Reviewing Kyle Bishop's 10 Bold Predictions for 2020

My bold predictions for the 2020 season were published on March 4, or roughly a week before everything went to hell. At the time, nobody knew that we'd be left with a 60-game sprint as opposed to the usual marathon of 162. The shortened season obviously changed the calculus a great deal, but it can […]

Dinelson Lamet, Mike Clevinger Throw Monday

San Diego Padres starting pitchers Dinelson Lamet (biceps) and Mike Clevinger (elbow) both threw on Monday, playing what sources called "aggressive catch," but neither threw a bullpen session. Both pitchers are rotation options for the wild-card series against the Cardinals, which starts on Wednesday. They're unlikely to start in Game 1 since they haven't thrown […]

Wil Myers Back In The Lineup On Sunday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (quadriceps) was removed from the second game of Friday's double-header after he was dealing with quad tightness. He then went on to sit out Saturday's game. Fortunately, he'll be back in action for the team's regular season finale, playing right field and batting fourth. Myers has rebounded well from […]

Trent Grisham Sitting Out Season Finale

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham is not in the starting lineup for the team's season finale against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. Jurickson Profar is getting the start in center field, while Fernando Tatis Jr. is moving up to the leadoff spot in the game. Grisham has been a revelation for the Padres […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/27/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Chris Paddack Makes Wild Card Series Roster, Role Undecided

San Diego Padres right-handed pitcher Chris Paddack is heading to the postseason alongside his club, although what his role will be remains undecided. The club currently pegs Dinelson Lamet and Mike Clevinger to start Games 1 and 2 of the Wild Card series, respectively, although both are dealing with arm injuries that may force Paddack […]

Wil Myers Absent From Saturday’s Starting Lineup

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (quad) is not among the club’s starting nine Saturday versus San Francisco and right-hander Johnny Cueto. Myers exited Friday’s game due to quad tightness, paving the way for both Tommy Pham and Jurickson Profar to hold down outfield spots. Myers has had a career year in 2020, delivering a […]

San Diego Believes Dinelson Lamet May Pitch In Wild Card Series

San Diego Padres right-handed pitcher Dinelson Lamet (biceps) departed his start Friday versus San Francisco early, throwing his availability for the Wild Card series, which begins Wednesday, into doubt.

Mike Clevinger's Postseason Status In Doubt

San Diego Padres right-handed pitcher Mike Clevinger (biceps) departed his start Wednesday early due to biceps tightness, an ailment that may ultimately force him to miss the remainder of 2020. Clevinger is set to undergo an MRI, but even if there is no necessity of surgery, any kind of muscle strain may put the righty […]

Mike Clevinger Unexpectedly Exits After One Inning

San Diego Padres starter Mike Clevinger was lifted after just one inning Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels. The 29-year-old was unexpectedly forced from the contest after a scoreless frame, raising speculation if the move is related to the biceps tightness that caused him to miss his last start. This is clearly a negative development […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Gets Day Off Wednesday

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. is not among the club’s starting nine for Wednesday’s contest versus the Angels and right-hander Jaime Barria. For the first time in his career, Jake Cronenworth is batting in the No. 2 spot in the order, as he shifts over to short to step in for Tatis. Despite […]

Strahm owns a stingy 2.84 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and 14/3 K/BB through 19 innings out of the bullpen in 2020. He is […]

Mike Clevinger Scheduled To Start Wednesday

San Diego Padres starter Mike Clevinger (biceps) is expected to start Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Clevinger missed Saturday's start against the Seattle Mariners with bicep tightness. Thankfully, the 29-year-old threw a successful bullpen session on Monday, so he should have no limitations on Wednesday. Clevinger owns a 3-2 record to go along […]

Machado launched a three-run blast off starter Yusei Kikuchi in the fourth frame and punctuated his big evening with a solo shot in the ninth. The 28-year-old continues his torrid run and has […]

Chris Paddack Blanks Mariners Across Six Frames

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack was brilliant over six innings Friday against the Seattle Mariners, permitting just three baserunners and zero runs. Paddack struck out only three, but induced 12 groundouts, exiting after 91 pitches to collect his fourth victory. The 24-year-old has taken a step back in 2020, posting poor batted-ball outcomes while […]
