Jackson Merrill - Homers, swipes bag Saturday Merrill went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base in a 3-2 win against Houston on Saturday.
Impact Merrill plated the Padres' first run on a bases-loaded fielder's choice in the first inning. He added a 421-foot solo shot to center field in the third. The 23-year-old has been hot to begin August, batting .344 (11-for-32) with two homers, nine RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases through eight games. Merrill is still batting a modest .242 on the season, but he's faring much better with a .333 mark and seven of his 18 homers across 22 games since the All-Star break.

Mason Miller - Survives for save Saturday Miller earned a save against Houston on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit while striking out one batter over one inning.
Impact Miller had a two-run lead to work with when he entered in the ninth inning, and he quickly brought the tying run to the plate when he hit the first batter of the frame (Christian Walker). The All-Star closer moved Walker to second with a wild pitch and surrendered a two-out RBI single to Yandy Diaz but retired Lamonte Wade Jr. on a groundout to finish off the save. The earned run Miller allowed was just his fifth of the campaign through 49.1 frames, resulting in a sterling 0.91 ERA. He's converted 29 of 30 save opportunities and has registered a dominant 91:16 K:BB.

Michael King - Stifles Houston in victory King (7-8) earned the win over the Astros on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out six batters over six innings.
Impact King surrendered a second-inning Taylor Trammell solo homer, but that was the only time Houston scored against him. The right-hander finished with his 11th quality start of the season and snapped a four-outing winless stretch. King also had his swing-and-miss stuff working, racking up 15 whiffs on 93 pitches. Though he holds a 7-8 record, King has provided much-needed consistency to a San Diego rotation that has been beset by injuries and poor performances -- he leads the team's starters in just about every major category, including ERA (3.37), WHIP (1.17), strikeouts (114) and innings pitched (136.1).

Impact Vasquez will be called upon to make his 19th start of the season for Sunday's series finale against Houston. The 27-year-old started Tuesday against Arizona, recording six scoreless innings while striking out one. On the campaign, the right-hander owns a 7-6 record, 4.19 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 65:31 K:BB through 101 innings.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - Reaches double-digit homers Tatis went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Friday in a loss to the Astros.
Impact Tatis brought the Padres to within a run with his 400-foot blast to left field in the fifth inning. The long ball was his second over his past three games and his 10th of the campaign. That's far off the pace Tatis has established in previous seasons, though it should be remembered that he failed to hit a homer until his 56th contest this season. Since that initial home run, he's belted 10 long balls across 60 games, adding 34 RBI, 12 stolen bases and a .291/.355/.494 slash line.

Joe Musgrove - Completes 39-pitch rehab start Musgrove (elbow) struck out three and allowed one earned run on two hits and two walks across 2.2 innings in a rehab start Tuesday at Single-A Lake Elsinore.
Impact Musgrove tossed 39 pitches in the appearance, his first in the majors or minors since Sept. 26, 2024. The right-hander was deemed fully recovered from his October 2024 Tommy John surgery heading into spring training, but he experienced a setback after pitching in an exhibition game in early March. Musgrove made limited progress in the first few months following the setback but appeared to turn a corner in June and has now reached the final step of his lengthy recovery process. He'll likely continue to build on his workload over at least two or three more rehab starts before potentially slotting into the San Diego rotation at some point during the final two weeks of August.

Miguel Andujar - Not yet doing full swings The Padres announced Friday that Andujar no longer requires a splint for his fractured right wrist and has been cleared for light activity, MLB.com reports.
Impact Andujar hasn't yet been cleared to take full swings, however, and that will be a major checkpoint in the recovery process that he'll need to hit before his return from the 10-day injured list can be viewed as imminent. The 31-year-old hit .259 with five home runs, two steals, 22 RBI and 24 runs in 74 games with the Padres before landing on the shelf July 20.

Robbie Ray - Struggles in Padres debut Ray (10-7) allowed four runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out two over five innings in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Astros. He also tossed two wild pitches.
Impact Ray's first start with San Diego didn't go according to plan. The veteran left-hander escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first inning but surrendered a solo homer to Cam Smith in the second, allowed two more runs in the third and another run in the fourth. Ray threw just 51 of 92 pitches for strikes and issued at least five walks just for the third time in 2026 while recording only two strikeouts -- his second-lowest output of the season. The loss snapped a run of 12 straight starts in which Ray was undefeated, going 7-0 with a 2.12 ERA in that stretch, and as a result, his ERA rose to 3.24. Ray's next start is scheduled at home against the Brewers.
