Victor Lizarraga allowed one run over five, then José Geraldo, Cole Paplham, Kevin Kopps, and Harry Gustin closed San Antonio’s 7–1 win.

Dungan opened the night with a double, advanced on a misplay at second, then scored on a double play for a 1-0 lead. El Paso added on in the third when Ripken Reyes walked, Dungan singled, and Yonathan Perlaza and Luis Campusano followed with RBI singles for a 3-0 cushion. Salt Lake rallied to tie in the fifth, but Dungan answered in the seventh. After Reyes reached, Dungan launched a two-run homer to right-center for a 5-3 edge. The Bees pulled even in the bottom half, setting the stage for extras. In the 10th, Dungan began at second as the zombie runner. Campusano reached on catcher interference, Tim Locastro pinch-ran, and after a flyout Mondou lined a single to right, scoring Dungan for the decisive run. In the bottom half, a wild pitch moved the Bees’ zombie runner to third, but Raul Brito ended it with a strikeout. Dungan went 3-for-4 with a double, a homer, two RBI, a walk, and four runs. Campusano was 2-for-4 with an RBI, Mondou went 2-for-5 with an RBI, Reyes scored twice, and Perlaza added an RBI single.

Pinales Deals Six, Ortiz Delivers, Wild Pitch In Eighth Lifts Missions Past Corpus Christi Box Score San Antonio rode strong pitching and small ball to a 3-2 win over Corpus Christi at Nelson Wolff Stadium. Enmanuel Pinales set the tone, working six innings with one run allowed on three hits, three walks, and six strikeouts. The Missions struck first in the second when Devin Ortiz singled, moved up on a double, then scored on Christopher Sargent’s sacrifice fly. After Francisco Acuna’s ejection in the top of the third, Wyatt Hoffman entered at second base and immediately made an impact. He walked, stole second, then scored on Ortiz’s two-out RBI single for a 2-0 lead. Ortiz finished 2-for-4 with an RBI. Corpus Christi cut it to 2-1 on a fourth-inning home run, but Pinales settled back in and handed off the lead. Ryan Och followed with 1 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing no hits with one walk. In the eighth, the Hooks threatened, but San Antonio answered. Braedon Karpathios walked, Romeo Sanabria singled, and Hoffman drew another walk to load the bases. After a force at the plate, a wild pitch brought Sanabria home for an insurance run and a 3-1 edge. Sanabria went 2-for-4 and scored, and Karpathios added a hit and a walk. Andrew Moore recorded the final 1 1/3 innings, allowing one run with two hits, two walks, and two strikeouts to earn the save. Damon Dues added two walks and a stolen base as San Antonio outlasted the Hooks in a tight finish. Verdugo Homers, Vastine And King Jr. Collect Two Hits As Fort Wayne Drops Laugher Box Score Fort Wayne dropped a 15-2 decision in West Michigan. Rosman Verdugo put the TinCaps on the board in the seventh with a solo homer to left center, then the club scratched out another run in the eighth when Jonathan Vastine singled, Eguy Rosario reached on an error, and Lamar King Jr. punched an infield single to score Vastine. Brendan Durfee followed by lining into a center-field double play to end the rally. The Whitecaps had pieced together two runs in the third and broke it open with nine in the fourth, then added four more in the sixth that included an inside-the-park home run to center. Fort Wayne opened the night with traffic as Rosario walked in the first, but West Michigan kept the TinCaps quiet until Verdugo’s blast. Vastine went 2-for-3 with a run, King Jr. finished 2-for-4 with an RBI, and Verdugo was 1-for-3 with a walk, a homer, and two runs created for the cause. Sam Whiting started for the TinCaps and took the loss, working 3 2/3 innings and allowing seven runs on five hits, with three walks and no strikeouts. C.J. Widger provided a solid bridge, delivering 1 1/3 innings with no runs, no walks, and one strikeout. Carlos Rodriguez Homers As Storm Fall To 66ers Box