Chris Paddack Taken Deep Three Times

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack suffered his fourth loss Monday against the Chicago Cubs after allowing five earned runs over 4 ⅓ innings. Paddack's run of four consecutive strong outings was abruptly halted at Wrigley Field, where he was pounded for six hits including three homers. The right-hander walked one while striking out six. […]


Fernando Tatis Jr. Tattoos One Into Wrigley Bleachers

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. went 1-for-3 Monday against the Chicago Cubs, hammering his 16th home run and scoring two runs. El Niño continued his rampage on major league pitchers, smashing a moonshot solo job to right-center in the sixth inning. He also walked and scored after reaching on an error. The blast […]


Manny Machado Expected Back This Weekend

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (shoulder) is expected back for the weekend series against the Houston Astros. Out since May 20, Machado has been doing baseball activities all week and roped a pinch-hit RBI double Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 28-year-old has slashed just .228/.324/.401 this season with six homers, six steals […]


Eric Hosmer Smashes Fifth Homer

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers. In a thrilling contest, Hosmer's long ball in the sixth inning temporarily put the Friars ahead in the eventual 6-5 loss. The 31-year-old has had a solid campaign, slashing .293/.350/.427 with five homers, four steals and 45 […]


Fernando Tatis Jr. Records Two Knocks But Defensive Struggles Persist

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. went 2-for-3 with two walks, two RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The strong offensive performance was welcomed after Tatis had gone 1-for-9 with five strikeouts through the series' first three contests. Unrelated to fantasy, the 22-year-old's struggles on defense continued with his 13th […]


Austin Nola Headed To Injured List

San Diego Padres manager Jayce Tingler disclosed that catcher Austin Nola (knee) is headed to the IL and will miss at least a couple weeks. Nola last played on May 24 and is suffering from a slight knee sprain. The 31-year-old missed the first month of the season with a fractured finger and had recorded […]


Ryan Weathers Makes Another Strong Start

San Diego Padres starter Ryan Weathers completed four frames of shutout ball Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Weathers pitched well over 78 tosses, permitting a hit and two walks while striking out five before being lifted for a pinch hitter. The 21-year-old continues to impress in his first big league season, owning a 1.31 ERA, […]


Mark Melancon Adds To League-Leading Saves Count

San Diego Padres closer Mark Melancon shut down the Milwaukee Brewers in extra innings Wednesday to collect his 17th save. Assisted with some savvy defense from second baseman Jake Cronenworth, Melancon navigated around the runner on second and a hit to secure the 2-1 victory. The 36-year-old continues his phenomenal 2021 campaign, leading the majors […]


Victor Caratini Comes Up Huge Again

San Diego Padres catcher Victor Caratini went 2-for-4 Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers, knocking in the game-winning run in extra innings. Even with a healthy Austin Nola, Caratini continues to receive and make the most of his opportunities. Slashing .237/.342/.371 with three homers, two steals and 23 runs-plus-RBI, he's worth a look in two-catcher formats. […]


Chris Paddack Continues Strong May Run

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack threw six strong innings Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers, settling for a no-decision. The right-hander extended his resurgent May, allotting just two hits and no walks while striking out two. His primary mistake was permitting a home run to starting counterpart Eric Lauer. Through four starts this month, the […]


Jurickson Profar One Of Six Friars To Run Wild Against Brewers

San Diego Padres infielder/outfielder Jurickson Profar finished 2-for-3 with two RBI, a run scored and a steal Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Profar beat the shift with an RBI knock in the third inning against starter Corbin Burnes and later iced the game with a run-scoring double to extend the eventual 7-1 victory. One of […]


Joe Musgrove Fails To Qualify For Victory

San Diego Padres starter Joe Musgrove was pulled after 4 ⅔ frames Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers despite giving up zero runs. Charged with just one hit and one walk, the end result seems fine but the right-hander battled command issues, locating only 49 of 84 pitches for strikes. After loading the bases in the […]


Drew Pomeranz To Be Shut Down For A Week

San Diego Padres reliever Drew Pomeranz (shoulder, lat) will be shut down for a week after experiencing lat tightness during his recovery from the IL. Pomeranz had progressed to facing live batters over the weekend but the setback will obviously delay his return to the bullpen. The left-hander hasn't pitched since May 9 and held […]


Manny Machado Still Out But Not Expected To Land On IL

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (shoulder) is expected to take batting practice Tuesday and could be available off the bench. Machado has been out since May 20 and the Friars believe it's not serious enough for an IL stint. The 28-year-old has had an uneven year, slashing .225/.323/.394 with six homers, six steals […]


Tommy Pham Goes Deep Monday Night

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Pham's second long ball of the year came in the ninth inning as the Friars mounted a failed late-game comeback. The round-tripper was just the veteran's fifth extra-base hit this season and after wallowing with a sub-.600 […]


