They continue to sit within striking distance of the Los Angeles Dodgers atop the National League West and are still ahead of the field in the standings for the National League wild card. That continued success has not come re...3210Fri, 29 May 2026 13:50:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/lucas-giolito-providing-early-stability-for-padres-with-room-for-improvement-r3211/Lucas Giolito is not the pitcher he once was. The San Diego Padres are simply banking on him being better than he is right now. Giolito has made two starts for the Padres. He's thrown 10 innings and has posted a 2.70 ERA. Most important, at present, is the fact that he has a pair of wins to...3211Thu, 28 May 2026 13:54:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/the-mechanics-behind-mason-millers-modern-relief-masterclass-r3207/If you watch a San Diego Padres game this year, you'll note that closer Mason Miller makes major-league hitters look like they are playing on a broken video game simulator. Headlines are rightfully tracking his staggering 19.4 K/9 ratio across 8.1 innings in May. However, analyzing Miller purely...3207Wed, 27 May 2026 16:00:10 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/jackson-merrill-hasnt-found-love-in-the-heart-of-the-zone-r3204/The San Diego Padres improbably find themselves at 31-22 and keeping pace with the reigning champions in the National League West. It’s not that the Padres being one of the best teams in the league is wholly surprising; it is how they’ve gotten there that is. At the beginning of the season, if s...3204Wed, 27 May 2026 13:52:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-week-in-review-after-mason-miller-glitch-padres-bounce-back-but-miss-sweep-r3193/San Diego Padres Weekly Snapshot Record last week: 3-3 Runs scored last week: 16 Runs allowed last week: 17 Standings Scores Game 47 (Monday): Padres 1, Dodgers 0 Game 48 (Tuesday): Dodgers 5, Padres 4 Game 49 (Wednesday): Dodgers 4, Padres 0...3193Mon, 25 May 2026 23:57:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/the-padres-approach-to-their-rotation-looks-like-an-early-failure-r3184/Even as we reach the end of May, the San Diego Padres are, somewhat surprisingly, continuing to prove their meddle in 2026. 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 +0000
