Wandy Peralta Added to NLDS roster
Tue, Oct 6, 2026, 7:57 PM
The Padres added Peralta to their NLDS roster Tuesday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Peralta will join San Diego's NLDS roster as a temporary replacement for Mason Miller, who was placed on the postseason paternity list Tuesday. If the Padres extend the series long enough to allow Miller to return, Peralta would be forced back off the roster.
Mason Miller
Mason Miller Placed on paternity list
Tue, Oct 6, 2026, 7:54 PM
The Padres placed Miller on the postseason paternity list Tuesday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Miller will be permitted to spend no more than three days away from the team while he welcomes a new addition to his family, and he'll be allowed to rejoin the active roster immediately upon returning if San Diego is able to extend the series. In the meantime, the Padres will add Wandy Peralta to their NLDS roster to replace Miller in the bullpen.
Gavin Sheets
Gavin Sheets Late scratch Tuesday
Tue, Oct 6, 2026, 6:19 PM
Sheets was scratched from the lineup for Game 3 of the NLDS against Milwaukee on Tuesday due to neck stiffness.
Analysis: Sheets will step out of the starting nine Tuesday as he tends to his neck but will be available off the bench, suggesting that his injury isn't serious. Samad Taylor will fill in as San Diego's designated hitter and bat eighth.
Luis Campusano
Luis Campusano Out of Game 3 lineup
Tue, Oct 6, 2026, 4:05 PM
Campusano is not in the lineup Tuesday for Game 3 of the NLDS versus the Brewers.
Analysis: Campusano started at designated hitter in Game 1 and at catcher in Game 2, reaching base twice in both contests. However, he will begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. The Padres will roll out Ethan Salas at catcher and Gavin Sheets at DH as they try to stave off elimination.
Randy Vasquez
Randy Vasquez Booted off NLDS roster
Mon, Oct 5, 2026, 2:54 PM
The Padres removed Vasquez from their NLDS roster Monday.
Analysis: Vasquez was added to the roster as a replacement for Walker Buehler (personal), who was on paternity leave. With Buehler back in tow, Vasquez will exit the roster. Vasquez did not make an appearance during the first two games of the series.
Walker Buehler
Walker Buehler Back from paternity leave
Mon, Oct 5, 2026, 2:48 PM
The Padres activated Buehler from the paternity list Monday.
Analysis: Buehler was away for the first two games of the series but will be back on the roster as the series shifts to San Diego for Game 3 on Tuesday. The veteran right-hander is a candidate to start Game 4, if needed. Buehler logged a 4.63 ERA and 131:57 K:BB over 153.2 innings covering 32 starts this season for the Padres.
Gavin Sheets
Gavin Sheets Late addition to lineup
Sun, Oct 4, 2026, 2:59 PM
Sheets was added to San Diego's lineup for Game 2 of the NLDS at Milwaukee on Sunday, batting sixth as the designated hitter.
Analysis: Sheets was originally poised to sit for a fourth straight game to begin the playoffs, but manager Craig Stammen chose to make a late lineup change. Ethan Salas was initially listed as the designated hitter before ultimately being a healthy scratch.
Ethan Salas
Ethan Salas Healthy scratch Sunday
Sun, Oct 4, 2026, 2:31 PM
Salas was scratched from the lineup for Game 2 of the NLDS against the Brewers on Sunday as a manager's decision.
Analysis: The rookie backstop was initially penciled in to serve as the designated hitter Sunday after starting behind the plate in Game 1 and going 1-for-3 with a run scored, but manager Craig Stammen has instead elected to start Gavin Sheets. Salas is healthy and will be available off the bench.
Gavin Sheets
Gavin Sheets Not starting Game 2
Sun, Oct 4, 2026, 12:53 PM
Sheets is out of the lineup for Game 2 of the NLDS against the Brewers on Sunday.
Analysis: It's the fourth straight game on the bench for the lefty-hitting Sheets, with the last three coming against right-handed starting pitchers. The 30-year-old clubbed a pinch-hit, two-run homer in Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series versus the Cubs but is still searching for his first start of the playoffs. Ethan Salas worked behind the plate in Saturday's series opener while Luis Campusano served as the DH, and the two will switch roles Sunday.
Nick Pivetta
Nick Pivetta Tapped for Game 3
Sun, Oct 4, 2026, 12:34 PM
Pivetta is scheduled to start Game 3 of the NLDS against the Brewers on Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Analysis: The 33-year-old pitched in Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series versus the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing a run on three hits with four strikeouts and two walks over 3.1 innings. Since returning from a flexor strain in early September, Pivetta has a 1.64 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 22:4 K:BB across 22 frames in five games, including the playoff start.
Gavin Sheets
Gavin Sheets Sitting to begin Game 1
Sat, Oct 3, 2026, 3:37 PM
Sheets isn't in the lineup Saturday for Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Brewers.
