Luis Urias Off To Sluggish Start Since Recall

Since being recalled on July 20, San Diego Padres second baseman Luis Urias is 1-for-16 and batting .075 overall in 2019. However, he has drawn four walks and scored four runs since returning. The Padres No. 2 prospect was absolutely raking in Triple-A, posting a .998 OPS, but has yet to acclimate to the big […]

Eric Lauer Can't Survive Three Frames

San Diego Padres starter Eric Lauer was awful on Thursday, lasting just 2 1/3 innings against the New York Mets. It was death by a thousand cuts for Lauer who yielded six hits and three walks that led to four earned runs. Lauer has been volatile this season, with both spectacular starts and forgettable clunkers. […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Records Three Hits On Wednesday

San Diego Padres rookie shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's game. It was the third straight multi-hit game for Tatis, who is now slashing .331/.392/.599 on the year with 16 home runs, 41 RBI, 50 runs and 14 stolen bases over 66 games. His .413 wOBA ranks […]

Matt Strahm Rediscovering Groove From Bullpen

San Diego Padres reliever Matt Strahm picked up his fourth win Wednesday against the New York Mets. Spelling starter Dinelson Lamet, Strahm completed two perfect frames, fanning four. Since returning to the bullpen, Strahm has flourished with a 1.59 ERA and eight strikeouts across 5 2/3 innings. While he might make a handful of spot […]

Dinelson Lamet's Value Capped By Managed Workload

San Diego Padres starter Dinelson Lamet allowed two earned runs but lasted just four innings Wednesday against the New York Mets. Lamet was pulled after 80 pitches, missing out on his first victory despite striking out six. He relinquished four hits and a walk. Through four starts since returning from Tommy John surgery, Lamet has […]

Francisco Mejia Sitting Wednesday

San Diego Padres catcher Francisco Mejia is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the New York Mets. Mejia has been stellar since returning from the minors in June, and even more so since the break. In eight games since the break, Mejia is slugging .827 and has two home runs, four runs and five […]

Michel Baez Tosses Scoreless Inning In Debut

San Diego Padres reliever Michel Baez recorded a scoreless inning in his major league debut Tuesday. Baez limited the New York Mets to a single in his middle-relief appearance to kick off his career. The Padres No. 5 prospect and No. 70 in baseball was recently promoted from Double-A where he registered a 2.00 ERA […]

Chris Paddack Inefficient In Queens

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack was ineffective on Tuesday, allowing three earned runs in a loss against the New York Mets. The fiery rookie needed 88 pitches to survive five innings, yielding five hits and two walks. He struck out four and served up two critical long balls to veteran second baseman Robinson Cano. […]

Hot Prospects To Watch - Trey Supak, Trent Grisham, Cal Raleigh, Tucker Davidson

As we get deeper into the second half of the season, there's a greater chance we'll see more and more prospects called up from the minor leagues. That doesn't mean they'll play regularly, however, and not all of them will be fantasy-relevant immediately. But it's certainly an exciting time for those in fantasy leagues looking […]

San Diego Padres outfielder Travis Jankowski (wrist) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Monday. Jankowski suffered a fractured left wrist during spring training and has been sidelined all season. He has been optioned to Triple-A since there is no room for him in the crowded San Diego outfield. He should be back […]

Francisco Mejia Supplanting Austin Hedges

Since returning to the majors on June 18, San Diego Padres catcher Francisco Mejia has raised his average from .167 to .218 and hammered four homers. Mejia finished Sunday’s contest 2-for-3 with a walk, including a game-deciding solo shot against the Chicago Cubs. While early-season struggles and injury prevented his ascent, Mejia is gradually supplanting […]

Trey Wingenter Demoted To Triple-A

The San Diego Padres optioned reliever Trey Wingenter to Triple-A on Sunday. Along with outfielder Josh Naylor, Wingenter was demoted to make room for top pitching prospects Michel Baez and Adrian Morejon. With a 12.6 K/9, the 25-year-old Wingenter offered tantalizing strikeout potential but lacked consistent control and was hit hard often. He’ll look to […]

Josh Naylor Optioned to Minors

San Diego Padres first baseman Josh Naylor has been optioned to the minors on Sunday. Naylor hit .236/.287/.358 with three home runs and 16 RBI during his time in the majors. However, there just wasn't enough playing time available for Naylor. It's better if Naylor gets regular playing time in the minors, so he can […]

San Diego Padres pitcher Michel Baez had his contract purchased by the organization on Sunday. Baez is one of the top ranked prospects in the Padres' farm system right now. He has a 2.00 ERA with 38 strikeouts in 27 innings in the minors this season. He's been pitching in relief all season. He could […]
