We had yet another very high-scoring slate on Friday night, which was probably to be expected with some aces on the hill and some really good offenses with good match-ups, too.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/3/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Sometimes you just have to load up on the Coors Field game and sometimes you just fade it. Last night, I hope you played the chalky Braves because they ended up hanging 13 on Colorado, while the Rockies still managed to score six in defeat. We have another Coors game on this 12-game slate, but […]

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Sean Manaea hurled six strong innings on Thursday as his club fell to the Brewers 5-4.

Blake Snell Rounding Into Form

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Blake Snell is rounding into form after missing all of April and part of May since returning from a groin injury. The 29-year-old allowed two earned runs across six innings while allowing two hits, three walks, and striking out six on Tuesday in St. Louis against the Cardinals. On the […]

Robinson Cano Optioned, Elects Free Agency

The San Diego Padres optioned infielder Robinson Cano to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday, but he has elected free agency.

After getting cut by the New York Mets earlier this year, Cano went just 3-for-33 with one RBI and […]

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (knee) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Myers received a gel injection in his inflamed right knee after Tuesday's game, and although the injury isn't considered serious, he'll miss another game.

Projecting MLB's Demoted Top Prospect Hitters - Is A Rebound Likely?

You know the pattern: an acclaimed prospect (or young player) gets the call, folks spend hundreds of dollars of FAAB on them, then they get demoted a few rough weeks later.

Drew Pomeranz Throwing Bullpens

San Diego Padres left-handed reliever Drew Pomeranz (forearm) is throwing bullpen sessions at 75 to 80%.

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (knee), who missed the last two games with right knee inflammation, is getting close to a return.
