Lucas Giolito Lucas Giolito Struggles continue in third loss
Sun, Jun 21, 2026, 5:53 PM
Giolito (2-3) took the loss Sunday against Texas, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out two.
Analysis: Working behind opener Wandy Peralta on Sunday, Giolito turned in one of his worst outings of the season. The 31-year-old right-hander matched a season worst in both hits and runs allowed, and he's now walked multiple batters in all but one of his first seven appearances on the year. Giolito, who has a 5.16 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and an alarming 18:23 K:BB over 29.2 innings, may not hold much fantasy appeal against a vaunted Dodgers lineup his next time out. |

Ty France Ty France Drawing sixth straight start
Sun, Jun 21, 2026, 1:12 PM
France will start at first base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Rangers.
Analysis: France will be awarded a sixth consecutive start after going 4-for-19 with three extra-base hits (two home runs, one double) and a walk over the previous five contests, but his path to regular playing time could become muddled during the upcoming week. Though he wasn't included in the lineup, Miguel Andujar (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Sunday and should settle back into an everyday role. Andujar's return would seem to leave France and Will Wagner most at risk of losing at-bats. |

Nick Solak Nick Solak Removed from 40-man roster
Sun, Jun 21, 2026, 1:07 PM
The Padres designated Solak for assignment Sunday.
Analysis: San Diego dropped Solak from the 40-man roster to open up a spot for Miguel Andujar (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Called up from Triple-A El Paso after Andujar landed on the IL on June 13, Solak appeared in four games and went 1-for-7 with a walk and an RBI during his one-week stay with San Diego. |

Miguel Andujar Miguel Andujar Makes return from IL
Sun, Jun 21, 2026, 11:49 AM
The Padres reinstated Andujar (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.
Analysis: San Diego designated Nick Solak for assignment to clear room for Andujar, who will be available off the bench for Sunday's series finale versus the Rangers. Andujar should eventually settle back into a near-everyday role after he had produced a .254/.288/.418 slash line with five home runs, two stolen bases, 17 RBI and 18 runs in 54 games prior to suffering a left hamstring strain June 13. |

Fernando Tatis Jr. Fernando Tatis Jr. Taking seat Sunday
Sun, Jun 21, 2026, 10:57 AM
Tatis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.
Analysis: Tatis will receive a day off after a run of 42 straight starts, during which he posted a .298/.357/.387 slash line with nine doubles, two homers, nine steals, 13 RBI and 20 runs scored. Sung-Mun Song is picking up a start at second base while Samad Taylor mans right field for the series finale in Texas. |

Wandy Peralta Wandy Peralta Opening again Sunday
Sun, Jun 21, 2026, 10:14 AM
Peralta will start Sunday's game against the Rangers as an opener.
Analysis: The left-hander fired a scoreless frame as an opener Monday against the Cardinals and will be called upon to fill that role in front of Lucas Giolito again Sunday. Peralta has a 1.96 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 24:18 K:BB over 36.2 innings. |

Lucas Giolito Lucas Giolito Likely to follow opener
Sun, Jun 21, 2026, 10:07 AM
Giolito won't start Sunday's game against the Rangers but could work behind opening pitcher Wandy Peralta.
Analysis: The Padres haven't made anything official regarding who will pitch after Peralta, but Giolito is a logical bet to work in bulk relief, given that he followed an opener in his previous outing back on Monday. The veteran right-hander hasn't exactly been reliable in six appearances for San Diego, as he has a 4.56 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 16:21 K:BB over 25.2 innings. |

Jackson Merrill Jackson Merrill Picking up pace on basepaths
Sun, Jun 21, 2026, 8:22 AM
Merrill went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two stolen bases Saturday in a 6-4 extra-inning win against Texas.
Analysis: Merrill twice got himself into scoring position by knocking a single and following with a stolen base, but San Diego couldn't drive him in either time. The 23-year-old has been using his speed more often of late -- he has four steals across his past six games following an 18-game stretch with no steals on only one attempt. Merrill has also been swinging the bat well, slashing .304/.319/.522 with five extra-base hits (including two homers) and seven RBI over his past 10 contests. |

Manny Machado Manny Machado Piles up five RBI on Saturday
Sat, Jun 20, 2026, 9:58 PM
Machado went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and five RBI in Saturday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Rangers.
Analysis: Machado matched a season high in RBI on Saturday, also tallying his 15th career game with at least five RBI. The 33-year-old third baseman is having a down year across the board in 2026, so fantasy managers are hoping Saturday's effort jump-starts his campaign. Through 306 plate appearances, Machado is slashing a weak .178/.256/.367 with 13 homers, 12 doubles, 41 RBI and 34 runs scored. |

Mason Miller Mason Miller Nails down save No. 20
Sat, Jun 20, 2026, 9:51 PM
Miller secured the save Saturday against the Rangers, allowing one unearned run on one hit and no walks in the 10th inning. He struck out two.
Analysis: Miller allowed the automatic runner in extra innings to score, but he held on for the save Saturday. The All-Star right-hander continues to put together a spectacular campaign, producing a 0.87 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 61:12 K:BB over 31 frames. Miller is a flawless 20-for-20 on save opportunities, leading the National League in this category. |

