Juan Soto - Scratched with left calf tightness Soto was scratched from Monday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers with left calf tightness.
Impact Soto will be replaced by Taylor Kohlwey in the lineup. Kohlwey will hit seventh, while David Dahl will move up to the second spot against Los Angeles. The Padres have no reason to be anything but careful with one of the best offensive players in baseball, but this is obviously a potential concern for a player that is being drafted highly in eligible formats. There should be further update on Soto's status before the end of Monday.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - Making spring debut Tuesday Tatis (suspension) will serve as the Padres' designated hitter in Tuesday's Cactus League game versus the Giants, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Tatis will be making his spring debut in what marks his first game action at any level since he was handed an 80-game ban last August for violating MLB's performance-enhancing drugs policy. Less than a month later, Tatis underwent surgery to repair the labrum in his left shoulder, and he had an additional procedure on his left wrist in October. The 24-year-old has subsequently recovered from both surgeries and will be able to knock off some rust in spring training, but he'll still have to sit out the first 20 contests of the 2023 campaign while he completes his suspension. With the universal designated hitter now in place, Tatis could be eased back in when first eligible April 20 rather than stepping back into a full-time role in the field. During spring training, the Padres plan to have Tatis turn most of his defensive focus to right field, where he's expected to settle into a permanent spot following the Friars' offseason signing of shortstop Xander Bogaerts.

Juan Soto - Drives in five in Cactus League win Soto went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, two runs and five RBI in a Cactus League win over Arizona on Sunday.
Impact Soto was part of a ferocious San Diego offensive attack Sunday that resulted in 18 runs, including nine in the second inning. The superstar outfielder's loudest hit was a three-run home run in the fourth inning that gave the Padres a 14-2 lead. Soto had a bit of a down season with a .242/.401/.452 slash line across 663 plate appearances between Washington and San Diego last season, but advanced metrics suggest that he was was still among the best hitters in baseball, which could translate into a major bounce-back campaign in 2023.

Tommy Henry - Roughed up in spring debut Henry allowed five runs (four earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out two over 1.1 innings in Sunday's spring game against San Diego.
Impact Henry made it through the first inning, working around a two-out double, but was chased in the second frame after five of the first six batters reached base. That included a three-run home run allowed to Trent Grisham. Henry is part of a crew looking to win the fifth starter job.
