The San Diego Padres' closer rode that pitch and its 99th percentile velocity to 36 saves and a 2.77 ERA. Fine outcomes at the back of the bullpen, to be sure. Ideally, you'd like at least a little variety out of your relief arms. Su...2401Tue, 06 May 2025 18:16:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-injury-update-jackson-merrill-jake-cronenworth-nearing-return-yu-darvish-making-progress-r2400/The San Diego Padres have done incredible work to keep the ship afloat as they deal with numerous early season injuries to their star players.

Even with the return of Luis Arráez, there's a level of impact that will remain absent from the lineup for the foreseeable future, given that they are still without Jackson Merrill and Jake Cronenworth indefinitely.  That's le...2398Fri, 02 May 2025 15:35:37 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/san-diego-padres-pitcher-of-the-month-march-april-r2397/Unlike the hitting side of things, there's a number of arms we can acknowledge as the March/April Pitcher of the Month for the San Diego Padres. While the positional side has been decimated by injuries, the pitching staff has held it together. It hasn't been perfect (given some struggles in the...2397Thu, 01 May 2025 15:19:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/san-diego-padres-hitter-of-the-month-march-april-r2396/Is this even a question? With the month of April coming to a close, it's time to examine the San Diego Padres' most impressive player on the positional side. Given the rash of injuries the team has experienced in recent weeks, however, it leaves us with fairly slim pickings.  Jackson Me...2396Wed, 30 Apr 2025 13:52:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/injuries-taking-their-toll-on-the-padres-offense-r2395/Turns out, it's a lot harder to score runs when roughly half your lineup is on the injured list. Even home cookin' isn't enough for the San Diego Padres these days. The team that started 12-1 at the friendly confines of Petco Park endured their first sweep of the season over the weekend...2395Mon, 28 Apr 2025 15:10:00 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-optioning-of-kyle-hart-became-unavoidable-presents-new-but-familiar-issues-r2394/A four-man rotation it is, apparently. On Friday, the San Diego Padres announced that they've optioned starting pitcher Kyle Hart to Triple-A. Hart will ply his trade with the El Paso Chihuahuas for at least the next few weeks. With a rash of injuries limiting the team's ability to replace h...2394Sat, 26 Apr 2025 15:18:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/the-padres-are-baseballs-best-home-team-but-their-road-woes-are-concerning-r2392/Home is where the heart is bats are. The San Diego Padres remain off to a scorching first-place start. As of 4/23, they sit at 17-7 to start the season with a +35 run differential that comes in as the second-best in the league.
