Eric Hosmer is Resting on Thursday

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals. This appears to be a routine day off for Hosmer against the left-handed starter. Wil Myers will cover first base and bat second versus lefty Patrick Corbin. Myers is not been reliable with the […]

The San Diego Padres activated shortstop prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. (hamstring) from the injured list on Thursday and optioned third baseman Ty France to Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 10)

It was a quiet week for prospect promotions and catcher Will Smith was the only position player who was promoted and stuck. He’s had some swing-and-miss to his game but he’s hitting .286 with a home run through his first 14 MLB at-bats. Jon Duplantier got another recall to The Show and was gifted with […]

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (hamstring) will rejoin the team on Thursday, and is expected to play at some point in the upcoming series against the Nationals.

Hunter Renfroe Not In Starting Lineup Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe is getting the day off Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Renfroe has become a more than useful fantasy contributor so far this season, smacking 17 bombs over 55 games. On the season, Renfroe is hitting .250/.301/.610 with 25 runs, 33 RBI and he's even chipped in three stolen bases, […]

Chris Paddack Takes One On The Chin

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack suffered his second consecutive loss, allowing five earned runs in 4 1/3 innings Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 23-year-old rookie yielded eight hits including five extra-base knocks while striking out four. Paddack was yanked after letting two runners on in the fifth and the bullpen promptly served up […]

The San Diego Padres placed starting pitcher Matt Strahm (rib) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a left rib strain and recalled starter Cal Quantrill from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

Dinelson Lamet Makes Second Rehab Start

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet (elbow) allowed a grand slam and five runs in his second rehab start for High-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday night, but his right elbow felt good. The right-hander will have at least one more rehab start at Elsinore before the Padres determine Lamet's next step in the rehab […]

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 10 - Buy or Sell?

Welcome to this week's Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Monday, June 3 (unless otherwise noted). Last week's risers had somewhat of a pessimistic outlook, which is countered somewhat by the first three risers discussed this week. The fallers, as usual, can be kind of upsetting to see (in a […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Report for Week 10

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Franmil Reyes Sparks Scuffling Friars Offense

San Diego Padres outfielder Franmil Reyes blasted his 17th home run Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Reyes’ solo shot in the fifth inning kicked off an eight-run surge for the scuffling Padres in the victory. The 23-year-old slugger is slashing a sturdy .247/.292/.559 with 55 runs-plus-RBI on the year and tied with fellow outfielder Hunter […]

Manny Machado Strokes Grand Slam

San Diego Padres shortstop Manny Machado crushed a grand slam in Monday’s victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Machado’s only hit of the contest capped a seven-run sixth inning and was his 10th long ball of the season. Machado has been steady in 2019 but not the superstar baseball fans are used to watching. Monday’s blast […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Singles, Steals, Walks Twice In Rehab Game

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (hamstring) went 1-for-3 with two walks and a steal in his first rehab game with Double-A Amarillo on Monday. Importantly, Tatis legged out a single to show his bum hammy could finally be an afterthought. The 20-year-old top prospect has been shelved since April 28. Prior to the […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. To Start Rehab Assignment Monday

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Amarillo on Monday. Tatis looked like everything he was hyped up to be during his 27 games in the majors this season, and with how scarce the production from the shortstop position is, he should be reinserted into your lineups […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. (OF, BOS) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: There is no getting around it. Jackie Bradley Jr. was an unmitigated disaster in April after coming into the season with an NFBC ADP of around pick #212 - right in the mix with Max Kepler, Franmil Reyes, and Ketel Marte. Bradley's April numbers […]

Hunter Renfroe Stings Two More Homers

San Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe crushed a pair of homers in Sunday’s loss to the Miami Marlins. Renfroe’s 16th and 17th homers qualified as garbage-time runs in a blowout but it’ll count the same on the scorecard. After three long balls over the weekend and six in his last 10 contests, Renfroe carries a […]

Matt Strahm Flops Against Fish

San Diego Padres starter Matt Strahm survived just 4 1/3 innings in Sunday’s loss to the Miami Marlins. In a chalk matchup, Strahm faceplanted, allowing seven earned runs on seven hits (two homers) while striking out five. Sunday’s outing marked the worst for the 27-year-old southpaw since his first start on April 1. His ERA […]

Luis Urias (2B, SD) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: In 72 AB at the MLB level, consensus top-30 prospect Luis Urias has been slow to accelerate with just two home runs and a steal to go with a less-than pedestrian .167/.256/.278 slash. That would definitely be a bummer, that is if he wasn't […]
