers Starting To Look Hittable

San Diego Padres starter Ryan Weathers was touched up for eight earned runs Friday against the Colorado Rockies. After a commendable start to his rookie campaign, the 21-year-old now stares at a 3.65 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and pedestrian 18 percent strikeout rate. Without many alternatives, Weathers appears locked in as the Friars fifth starter, but […]


Manny Machado Secures Another 20-Home Run Season

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs Friday against the Colorado Rockies. Machado was the only semblance of offense for the Friars in a 9-4 blowout loss. The 29-year-old continues his blistering hot streak, totalling a 1.174 OPS in July with eight homers. Overall, he carries a […]


Anderson Espinoza Traded To Cubs

The Chicago Cubs acquired prospect pitcher Anderson Espinoza in exchange for outfielder Jake Marisnick. The 23-year-old Espinoza is a former top prospect whose career has been derailed by two Tommy John surgeries since 2016. Currently in High-A, the right-hander carries a 5.02 ERA over 28 ⅔ frames. Scouted as a fireballer with three solid pitches, […]


Dinelson Lamet Possibly Headed For Bullpen Role

The San Diego Padres are contemplating a bullpen role for pitcher Dinelson Lamet (forearm). After dealing with elbow, forearm and biceps issues this offseason, the 29-year-old fireball has been limited to just 34 ⅓ innings and a 3.67 ERA after myriad stints on the IL. Currently throwing in simulated games, Lamet looks poised for a […]


Mark Melancon Regaining Confidence

San Diego Padres closer Mark Melancon preserved a 3-0 victory Thursday against the Colorado Rockies, collecting his 32nd save. The veteran right-hander worked around a one-out double by shortstop Trevor Story and avoided any further damage in the painless outing. After a rough stretch last month, Melancon has surrendered just two hits in his last […]


Jake Cronenworth Smacks Clutch Insurance Home Run

San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth pounded a clutch two-run homer Thursday against the Colorado Rockies. Cronenworth extended a slim 1-0 lead with an eighth-inning blast against reliever Daniel Bard for his only knock in four chances. While he's only tallied one multi-hit game in the past nine contests, Cronenworth remains a valuable fantasy asset […]


Joe Musgrove Puts Padres On His Back

San Diego Padres starter Joe Musgrove struck out 11 batters in seven shutout innings Thursday against the Colorado Rockies. The right-hander permitted just three hits and a walk in the gem, collecting his seventh victory. After a turbulent stretch, the 28-year-old has now registered two consecutive strong outings, lowering his season totals to a 2.94 […]


Adam Frazier Taking A Seat Thursday

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier is out of Thursday's lineup against the Colorado Rockies. Frazier will take a seat against Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland, with infielder Jake Cronenworth manning the keystone at cleanup and first baseman Eric Hosmer starting and batting sixth. Interestingly, all three lefties hit well against southpaws. Riding a modest […]


Blake Snell Crushed For Seven Earned Runs

San Diego Padres starter Blake Snell was tagged for seven earned runs in four innings Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics. The horrific side of the volatile Snell showed up as he served seven hits and four walks over 86 laborious pitches with a single strikeout. His doom was sealed before the Friars saw a pitch […]


Trent Grisham And Eric Hosmer Absent From Wednesday's Lineup

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham and first baseman Eric Hosmer are not in the lineup Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics. Both left-handed batters will take a seat against southpaw starter Sean Manaea. Despite a solid .858 OPS against lefties, Grisham is hitting just .162 in his last 10 contests and will make way for […]


Adam Frazier Collects Two Knocks In Padres Debut

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier went 2-for-5 with a couple singles and two runs scored Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics. Leading off in his Friars debut, the 29-year-old did what he does best by collecting knocks, coming around to score on a pair of home runs. Expected to play every day either at […]


Manny Machado Ices Friars Victory

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado collected two knocks Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics, including a three-run home run. Machado capped a five-run fifth inning with an opposite-field blast off A's reliever Yusmeiro Petit, his 18th of the season. Since the calendar flipped to June, Machado has been scalding the baseball, boasting a .325 […]


Chris Paddack Battles Back For Quality Start

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack earned his seventh win with six frames of three-run ball Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics. The right-hander dug an early hole with a three-run third, but managed to work around nine hits and a walk to survive as the Friars won 7-4. He struck out six. Through 93 innings, […]