Walker Buehler Walker Buehler Strong month of June continues
Sat, Jun 20, 2026, 9:43 PM
Buehler took a no-decision Saturday against Texas, allowing one run on five hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out seven.
Analysis: Buehler tied a season high in punchouts Saturday, also matching his second-longest start of the season. The 31-year-old right-hander has been dealing on the mound particularly as of late, working at least 4.2 innings while yielding just one run in four consecutive outings during the month of June. Buehler has a solid 3.96 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 65:23 K:BB over 72.2 frames, but he's next lined up for one of his toughest tests of the year against the Dodgers. |

Gavin Sheets Gavin Sheets Homer, steal in loss
Fri, Jun 19, 2026, 11:00 PM
Sheets went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-7 loss to the Rangers.
Analysis: Sheets opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning before adding a solo blast in the eighth. The 30-year-old has gone deep twice in his past six games, though he's hitting just .195 through 15 June contests overall. On the season, he's slashing .230/.318/.456 with 12 homers, 32 RBI, 29 runs scored and four steals across 245 plate appearances. |

Ty France Ty France Monster performance in loss
Fri, Jun 19, 2026, 10:49 PM
France went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in Friday's 9-7 loss to the Rangers.
Analysis: France had Jacob deGrom's number, launching a grand slam in the first inning before adding a game-tying solo shot in the fourth. It was an unexpected effort for the 31-year-old, who entered the contest just 5-for-38 in June and without a homer since May 29. On the year, he's slashing .259/.306/.490 with eight long balls, 24 RBI, 17 runs scored and a stolen base across 158 plate appearances. |

Randy Vasquez Randy Vasquez Tagged early in loss
Fri, Jun 19, 2026, 10:45 PM
Vasquez (6-5) took the loss against the Rangers on Friday, allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and three walks with one strikeout over 3.1 innings.
Analysis: Vasquez was spotted a five-run lead in the top of the first inning but allowed six runs of his own in the bottom half of the frame. It marked the shortest outing of the season for the 27-year-old, and he's now yielded four earned runs or more in three of his past five outings. He owns a 4.17 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 59:25 K:BB across 77.2 innings this season and faces a tough home test against Atlanta next week. |

Bradgley Rodriguez Bradgley Rodriguez Moved to ACL
Fri, Jun 19, 2026, 5:04 PM
The Padres optioned Rodriguez to the Arizona Complex League on Friday.
Analysis: The Padres have been planning to get Rodriguez some time off to rest, per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune, so the team will send him all the way down to rookie ball while he does so. The 22-year-old righty owns a 2.10 ERA and 1.19 WHIP across 34.1 innings with the Friars this season, so he'll likely return to San Diego's bullpen once he's well rested. Mason Miller was activated from the bereavement list in a corresponding move. |

Mason Miller Mason Miller Reinstated from bereavement list
Fri, Jun 19, 2026, 5:01 PM
The Padres reinstated Miller from the Bereavement/Family Medical Leave List Friday.
Analysis: Miller will make his return to San Diego after being out since Monday. The Padres optioned Bradgley Rodriguez to the Arizona Complex League in order to make room for Miller on the active roster. Miller has been lights-out this campaign with a 0.90 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 59:12 K:BB through 30 innings of work. |

Ty Adcock Ty Adcock Outrighted to El Paso
Wed, Jun 17, 2026, 9:18 PM
Adcock cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A El Paso.
Analysis: Adcock was DFA'd by the Padres on Sunday to make room for Blake Hunt, but the former will officially remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 29-year-old has turned in a 7.15 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 11.1 innings between three of San Diego's minor-league affiliates this year, and he's likely to spend the vast majority of what's left of the season in the minors. |

Wed, Jun 17, 2026, 6:02 PM
Tatis went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Tatis drove in a run on a double in the fifth inning before adding an RBI single in the ninth. It continued a strong June for the 27-year-old, who's batting .344 with hits in 12 of 15 contests this month to go along with eight RBI, seven runs scored and four stolen bases. On the year, he's slashing .284/.348/.353 with two homers, 26 RBI, 28 runs scored and 18 steals across 314 plate appearances. |

Griffin Canning Griffin Canning Earns first win in bulk relief
Wed, Jun 17, 2026, 4:42 PM
Canning (1-5) earned the win against the Cardinals on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks with two strikeouts over 4.1 innings.
Analysis: Canning entered in the second inning and was actually the only Padres pitcher to allow a run, which came via a single in the fifth. The 30-year-old has opened June in uneven fashion, yielding one earned run in two of three outings with a seven-run blowup in between. Overall, he owns a 6.64 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 41:25 K:BB across 42 innings this season. With German Marquez (forearm) closing in on a return, it's unclear what Canning's role will be for his next turn. |

Jackson Merrill Jackson Merrill Fills stat sheet in win
Wed, Jun 17, 2026, 4:22 PM
Merrill went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Merrill put an exclamation point on a three-hit effort with a two-run homer in the ninth inning, notching a homer and a steal in the same game for the second time this season. The 23-year-old is showing some signs of life, going deep twice in his past five contests while tallying multiple hits in four of his past eight. On the season, he's slashing .213/.277/.358 with eight home runs, 30 RBI, 32 runs scored and 12 stolen bases across 294 plate appearances. |
