At first glance, it’s not the most intimidating pitch in his arsenal. Averaging 82.4 mph with modest spin and a few statistic...2521Thu, 17 Jul 2025 13:58:00 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/anatomy-of-an-at-bat-jason-adam-makes-the-most-out-of-a-terrible-matchup-in-the-all-star-game-r2530/Coming into the 2025 All-Star Game with five different representatives, San Diego was poised to make their mark on this year's mid-summer classic. Unexpectedly, the lone Padres highlight of the night came from the player who participated in just one at-bat.  Star reliever Jason Adam was giv...2530Thu, 17 Jul 2025 01:17:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/back-to-earth-in-july-was-xander-bogaerts-strong-june-anything-more-than-luck-r2518/Wherever they may be, it's clear that the baseball gods have chosen not to favor the San Diego Padres since the middle of May. After a blazing start to the year, they finished that month 13-13 before turning in a 13-15 June. As of this writing, they're off to a 4-3 start in July. It's been a goo...2518Sat, 12 Jul 2025 13:51:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/yu-darvishs-stuff-remains-intact-as-he-makes-his-return-for-san-diego-padres-r2512/It took a few months of a rather murky timeline, but Yu Darvish finally made his 2025 debut for the San Diego Padres on Monday night. The 38-year-old fought elbow inflammation during the spring exhibition slate that cost him over half the year. The Padres were content to let Darvish largely hand...2512Thu, 10 Jul 2025 13:51:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/is-the-twins-ryan-jeffers-the-padres-cure-at-catcher-r2515/By virtue of Manny Machado's 2,000th hit, July 7th, 2025, is a day that will go down in Padres' history. It will also hopefully represent the day that the straw broke the camel's back with regard to San Diego's current catching situation. It's no secret that the tandem of Martin Maldonado a...2515Thu, 10 Jul 2025 01:10:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/did-sunday-night-show-fernando-tatis-jr-is-finally-ready-to-turn-a-corner-r2509/The San Diego Padres won a game and, subsequently, a series against the Texas Rangers on Sunday evening. That, in itself, is a positive given how things have gone for the last month-and-a-half. More important, though, was the role that Fernando Tatis Jr. played in the win.  We've discussed...2509Wed, 09 Jul 2025 13:54:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/san-diego-padres-hitters-of-the-month-june-2025-r2511/For the first time in 2025, the San Diego Padres posted a record below .500 in a month. Their winning percentage has dipped each successive month of the season, culminating in the 13-15 record they posted in June. If the Padres are to turn the tide, they'll need their offense to pick up the...2511Tue, 08 Jul 2025 15:15:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-rumors-reese-mcguire-could-be-sneaky-target-at-mlb-trade-deadline-r2507/With just a few weeks to go until Major League Baseball's trade deadline on July 31, it's difficult to project exactly where the San Diego Padres will stand when the smoke clears.

Preller finds himself with a team that has been middling since May and limited res...2507Tue, 08 Jul 2025 13:50:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-week-in-review-all-stars-a-walk-off-everything-in-between-r2508/Weekly Overlook: Record: 3-3 (48-41 overall) Runs Scored: 18  Runs Allowed: 23 Standings: 2nd in NL West, 7.0 GB LAD Game 84 (6/30) | PHI 4, SD 0  Game 85 (7/2) | SD 6, PHI 4 Game 86 (7/2) | PHI 5, SD 1 Game 87 (7/4) | SD 3, TEX 2 Game 88 (7/5) | TEX 7, SD 4 Game 89 (7/6)...2508Mon, 07 Jul 2025 15:11:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-anatomy-of-an-inning-fourth-of-july-fireworks-r2506/The stakes of Friday night's game in San Diego against the Texas Rangers felt just a bit higher than usual. The Padres sat 0.5 games ahead of their wild card competition, and with the energy of a packed stadium on the Fourth of July, the squad needed to come out on top.  The battle entered...2506Mon, 07 Jul 2025 13:55:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/san-diego-padres-minor-league-relief-pitchers-of-the-month-june-2025-r2498/June was a strong month for relief arms throughout the Padres' minor league system, with multiple relievers posting zeros and locking down wins in high-leverage spots.

With 1,994 hits going into Wednesday's doubleheader, he continues to be one of the more impactful hitters across the landscape of Major League B...2495Fri, 04 Jul 2025 14:01:02 +0000
