Despite an offense that continues to linger around the middle of the pack and a pitching staff racking up injuries but not innings, they’ve been hanging around with the Los...3184Mon, 25 May 2026 13:57:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/griffin-cannings-command-issues-are-real-though-padres-shouldnt-lose-faith-r3200/After suffering multiple injuries to their pitching staff early in the season, the San Diego Padres hoped Griffin Canning's return from the injured list would help round out the back of their rotation. However, after missing the second half of last season with a ruptured left Achilles, Canning h...3200Sat, 23 May 2026 14:04:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-are-somehow-surviving-the-failures-of-their-big-3-r3195/The May 18 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers is indicative of the 2026 Padres. Designated hitter Miguel Andujar hit a first-inning solo home run. Michael King, a potential first-time All-Star, pitched seven shutout innings, allowing just four hits and striking out nine. All-world relieve...3195Fri, 22 May 2026 13:57:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/gavin-sheets-is-elevating-his-contact-performance-r3196/To say that Gavin Sheets got off to a poor start here in 2026 might be overstating the situation. After all, he did finish April above the average threshold in wRC+ (110). For a San Diego Padres team starved for consistency on the offensive side, though, it was definitely an output that left som...3196Thu, 21 May 2026 13:53:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/3-padres-who-should-be-first-time-all-stars-in-2026-r3190/Even though he’s a closer, San Diego Padres' Mason Miller has a case to be the National League’s starting pitcher in the 2026 MLB All-Star Game in Philadelphia. His 1.4 fWAR this season is better than all but five starters, and his 0.86 ERA is worse than only Shohei Ohtani’s. Years from now, bas...3190Wed, 20 May 2026 13:58:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/jackson-merrills-early-struggles-have-multiple-root-causes-r3185/You could forgive Jackson Merrill for a sophomore slump in 2025. It would even be tough to label it such. The San Diego Padres' young star dealt with a variety of injuries seemingly from the jump, facing a hamstring strain, a concussion, and an ankle injury before the season reached its end, to...3185Tue, 19 May 2026 13:50:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-week-in-review-after-seattle-sweep-dodgers-are-next-r3175/San Diego Padres Weekly Snapshot Record last week: 4-2 Runs scored last week: 25 Runs allowed last week: 21 Standings     Scores Off Game 41 (Tuesday): Brewers 6, Padres 4 Game 42 (Wednesday): Padres 3, Brewers 1 Game 43 (Thurs...3175Mon, 18 May 2026 16:07:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-lack-of-speed-hasnt-stopped-their-steals-but-is-it-holding-back-their-offense-r3181/The San Diego Padres are not a fast baseball team when it comes to moving around the bases. Anyone who has watched Manny Machado sidle up the basepaths would not be surprised by that fact. But while Machado represents the most noticeable element of the team’s collective lack of speed, he’s hardl...3181Mon, 18 May 2026 13:54:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/what-padres-miguel-andujar-lacks-in-patience-he-makes-up-for-in-contact-r3186/Miguel Andujar has been one of the San Diego Padres’ most aggressive, but also one of their most valuable, hitters this season. He has drawn exactly three walks in 122 plate appearances and was sporting one of the highest chase rates of his career as the club opened a weekend series Friday...3186Sun, 17 May 2026 14:07:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/xander-bogaerts-improvements-are-the-result-of-one-hilariously-simple-root-cause-r3180/The San Diego Padres have largely continued to win baseball games despite an offense that has slowly worked its way from below average to more of a middling nature. While they continue to wait on the likes of Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jackson Merrill to become regular contributors to the cause, it’...3180Fri, 15 May 2026 13:50:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/ramon-laureano-suddenly-cant-turn-left-r3174/Very few players excel at everything. Sure, there are the Shohei Ohtanis and Bobby Witt Jr.s of the world who seemingly do it all, but the key to success for most players is that they do one thing extremely well and tread water everywhere else. Ramon Laureano was one of those players, and he sti...3174Thu, 14 May 2026 13:53:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/is-ethan-salas-suddenly-an-untouchable-prospect-again-for-the-padres-r3157/When Ethan Salas burst onto the Single-A scene as a 17-year-old back in 2023, it might’ve been easy to expect to see him playing home games at the top level for the San Diego Padres by now. Especially when he was up a level with Double-A San Antonio at the same age. Between injuries and subseque...3157Tue, 12 May 2026 13:57:02 +0000
