Top Padres News

  • Padres' Matt Waldron: Ineffective in season debut

    Waldron (0-1) allowed six runs on eight hits, a walk and a hit batsman over 3.2 innings Friday, taking the loss versus the Angels. He struck out four.

    Waldron missed time due to hemorrhoid surgery in late February. The knuckleballer didn't have success in his major-league season debut as the Angels got to him in the second and fourth innings. The right-hander was limited to just one big-league start in 2025, allowing four runs over 4.2 innings, and he pitched to a 6.67 ERA over 82.1 innings across 18 starts with Triple-A El Paso last year. There's an opening in the Padres' rotation with Nick Pivetta (elbow) on the shelf, but it's not yet clear if Waldron will be the one to fill it on a permanent basis.

  • Padres' Miguel Andujar: Back to bench Friday

    Andujar is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Andujar will not make the start against right-hander Jose Soriano, as Ty France is getting the nod at first base, with Nick Castellanos at designated hitter. Andujar has been out of the lineup four of the last five games for the Padres.

  • Padres' Ramon Laureano: Not in lineup Friday

    Laureano is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Laureano has started 17 of the Padres' first 19 games but will get a breather for Friday's series opener against the Angels. With Laureano idle, Gavin Sheets is starting in left field, with Nick Castellanos at designated hitter and Ty France playing first base.

  • Padres' Freddy Fermin: Remains idle Friday

    Fermin (head) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Fermin will miss a second straight start after taking a foul tip off the mask Wednesday against the Mariners. Luis Campusano will make another start at catcher and bat ninth.

  • Padres' Alek Jacob: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

    He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Matt Waldron (lower body), who will start Friday's game versus the Angels after being activated from the injured list. Jacob had just been recalled earlier this week and turned in a scoreless outing in his lone appearance out of the bullpen.

  • Padres' Matt Waldron: Activated ahead of season debut

    The Padres activated Waldron (lower body) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

    Waldron is set to make his season debut Friday with a start on the road against the Angels. The knuckleballer got a late start to the season after having hemorrhoid surgery in late February, but he looked sharp in a rehab assignment at Triple-A El Paso, tossing 12 scoreless innings with a 12:1 K:BB. Waldron will have the opportunity to make additional starts for the Padres if he pitches well.

  • Padres' Adrian Morejon: Collects hold in Thursday's win

    Morejon secured a hold Thursday, working 1.2 perfect innings with two strikeouts in a 5-2 win over the Mariners.

    Morejon has had a bumpy start to the season after his All-Star campaign in 2025, when he pitched in 75 games and had career-best marks in ERA (2.08) and WHIP (0.90). The southpaw came into the season as the set-up guy for dominant closer Mason Miller and has three holds in eight appearances so far, but Morejon allowed at least one run in four of his first six outings. San Diego seems to still have faith in him, however, given he's been used in high-leverage situations each of his past two games.

  • Padres' Fernando Tatis: Plates two runs

    Tatis went 1-for-2 with two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Thursday's win over the Mariners.

    He plated two runs with a two-out single that scored both Luis Campusano and Jake Cronenworth as part of a four-run second inning for the Padres. Tatis has hit safely in seven of his last eighth starts, and the star outfielder has been the engine driving the Padres offense during that stretch. He's hitting .255 with a .642 OPS since the beginning of April, but during that eight-start stretch, he sports a .323 batting average with a .733 OPS.

  • Padres' Walker Buehler: Secures first win of season

    Buehler (1-0) earned the win Thursday against the Mariners, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven across five innings.

    Buehler has bounced back effectively after allowing four runs in 2.2 innings against the Red Sox on April 5. He's given up just two runs on eight hits with an impressive 11:1 K:BB across 11 innings over his last two home starts, with Thursday's seven strikeouts being a season high. Buehler is scheduled to make his next start on the road against the Rockies next week.

  • Padres' Mason Miller: Secures sixth save Thursday

    Miller pitched a scoreless inning and struck out the side Thursday against the Mariners to earn his sixth save of the season.

    Miller has yet to allow a run this season, and dating back to the 2025 campaign, he's now thrown 30.2 consecutive scoreless innings, sitting three shy of Cia Meredith's franchise record. The right-hander's allowed just one hit in 9.1 innings in 2026 and has struck out 10 of the last 12 batters he's faced. Miller's last blown save came Aug. 5 of last season, when he worked the eighth inning in front of Robert Suarez. His last blown ninth-inning chance came on June 19, while he was still with the A's.

  • Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Activated, optioned to Triple-A

    The Padres reinstated Song (oblique) from the injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A El Paso.

    Song landed on the injured list at the start of the regular season due to a right oblique strain but has been playing rehab games with El Paso since March 27. He's slashed .276/.364/.310 with 10 RBI and seven runs scored across 16 games during his assignment and will officially remain in the minors now that he's fully healthy.

  • Padres' Freddy Fermin: Not in Thursday's lineup

    Fermin (head) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Mariners.

    Fermin had to depart Wednesday's contest after taking a foul tip to the mask. Per Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, Fermin does not have concussion symptoms and expects to be available off the bench Thursday, though the Padres' team doctor will have the final say. Luis Campusano is catching and batting eighth for San Diego in Thursday's series finale.
