The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 12

So we're two and a half months into the season, and a lot of pictures are becoming more clear. Some players have been lost to injury time, plenty are underperforming, and there are of course new faces rising. No matter the situation, it could be time for a roster refresh--but not just the hum-drum obvious […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

Hard as it may be to believe, we're nearly halfway through the 2019 regular season. At this time of year, the waiver wire is arguably at its thinnest. Most teams are still angling to win and actively participating, and between injuries and finally cutting the cord on early-season disappointments, it can be difficult to find […]

Franmil Reyes is Out Friday

San Diego Padres outfielder Franmil Reyes (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Reyes has been a home run machine this season, hitting 19 bombs already, but will get a rest day here. Josh Naylor will cover right field and bat second versus righty Jeff Hoffman. Naylor isn't […]

Hunter Renfroe, Others Available In Trade

The San Diego Padres are open for business with the trade deadline approaching, and the team is "willing to part with" outfielder Hunter Renfroe and basically anyone besides Manny Machado, Eric Hosmer and shortstop prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. San Diego has had an abundance of outfielders all offseason, so this shouldn't come as a surprise. […]

Franmil Reyes Mired In Brutal Slump

San Diego Padres outfielder Franmil Reyes went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts Thursday against the Colorado Rockies. The 23-year-old slugger is amidst a deep slump, hitting just .194 in June with 15 strikeouts in 41 plate appearances. His average has dipped from .273 to .243 since May 14. For the year, he’s still posting a solid […]

Matt Strahm Taps Out Early At Coors Field

San Diego Padres starter Matt Strahm was tagged for six earned runs in 3 1/3 innings Thursday against the Colorado Rockies. Coors Field was not a favorable spot to return from an IL stint and Strahm did himself zero favors by allowing seven hits and four walks in the abbreviated outing. He fanned four on […]

Manny Machado Tags A Pair of Homers

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado popped two solo homers in Thursday’s loss to the Colorado Rockies. He also contributed an RBI single for a successful night at the dish in five plate appearances. The long balls take his season total to 12 and he’s slashing a pedestrian .247/.333/.425 with 69 runs-plus-RBI. Machado has […]

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 11)

Well, it finally happened. The Astros promoted No. 1 ranked 2019 impact prospect Yordan Alvarez last Sunday, perhaps to spark the offense or perhaps to increase his trade value while the club searches for controllable pitching. Or possibly both. Either way, he made his presence known immediately by homering in his first game which should […]

Manny Machado Goes 3-For-5 With Two Home Runs

San Diego Padres shortstop Manny Machado hit two home runs and had three hits with three RBI and two runs on Thursday. Machado now has 12 home runs and 36 RBI on the season and his slashing .247/.333/.425. The Padres slugger hasn't been as productive as his owners would have hoped thus far. His strikeout […]

Franchy Cordero Injures Leg In Rehab Game

San Diego Padres outfielder Franchy Cordero (leg, elbow) exited Wednesday’s rehab game in Triple-A with a leg injury. Cordero was amidst his 11th game recovering from an elbow ailment and was slated to return to the big leagues relatively soon. He was posting a .794 OPS with three homers but an alarming 35 percent strikeout […]

Joey Lucchesi Burned By Fielding Woes

San Diego Padres starter Joey Lucchesi allowed three runs (two earned) on Wednesday en route to his fourth loss of the year. The southpaw fired 90 pitches in six frames, garnering six strikeouts while allowing five hits and two walks. It was a disappointing outing for Joey Fuego in a cake matchup and he sits […]

Eric Hosmer Tacks On Another RBI

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer collected his team-leading 39th RBI Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants. Hosmer roped a double to put the Friars on the board in a contest the team eventually lost. The veteran’s 10th double secures double-digit two-baggers for Hosmer for the ninth consecutive season. Hosmer is slashing a solid […]

Matt Strahm To Be Activated Thursday Versus Rockies

San Diego Padres starter Matt Strahm is scheduled to return from the IL for Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The Friars placed Strahm on the IL on June 5 with a left rib strain and has made a prompt recovery in time to start the series opener in Coors Field. It's a tough matchup […]

Chris Paddack Optioned to Minors

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Chris Paddack has been optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday. This move is more to limit Paddack's innings than it is a real demotion. Paddack has struggled over his last few starts and the Padres want to make sure that he stays healthy. He should be back on the Padres roster […]

Wil Myers Sits Out on Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Myers is having a rough year at the plate and will take a seat here. Manuel Margot will draw the start in center field and bat ninth versus righty Shaun Anderson. Margot can go […]

Hunter Renfroe A "Popular" Trade Candidate

San Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe is garnering trade interest, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. While speculation is nothing unordinary for the 27-year-old slugger, Renfroe’s value has arguably never been higher. Previously projected as a platoon player against left-handed pitching with subpar defense, Renfroe has emerged this season with 18 homers and an .879 […]
