Blasts grand slam O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Tuesday's victory over the Brewers.
Impact O'Hearn electrified the crowd Tuesday with a first-inning grand slam off Bruce Zimmerman to put the Padres on top early. After a rough start to September, the slugger has locked back in, going 10-for-20 with eight RBI and a pair of extra-base hits across his past five games. While his post-deadline production has dipped to a .711 OPS since leaving the Orioles, O'Hearn's overall season has been strong, with a .276/.362/.435 line, 20 doubles, 17 homers and 62 RBI across 140 games.

Trio of RBI in three-hit attack O'Hearn went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's 7-3 win over the White Sox.
Impact It was the fourth three-RBI effort of the season by O'Hearn, who also knocked at least three hits for the seventh time in 2025. The All-Star slugger has found himself in quite the tailspin at the plate -- he has a .529 OPS in September -- though he doesn't appear to be in immediate danger of losing action as the designated hitter. Gavin Sheets, who's O'Hearn's main threat to playing time, has a .589 OPS this month.

Belts clutch homer Wednesday O'Hearn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-2 win against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
Impact O'Hearn was hitless in his first three at-bats, but he made up for that in a big way in his final plate appearance, belting a solo homer in the ninth inning to tie the score 2-2. The long ball was his first -- and just his second hit overall in 13 at-bats -- since he joined the Padres at the trade deadline. O'Hearn looks like he may not be given an everyday role with his new club, as he's started in just three of San Diego's six contests since getting dealt.
