Tatis has played his own role within that as he and his fellow stalwarts in the...3259Tue, 23 Jun 2026 13:57:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-week-in-review-the-one-where-manny-machado-hit-a-big-homer-r3276/San Diego Padres Weekly Snapshot Record last week: 2-4 Runs scored last week: 24 Runs allowed last week: 24 (season run differential: minus-10)     Scores Game 71 (Monday): Cardinals 3, Padres 0 Game 72 (Tuesday): Cardinals 3, Padres 2 Gam...3276Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:07:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-rotating-cast-of-offensive-saviors-has-landed-on-a-new-leading-man-r3288/In a season in which Manny Machado, Jackson Merrill, and Fernando Tatis Jr. are performing far below expectations, the San Diego Padres have had to rely on a motley crew of journeymen. Miguel Andujar was the Padres’ best hitter in March and April (just don’t ask about May and June). Gavin Sheets...3288Mon, 22 Jun 2026 13:54:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/gavin-sheets-found-and-subsequently-lost-the-blueprint-to-success-r3285/Gavin Sheets has always possessed one trait that can change a game in an instant: the ability to impact the game with one swing. His combination of size, strength, and barrel control allows him to turn pitches that other hitters might only put in play into hard, productive contact. When he finds...3285Sun, 21 Jun 2026 16:05:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/jackson-merrills-power-is-starting-to-manifest-courtesy-of-breaking-balls-r3281/Despite being clear of the health woes that plagued him in 2025, Jackson Merrill has not been immune to the struggles of the collective San Diego Padres offense. In fact, he's largely been a driver of such struggles.  As he approaches his first 300 plate appearances of the season, Merrill c...3281Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:04:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/ty-frances-june-swoon-is-becoming-impossible-for-padres-to-ignore-r3269/From a distance, Ty France’s 2026 season does not look especially concerning. Through his first 154 plate appearances, the San Diego Padres first baseman owns a .245/.294/.434 slash line, has hit six home runs, and carries a 102 wRC+. Those are perfectly respectable numbers for a complementary h...3269Fri, 19 Jun 2026 13:54:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/overshadowed-by-mason-miller-adrian-morejon-is-an-entirely-different-force-to-reckon-with-r3266/The San Diego Padres have what is perhaps the most impressive pitcher in baseball in Mason Miller. At worst, they have its most impressive pitch in the form of his slider. But while his slider and obscene velocity compound to grab most of the narrative around the stability of the team's relief c...3266Thu, 18 Jun 2026 13:52:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-new-statcast-data-reveals-just-how-dominant-mason-miller-really-is-r3262/In Mason Miller, the San Diego Padres have the best relief arm in baseball coming out of their bullpen.  The wild thing is that the above sentiment isn't opinion. It's as objective an idea as possible considering his blend of velocity, strikeouts, and overall ability to prevent runs. As the...3262Wed, 17 Jun 2026 13:57:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/miguel-andujars-injury-offers-padres-a-chance-to-reset-expectations-r3270/Miguel Andujar seemed like a classic pickup for the San Diego Padres in the A.J. Preller era: an affordable journeyman who was brought in to lend the team one, specific skill. In this case, it was to hit left-handed pitching, and that’s exactly what he did in March and April. But like the rest o...3270Tue, 16 Jun 2026 13:53:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-week-in-review-fernando-tatis-jr-changes-vibes-with-walk-off-homer-r3073/San Diego Padres Weekly Snapshot Record last week: 4-2 Runs scored last week: 31 Runs allowed last week: 23 (season run differential: minus-10) Scores Game 65 (Monday): Padres 6, Reds 2 Game 66 (Tuesday): Reds 5, Padres 3 (11 innings) Game 67 (Wedne...3073Mon, 15 Jun 2026 16:08:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-have-hope-as-new-statcast-data-offers-optimism-around-manny-machado-r3261/In just about every way possible, the 2026 season has been Manny Machado's worst of his major-league career. The last time Machado even flirted with the threshold constituting an average hitter was 2017, well before he was a member of the San Diego Padres. This year has represented something muc...3261Mon, 15 Jun 2026 13:55:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/desperate-padres-might-as-well-lean-into-samad-taylors-skillset-r3260/As far as samples go, it's nearly impossible to glean anything from less than 20 plate appearances for a player. And that really goes for any point during the season, let alone the first 20. Samad Taylor, though, is providing a bit of intrigue through his minuscule sample for the San Diego Padre...3260Sun, 14 Jun 2026 16:09:01 +0000
