Drew Pomeranz Throwing Bullpens

San Diego Padres left-handed reliever Drew Pomeranz (forearm) is throwing bullpen sessions at 75 to 80%. Manager Bob Melvin is optimistic about Pomeranz's progress, but the team doesn't want to push him too fast after he had flexor tendon surgery in August of 2021. Pomeranz is hopeful that the surgery will permanently fix an injury […]

Mike Clevinger On Track To Return This Weekend

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (triceps) is on track to come off the injured list and rejoin the team during their series against the Milwaukee Brewers from June 2-5. Skipper Bob Melvin said Clevinger would probably start the final game of the series on Sunday if everything goes well in his final bullpen […]

Wil Myers Close To Returning

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (knee), who missed the last two games with right knee inflammation, is getting close to a return. Myers ran before the game on Monday, and manager Bob Melvin said he'd be available off the bench, although he never entered the 6-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. The 31-year-old […]

The minor league season rages on. Now that fantasy baseball teams have been drafted and the season is underway, it's imperative to monitor the top fantasy baseball prospects who have turned heads thus far.

Jake Cronenworth Collects Two Hits Monday

San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth picked up a pair of hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. He doubled, scored a run, and struck out once. Cronenworth's having a poor offensive season after two productive campaigns to begin his career. Over 47 games, he's slashing .213/.297/.328 with three home runs, […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. To Have Another Scan Next Week

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist) will have his wrist scanned again when the Padres return from their road trip next week. There is optimism that Tatis will be able to resume swinging after that. The 23-year-old superstar is with the Padres on their current road trip and will run and take ground […]

Manny Machado Returns Against Cardinals

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (elbow) is back at third base and is hitting second on Monday against St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Packy Naughton.

We more or less dodged any more devastating injury news in the starting pitcher world this week, but I'm sure there are plenty of teams out there starving for good starting pitching.

Manny Machado Expected To Return On Monday

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (elbow) is expected to return to the starting lineup on Monday, according to head coach Bob Melvin. He missed the final two games of the series against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to elbow soreness. The 29-year-old has been on fire at the plate, so luckily this was only […]

Manny Machado Remains Out On Sunday

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (elbow) is not in the lineup on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Machado missed Saturday's game as well with elbow soreness so another day off was to be expected for the 29-year-old. The elbow issue is not considered to be serious but Machado will remain day-to-day for the […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Fantasy Baseball - Week 8

This week presents a lot of high-risk/high-reward streaming options that could swing either way.

Joe Musgrove Strikes Out Seven In No-Decision

San Diego Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove allowed one run on six hits and two walks while striking out seven across six innings in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. He did not factor into the decision. The 29-year-old cruised through most of the game, allowing one run in the third frame. He was in […]

Taylor Rogers Charged With The Blown Save And Loss

San Diego Padres pitcher Taylor Rogers (0-1) was tagged with the loss after allowing three runs on two hits and one walk while striking out three over an inning. He was charged with his first loss and second blown save of the season. The 31-year-old entered the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead. He […]

Luke Voit Singles, Scores A Run On Saturday

San Diego Padres first baseman Luke Voit drew two walks along with a single, but the Padres couldn't come back from a two-run deficit on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Since Voit hit two homers against Atlanta Braves on May 11, many folks hoped he would display the power he showed in New York. Unfortunately, […]
