Impressing in spring play Hill has pitched two innings thus far this spring, allowing no runs on two hits and one walk while striking out six.
Impact Hill has improved his K/9 during each of his three big-league campaigns, starting at 8.3 in 2018 and building to 10.0 last season. The southpaw doesn't throw hard -- his fastball velocity averages just over 90 mph -- but he gets enough strikeouts and induces enough groundballs to be viewed as a valuable bullpen piece for the upstart Padres.

Enjoying standout spring Grisham has gone 3-for-9 with a home run, two doubles, three RBI, a stolen base and four walks thus far in Cactus League play.
Impact Grisham smacked his first homer of the spring against the Royals on Sunday, and each of his three hits thus far have gone for extra bases. He also leads the club with five runs scored in exhibition action. Grisham is penciled as the Padres' everyday center fielder following last season's strong debut campaign with the club.

Sharp in first spring start Darvish tossed two scoreless innings against Kansas City in a Cactus League contest Sunday, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out four.
Impact Darvish made quite a first impression in his first outing as a Padre, working around a single to strike out the side in the first inning. He then retired the first two batters he faced in the second before finishing his appearance with another strikeout. San Diego has yet to name its Opening Day starter, but Darvish figures to be the early favorite for the honor given his dominant campaign in 2020.

Hurls promising sim game Lamet (elbow) threw 20-25 pitches, including some sliders, and hit 98 mph in a simulated game Sunday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact This was Lamet's first time throwing sliders since he suffered an elbow injury in September last season. Provided he emerges from Sunday's session without setbacks, the right-hander could soon toe the mound in a Cactus League contest. It remains unclear whether Lamet will be ready to pitch by Opening Day, and the Padres have a deep enough rotation to allow the 28-year-old as much time as necessary to comfortably ease back into action.

Held back by blister Espinoza hasn't been throwing due to a blister on a finger on his right hand, but he could get into a game sometime next week, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact Espinoza is in camp looking to show that his stuff can still play following a pair of Tommy John surgeries that have kept him from pitching professionally since 2016. Fortunately, the blister issue is minor in comparison, and it appears that Espinoza isn't far away from making his spring debut. The right-hander will likely open the season in the lower levels of the minors.

Claimed by Padres Humphreys was claimed off waivers by the Padres on Saturday.
Impact Humphreys has had a very busy offseason. He began it in San Francisco but has since gone to Cleveland, back to San Francisco and now San Diego. It's quite a lot of movement for a player who has yet to pitch above High-A and is unlikely to make a significant major-league impact this season.

Placed on 60-day injured list Castillo (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Impact Castillo's placement on the injured list is simply procedural since he was recently diagnosed with a UCL tear that will require Tommy John surgery. As a result, he'll miss the entire 2021 campaign and could also be sidelined to begin 2022. The move will clear a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Jordan Humphreys, who was claimed off waivers in a corresponding move.

Available in relief Saturday Kela (forearm) is scheduled to pitch as a reliever in Saturday's spring game against the Dodgers, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Kela dealt with forearm tightness over the final month of the 2020 season, but he'll make his spring debut with his new club Saturday. Barring any setbacks, the right-hander will presumably be able to build up in time for Opening Day.

Breezes in Padres debut Musgrove tossed two perfect innings and struck out one batter during Friday's Cactus League contest versus San Francisco.
Impact In his exhibition debut with his hometown team, Musgrove needed only 18 pitches to make quick work of six batters. The right-hander is slotted to fill a back-end spot in a Padres rotation that, on paper, looks to be among the best in the league heading into the season.

Thriving in spring play Marcano has gone 4-for-8 with a home run and two RBI over five Cactus League contests.
Impact Marcano was added to the Padres' 40-man roster in November and is justifying that move thus far in the spring, tying for the team lead in hits and homers. The 21-year-old infielder has yet to play above the Low-A level and is certain to open the season in the minors despite his strong start this spring.