Score Carlos Rodriguez put Lake Elsinore on top with a two-out solo homer to right in the third, but the Storm dropped a 7-1 decision to Inland Empire at San Manuel Stadium. Lake Elsinore threatened immediately when Dylan Grego and Alex McCoy opened the game with singles, then executed a double steal, but the inning ended without a run. The 66ers answered with a game-tying double in the third, then moved ahead in the fifth when a bases-loaded walk forced in a run. Inland Empire broke it open with five in the seventh. The rally featured a leadoff triple, an RBI single, a fielder’s choice with a throwing error that plated two, a steal of second followed by another throwing error that allowed a run, and a sacrifice fly. Kannon Kemp started for the Storm and worked 4 1/3 innings, allowing two runs with three walks and four strikeouts, and he picked off a runner at first. Bernard Jose followed with two innings of relief, allowing one unearned run with no walks and four strikeouts. Kavares Tears doubled, and Grego, McCoy, and Yoiber Ocopio added singles. Rodriguez finished 1-for-4 with his fourth home run and the Storm’s lone RBI. Lake Elsinore tried to spark a ninth-inning push when an error extended the frame, and Ocopio’s single moved a runner to third, but a groundout ended it. The Storm totaled five hits on the night against the 66ers.

Jake Higginbotham and Ron Marinaccio steadied El Paso after Jackson Wolf’s start, but El Paso fell despite Tirso Ornelas and Nate Mondou fueling rallies. In San Antonio, Jagger Haynes opened with three scoreless before Fernando Sanchez delivered two clean frames; Anthony Vilar homered. Fort Wayne got Jack Costello’s 10th and a late RBI from Lamar King Jr., while Bodi Rascon and Luis Germán kept it close. Lake Elsinore saw Alex McCoy and Jorge Quintana homer. Padres Transactions No Roster Moves. El Paso Falls In Salt Lake Box Score After Salt Lake jumped ahead early, Tim Locastro ignited the fourth with a single, then reached second when Yonathan Perlaza got aboard on an error. Locastro stole third, Perlaza took second, and Tirso Ornelas pushed across a run with a groundout. In the fifth, Clay Dungan laid down a bunt single, stole second, and scored on a Marcos Castañon hit aided by a misplay. Nate Mondou kept El Paso moving in the seventh, lining a triple and scoring on Rodolfo Durán’s grounder. Luis Campusano and Ornelas strung together singles in the ninth, but the Bees closed it out. Locastro went 2-for-4 and swiped a bag, while Mondou’s triple was his fourth of the season. Castañon, Campusano, Ornelas, Ripken Reyes, and Mondou each added a hit as El Paso finished with eight. The Chihuahuas also turned two double plays, and Dungan joined Locastro and Perlaza with a stolen base. Jackson Wolf started for El Paso, working 3 2/3 innings with seven runs on six hits, three walks, and one strikeout. Jake Higginbotham followed and settled things down over 2 1/3 scoreless frames, allowing three hits with no walks and two strikeouts. Ron Marinaccio added a clean seventh with two strikeouts, and Francis Pena handled the eighth. Despite steady bullpen work, Salt Lake’s five-run fourth proved the difference, and the Bees’ early cushion held. Missions Held To One Hit Against Corpus Christi Box Score Anthony Vilar supplied San Antonio’s lone hit, launching a solo homer to right-center in the sixth, but the Missions fell 7-1 to Corpus Christi at Nelson Wolff Stadium. Vilar finished 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI. Kai Murphy drew a free pass and swiped second, which was almost all of the Missions’ offense on Wednesday night. The Hooks broke a scoreless game in the fifth, turning a leadoff triple into a five-run frame on a string of hits, a walk, and an RBI groundout, with a throwing error also aiding the rally. San Antonio’s defense was charged with three errors on the night, and a passed ball came earlier in the third. Corpus Christi