Blake Snell's Clunker Halts Streaking Padres

San Diego Padres starter Blake Snell served up five earned runs in 3 ⅔ innings in a loss Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Snell fanned seven in his short outing but was again plagued by extended counts, yielding three walks and five knocks including two long balls. The left-hander continues his disappointing campaign, meandering to […]


Trent Grisham Lands On Injured List

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham (heel) is expected to land on the injured list before Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Friars center fielder missed the final two contests over the weekend with a heel bruise and it's lingered long enough to merit an IL stint. Utilityman Jurickson Profar will start in center […]


Yu Darvish Wins With An Assist From Slam Diego

San Diego Padres starter Yu Darvish earned his fifth victory Sunday against the Seattle Mariners, tossing seven innings of one-run baseball. The right-hander navigated around seven hits to yield one earned run, managing a tight contest until the Friars blew it open with seven runs combined in the sixth and seventh inning. Darvish fanned five […]


Fernando Tatis Jr. Blasts Off Over Weekend Series

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. finished 3-for-3 with two home runs, three runs scored and six RBI Sunday against the Seattle Mariners. El Niño continued his torrid run in his first at-bat, launching a no-doubter off starter Justin Dunn. He singled in a run in the sixth frame before crushing a grand slam […]


CJ Abrams Holding His Own At Double-A

San Diego Padres infield prospect CJ Abrams has lived up to expectations so far at Double-A San Antonio, rocking a 162 wRC+ through 64 plate appearances. The Friars No. 2 prospect (No. 8 overall) has mashed two homers and stolen three bases with a .933 OPS. Abrams annihilated Rookie ball two years ago with a […]


Robert Hassell III's Professional Career Off To Great Start

San Diego Padres outfield prospect Robert Hassell III has enjoyed a strong start to his professional career, registering a 156 wRC+ over 14 games with Low-A Lake Elsinore. The 19-year-old was the Friars first-round pick in 2020 and despite missing a year of gametime development last season, has continued showing major potential. Scouted as a […]


Jake Cronenworth Rounds Bases The Old-Fashioned Way

San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies. Cronenworth laced a ball off the right field wall in the sixth inning and used his wheels to capitalize on a misplay by outfielder Charlie Blackmon to touch them all. The 27-year-old has been on a […]


Joe Musgrove Fires Gem In Sweep Of Rockies

San Diego Padres starter Joe Musgrove blanked the Colorado Rockies Wednesday, earning his fourth victory. The right-hander dealt 11 strikeouts over 93 pitches, yielding two harmless hits and walking none. After a couple rocky starts to open May, the 28-year-old has gotten on track with two solid outings. Through nine starts, Musgrove holds a sharp […]


Fernando Tatis Jr. Returns With A Bang

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. went 4-for-4 with a home run, steal, two doubles and two RBI Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies. Making his return from the COVID-19 list, Tatis wasted no time from the cleanup position, singling and swiping a bag in his first at-bat before launching a two-run tater in his […]


Keone Kela Undergoes Tommy John Surgery

San Diego Padres reliever Keone Kela (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Wednesday. The 28-year-old last pitched on May 7 and exited the outing with forearm tightness. Signed to a one-year deal this offseason, Kela appeared in 12 games, posting a 5.06 ERA. After making just three appearances in 2020 due to elbow issues, the […]


Ha-Seong Kim Unable To Capitalize On Regular Playing Time

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim went 1-for-4 with a double Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies. With shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (COVID-19) on the shelf, Kim has garnered daily starts the past week but hasn't capitalized, going 6-for-28 (.214 average) since May 11. The 25-year-old former KBO star has had a rough offensive transition to […]


MacKenzie Gore Plagued By Inefficiency At Triple-A

San Diego Padres starting prospect MacKenzie Gore allowed five runs in 3 ⅔ innings Tuesday for Triple-A El Paso against the Albuquerque Isotopes. The Friars top prospect and MLB's No. 6 overall continues to struggle after three starts, possessing a 7.24 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 7.9 K/9 in 13 ⅔ frames. Despite the Padres volatile […]


Blake Snell Finally Turns In Quality Start

San Diego Padres starter Blake Snell recorded his first quality start of 2021 Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies with six innings of one-run baseball. The left-hander worked around four extra-base hits (five knocks total) and a walk while fanning 11 across 97 pitches. Snell has battled efficiency issues all season, holding a 3.79 ERA and […]


Tommy Pham Can't Catch A Break

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham went 0-for-4 and grounded into two double plays Monday against the Colorado Rockies. After a promising start to May, the 33-year-old has just two hits in his last six contests, dropping his slash to .189/.318/.226 in 129 plate appearances. Pham's extended funk remains befuddling considering his respectable batted-ball outcomes […]


Jake Cronenworth On Extended Run With Hits In 16 Of 19 Games

San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth went 2-for-3 with a run scored Monday against the Colorado Rockies. The two-hit night stretches Cronenworth's hitting streak to five and he's now collected knocks in 16 of his last 19 contests including a .351 average in May. While the 27-year-old doesn't make much hard contact, his positional […]
