Ian Kinsler Goes Yard Friday

San Diego Padres second baseman Ian Kinsler went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Miami Marlins. The dinger was the veteran’s seventh of the season to go along with 31 runs-plus-RBI.

Hunter Renfroe Keeps On Mashing

San Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe launched his 15th homer of the season Friday against the Miami Marlins. Renfroe provided insurance with his fourth inning solo blast and also gathered a walk in three plate appearances before being lifted for defensive purposes. The 27-year-old slugger is slashing a marvelous .253/.299/.599 with 53 runs-plus-RBI. He’s also […]

Joey Lucchesi Takes Care Of Business

San Diego Padres starter Joey Lucchesi continued his impressive streak Friday, firing 6 1/3 frames of one-run ball against the Miami Marlins.

Sauceda's Slants: Buy Low Report - 8 Hitters to Target

There’s something positively blissful about scanning your rosters and seeing double-digit — or *gasp* single-digit! — ranks up-and-down the roster. But let’s be clear: these stats are in the past. They’re already banked. They shouldn’t overpower our valuation of them going forward because, really, that’s all that matters — what are they likely to produce […]

Wil Myers Hitting Leadoff Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers is in left field and is hitting leadoff on Wednesday against Yankees left-handed starter James Paxton. Both Greg Garcia and Josh Naylor will sit the bench against the southpaw. Manuel Margot draws into center field and will hit ninth, making him one to fade in DFS. Myers has struggled […]

San Diego Padres outfielder Franchy Cordero (elbow) and starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet (elbow) will both start rehab assignments this week, with Lamet beginning on Wednesday at High-A Lake Elsinore.

Eric Lauer Rolls Against Yankees

San Diego Padres starter Eric Lauer lasted 5 1/3 strong innings Tuesday against the New York Yankees to collect his fourth victory.