tacked on two more in the seventh after a missed catch at first base opened the door, followed by a run-scoring double and a groundout that brought in another. San Antonio could not answer late and finished with two men left on base. Missions starter Jagger Haynes set the tone early, working three scoreless innings with two walks and three strikeouts. Jared Kollar followed and was tagged for seven runs, four earned, over three, walking one and striking out two. Fernando Sanchez provided a bright spot out of the bullpen, delivering two scoreless innings with two strikeouts and no walks. Costello’s 10th Homer, Wells’ RBI, And King Jr. Lead TinCaps’ Night Box Score A rain delay at LMCU Ballpark preceded a rough start for Fort Wayne, as West Michigan plated three in the first and three more in the second. The second inning turned when a fielding error extended the frame for the Whitecaps. Jack Costello jump-started the TinCaps in the second, launching his 10th home run to left. In the fourth, Lamar King Jr. walked, Costello singled, and Sean Barnett drew a free pass to load the bases. Kai Roberts lifted a sacrifice fly to get Fort Wayne within striking distance. Roberts later walked in the sixth but was picked off and caught stealing at second. Fort Wayne rallied in the seventh when Zach Evans walked, Luke Cantwell was hit by a pitch, and Kasen Wells punched an RBI single to left. In the ninth, Wells singled to center and King Jr. capped his night with a run-scoring double to center, trimming the deficit before the final out. Costello finished 2-for-5 with the homer, an RBI, and a stolen base. Wells went 2-for-5 with an RBI, King Jr. was 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI, and a walk, and Roberts added a hit, a walk, and an RBI. The TinCaps totaled seven hits. Starter Clark Candiotti worked 1 2/3 innings, allowing six runs, four earned, with two walks and three strikeouts. Bodi Rascon followed with 2 1/3 innings of one-run relief, walking two and striking out three, and Luis Germán delivered two scoreless frames with two walks and two strikeouts. McCoy And Quintana Go Deep, Not Enough In Big Loss To San Bernardino Box Score Lake Elsinore fell 13-4 to Inland Empire. In the fifth, Jorge Quintana opened the scoring for Lake Elsinore with a solo home run. Ryan Wideman followed with a single, then stole second and third before scoring on Truitt Madonna’s groundout to trim the deficit. The Storm kept pushing in the sixth. Dylan Grego lined a single, and Alex McCoy followed with a two-run homer, his sixth, to bring Lake Elsinore within two. Carlos Rodriguez added a double later in the frame. McCoy finished 2-for-4 with two RBI, Quintana went 1-for-4 with the homer, and Wideman went 1-for-2 with two steals and a run. Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a double, Ty Harvey drew two walks, and Bradley Frye added a hit as Lake Elsinore totaled seven. On the mound, starter Kash Mayfield worked 1 1/3 innings, allowing three runs, two earned, on four hits with no walks and two strikeouts. Cameron Nohos followed with 1 2/3 innings, giving up one run on three hits, with no walks and one strikeout. Clay Edmondson, Adam Conrad, Will Koger, and Justin DeCriscio also appeared. The infield turned a second-inning double play, Quintana to Dylan Grego to Madonna, to momentarily halt an Inland Empire rally, and Wideman’s two late-inning steals showcased the Storm’s aggressiveness, but the 66ers kept answering to pull away.

Another member of the Padres 2025 draft class, Salina was the team’s fourth-round pick out of St. Bonaventure. The Rochester, NY, native spent a year at George Mason before spending two seasons with the Bonnies. As a starter, he was touching 102 mph with his fastball and has a terrific slider. Unfortunately, he was limited to just four games in 2025 and had Tommy John surgery in April. That means he won’t pitch until the middle or late in 2026.

