San Diego Padres outfielder Franchy Cordero (elbow) and starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet (elbow) will both start rehab assignments this week, with Lamet beginning on Wednesday at High-A Lake Elsinore.

Welcome to this week's Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Monday, May 27th (unless otherwise noted).