Analysis: Sheets will retreat to the dugout against a right-hander for the second game in a row Saturday, allowing Luis Campusano to work as San Diego's designated hitter.
Randy Vasquez
Randy Vasquez Temporarily joins NLDS roster
Sat, Oct 3, 2026, 11:35 AM
Vasquez was added to the Padres' NLDS roster Saturday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Vasquez will be filling in for Walker Buehler, who was placed on the postseason paternity list Saturday. Once Buehler returns, Vasquez will have to be removed from the Friars' roster.
Walker Buehler
Walker Buehler Away on paternity leave
Sat, Oct 3, 2026, 11:27 AM
The Padres placed Buehler on the postseason paternity list Saturday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Buehler will be allowed to miss up to three days while he welcomes a new addition to his family, and he'll be eligible to rejoin the Padres' NLDS roster immediately upon returning. In the meantime, Randy Vasquez will replace Buehler on San Diego's pitching staff.
Robbie Ray
Robbie Ray Taking ball in Game 1
Fri, Oct 2, 2026, 3:35 PM
The Padres will start Ray in Game 1 of the NLDS against the Brewers on Saturday.
Analysis: With Michael King and Nick Pivetta making starts in the Padres' wild-card series victory over the Cubs, Ray was the obvious choice to take the ball in the lid-lifter versus the Brewers. Ray struggled in nine starts after landing in San Diego at the trade deadline, posting a 5.02 ERA and 33:27 K:BB over 43 frames.
Roel Ramirez
Roel Ramirez Inks minors deal with Padres
Fri, Oct 2, 2026, 2:53 PM
The Padres signed Ramirez to a minor-league contract Thursday.
Analysis: Ramirez spent the 2026 season pitching for the Toros de Tijuana of the Mexican League, logging a 1.76 ERA and 63:9 K:BB over 46 innings. The 31-year-old reliever hasn't seen any action at the major-league level since 2021.
Nick Pivetta
Nick Pivetta Lasts 3.1 frames in win
Thu, Oct 1, 2026, 11:19 AM
Pivetta didn't factor in the decision in Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Cubs on Wednesday. He allowed one run on three hits with four strikeouts and two walks over 3.1 innings.
Analysis: The right-hander wasn't particularly sharp as he threw just 36 of 66 pitches for strikes, but all three hits he gave up were singles as he limited Chicago to a single run. Pivetta missed most of the season after suffering a flexor strain in mid-April, but he returned from the IL in early September and posted a 1.45 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB across four starts to close out the regular season. He now tentatively lines up to take the mound in the NLDS versus the Brewers, potentially in Game 3 on Tuesday.
Gavin Sheets
Gavin Sheets On bench for Game 2
Wed, Sep 30, 2026, 6:25 PM
Sheets isn't in the lineup Wednesday for Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Cubs.
Analysis: Sheets will step out of the starting nine despite Chicago sending right-hander Kevin Gausman to the mound to begin Wednesday's contest. Sheets' absence will allow Austin Hays to work as San Diego's designated hitter while batting eighth.
Michael King
Michael King Flirts with no-hitter in Game 1
Wed, Sep 30, 2026, 11:47 AM
King earned the win in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Cubs on Tuesday. He gave up one hit with eight strikeouts and three walks over seven shutout innings.
Analysis: The right-hander held Chicago without a hit until the seventh inning, when Nico Hoerner reached on an infield single down the third-base line. It was an electric performance from King, who threw 62 of his 97 pitches for strikes while generating 17 whiffs. The 31-year-old surrendered five runs against the Dodgers during his final start of the regular season, but it was still a productive campaign with a 3.21 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 159:70 K:BB across 185 innings. If the Padres can win one of the next two games to push past the Cubs, King will likely start Game 2 of the NLDS in Milwaukee.
Rodolfo Duran
Rodolfo Duran Recalled, placed on 60-day IL
Tue, Sep 29, 2026, 3:52 PM
The Padres recalled Duran from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a right forearm strain.
Analysis: The transaction was made in order to free a spot on the 40-man roster for Joe Musgrove (elbow), who was activated from the 60-day IL. Duran should recover from his forearm injury well ahead of spring training.
Joe Musgrove
Joe Musgrove Included on Padres' playoff roster
Tue, Sep 29, 2026, 11:47 AM
The Padres activated Musgrove (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Musgrove has not pitched in a major-league game in nearly two full years. He had Tommy John surgery in October 2024, had a setback during spring training and was then slowed earlier this month because he was having difficulty recovering in between rehab starts. However, Musgrove was never shut down from throwing, and he's made enough progress to convince the Padres to include him on their roster for their NL Wild Card Series against the Cubs. Musgrove will be available in a relief role.