Balzer signed out of Japan in January of 2023. Instead of playing in the NPB, he signed in the States. However, soon after signing, he had Tommy John surgery. In 2024, he made six appearances in the ACL. Upon his return, he was throwing his fastball between 96 and 100 mph. His sinker sits 93-94 mph. He also has shown the makings of a solid changeup and slider/sweeper. This season in Lake Elsinore, he has pitched in 16 games and 50 innings. He is 1-6 with a 7.92 ERA and has 28 walks to go with 49 strikeouts. The upside is tremendous.

Coronil, 18, is one of eight players in our top 20 who made their professional debuts in 2025. The Venezuela native was a highly sought-after January international free agent. San Diego landed him with a $900,000 signing bonus. MLB.com ranked him 35th in its international prospects top 50. A few months after signing, he saw regular action with Padres Gold in the Dominican Summer League. A big part of his appeal is his reputation as an elite fielder. MLB.com has already assigned him a 65 field grade on the 20-to-80 scouting scale. His four errors in 14 games at shortstop and eight errors in 27 games at third base last year look like the work of a young player at the start of his pro career. His arm, run and hit grades are listed at 50 each, and his power grade is 35. The slug could emerge once he grows into his body; he's listed as 6-3 and 162 pounds. And his running grade might be a bit low after his 8-for-8 on steal attempts. The Padres are famous for rushing young prospects through their system, but they might need to be patient with Coronil after a middling debut.

Acquired along with left-handed starter Nestor Cortes for outfielder Brandon Lockridge at the 2025 trade deadline from the Milwaukee Brewers, Quintana was the No. 12 prospect in the 2024 international signing class by MLB Pipeline. He signed with the Brewers for $1.7 million as the headliner of a class in which Milwaukee also signed Jesus Made and Luis Pena. Quintana hasn't had the meteoric rise that his former teammates have experienced, but remember that he doesn't turn 19 until April 5. He was slashing .264/.349/.403 in 50 games in the Arizona Complex League at the time of the trade and then was assigned to Low-A Lake Elsinore, where he had a .193/.317/.265 slash line in 25 games. He had a combined four homers and 26 stolen bases between the two stops. A switch-hitter who has played shortstop and third base, Quintana is expected to develop power as his body matures (6-foot-2, 183 pounds). With his size, speed, and power potential, Quintana would become a high-end shortstop prospect if his offense develops. All would still play at third base, but that is less of a premium position. Lake Elsinore will probably be his starting point in 2026, but a trip to Fort Wayne is likely at some point during the season.

Eric Yost spun six one-run innings as San Antonio fell in extras; Garrett Hawkins added 1 2/3 scoreless in relief. El Paso rallied behind Tirso Ornelas and Nate Mondou, and Stephen Jones earned the save. Eguy Rosario doubled twice and drove in three for Fort Wayne, while Johan Moreno and Josh Mallitz combined for 4 1/3 scoreless. Lake Elsinore leaned on Carlos Rodriguez and Dylan Grego, with Jaxon Dalena and Landry Jurecka keeping it even. Padres Transactions Placed RHP Jason Adam on the 15-day injured list (left quadriceps). Recalled RHP Alek Jacob from Triple-A El Paso. Eighth-Inning Blast, Ninth-Inning Rally Lift Chihuahuas Past Bees Box Score Salt Lake built a six-run cushion by the third, but El Paso kept chipping away. Tirso Ornelas sparked the comeback with a solo homer in the fourth, then the Chihuahuas put up four in the fifth on a Luis Campusano RBI single, an Ornelas double, and a two-run knock from Nate Mondou. In the sixth, Tim Locastro singled and Ripken Reyes reached on a bunt and an error, Clay Dungan shot a two-run single up the middle to tie it, stole second, and Yonathan Perlaza doubled him home for an 8-7 lead. The Bees answered to even it in the sixth, then Salt Lake tied it again in the eighth. Campusano delivered late, lifting a solo homer in the eighth for a 9-8 edge. After the Bees pulled even again, El Paso finished the job in the ninth. Locastro doubled, pinch-hitter Rodolfo Durán ripped an RBI double to center, and Perlaza lined an insurance single to left for an 11-9 final. Campusano went 2-for-5 with two runs, a homer, two RBI, and a walk. Ornelas added a homer, a double, two runs, and two RBI, and Perlaza doubled, singled, and drove in two. Dungan scored twice, reached three times, and swiped a bag. Starter Matt Waldron worked five, allowing seven runs on nine hits, with one walk and four strikeouts. Bradgley Rodriguez handled the eighth with one inning, one run, one walk, and one strikeout, and Stephen Jones closed the ninth with one scoreless inning for the save. Yost Fires Six, Gómez Ties It, Missions Drop Close One In Extras Box Score San Antonio dropped a 2-1, 10-inning decision to Corpus Christi at Nelson Wolff Stadium. Eric Yost set the tone with six strong innings, allowing one unearned run on four hits, walking two, and striking out six. The Missions fell behind in the first, then chipped away and finally pulled even in the middle frames. Moisés Gómez got things going with a second-inning double, but the scoring breakthrough arrived in the sixth. After Damon Dues drew a walk and Devin Ortiz singled, Braedon Karpathios worked a free pass to load the bases. Gómez grounded into a force at second, Dues crossed the plate, and San Antonio leveled the game at 1-1. Out of the bullpen, Garrett Hawkins delivered 1 2/3 scoreless innings with one walk and two strikeouts. Harry Gustin followed with 2 1/3 innings, allowing one run, no walks, and three strikeouts. The Hooks pushed across the zombie runner with a two-out double in the tenth to take the lead. The Missions mounted a final charge in their half of the tenth. With the zombie runner at second, Christopher Sargent punched a single to center to put runners on the corners. After a popout, Sargent swiped second, but a lineout ended the threat and the night. Ortiz led the lineup at 2-for-4. Gómez finished 1-for-4 with an RBI, Dues scored and walked twice, and Romeo Sanabria added a single. Rosario’s Two Doubles, Durfee’s Homer Highlight TinCaps In West Michigan Box Score Fort Wayne fell 8-5 at West Michigan, but Eguy Rosario powered the TinCaps’ offense with two run-scoring doubles and three RBIs. After the Whitecaps jumped ahead with a three-run first, Fort Wayne answered in the second. Zach Evans and Kai Roberts singled, and Rosario shot a two-run double to left to cut the deficit to one. Brendan Durfee kept the push going in the third, driving a pitch to right for a solo homer. The Whitecaps added on in the third and fifth, and a fifth-inning two-run swing pushed the margin to 7-3. In the seventh, Roberts lined a single, stole second, moved to third on a groundout, and scored on a wild pitch. The TinCaps added one more in the ninth when Rosario ripped his second double of the night to score Evans, bringing the final to 8-5. Rosario finished 2-for-5 with two doubles and three RBIs. Roberts went 2-for-4 with two runs and a stolen base, and Evans was 2-for-4 with two runs. Durfee went 1-for-3 with a walk and a homer. Starter Ian Koenig worked five innings, allowing seven runs on eight hits, with two walks and three strikeouts. Nick Wissman followed with two innings, striking out three without a walk. Ruben Galindo recorded one inning with one run allowed, three walks, and two strikeouts. Quintana’s Sac Fly, Carlos Rodriguez’s Three Hits Not Enough As Storm Fall In Extras Box Score Lake Elsinore jumped ahead in the first at San Manuel Stadium. Carlos Rodriguez singled, then after a walk and an error loaded the bases, a wild pitch brought Rodriguez home for a 1-0 lead. In the fourth, Ty Harvey drew a walk and moved to third on Truitt Madonna’s single, setting up Jorge Quintana’s sacrifice fly for a 2-1 advantage. Inland Empire pulled even in the fifth on a triple to right. The Storm had more chances, but the score was locked going into extras. In the tenth, the 66ers advanced the zombie runner with a bunt, then ended it with a sacrifice fly. Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with a run scored.
