GAME LOG
Nick Pivetta - Struggles with control Pivetta did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs on four hits and five walks over 5.2 innings in a 5-4 victory over the Brewers. He struck out five.
Impact Pivetta delivered a decent outing Monday, though his five walks marked a season high. The 32-year-old has been sharp throughout 2025 and has stayed steady down the stretch, carrying a 2.90 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across 40.1 innings in his past seven starts, numbers that closely mirror his season line of a 2.87 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over 181.2 innings in 31 outings. He's currently lined up to start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Diamondbacks, but the Padres could hold him back to open a potential Wild Card Series game.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - Dealing with illness Tatis is not in Monday's starting lineup against the Brewers due to an illness, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Impact Padres manager Mike Shildt relayed Monday that Tatis woke up feeling ill. Tatis will be on the bench for the series opener against Milwaukee, but he could be back in the lineup Tuesday depending on his recovery. Ryan O'Hearn will fill in at right field and bat fifth Monday.

Xander Bogaerts - Not expected to be activated Monday Bogaerts (foot) now appears set for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Previous reports indicated Bogaerts would return from his left foot injury Monday. However, he went through another pregame workout Monday instead, as the Padres have apparently elected to give him one more day before he's reinstated. Jose Iglesias is starting at shortstop for the Padres in Monday's game versus the Brewers.
SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Ramón Laureano - Exiting starting nine Laureano is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Brewers.
Impact It's the first day off since Aug. 11 for Laureano, who is slashing just .143/.204/.265 over his last 13 games. Bryce Johnson will draw a start in left field and bat seventh for the Padres on Monday.
SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Fernando Tatis Jr. - Getting rare day off Tatis is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.
Impact It's a rare day off for Tatis, who had started each of the previous 18 contests. The Padres will go with Ryan O'Hearn in right field in Monday's series opener.
SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Mason Miller - Wild, but credited with hold Sunday Miller earned a hold against the White Sox on Sunday, walking two batters and striking out one over a hitless and scoreless two-thirds of an inning.
Impact Miller wasn't at his best in the outing, throwing just eight of 19 pitches for strikes. He entered with the bases loaded and one out in the seventh frame, so each of his two walks forced in a run, but he was able to escape the inning with the Padres still in the lead. Though this was far from his best performance, Miller extended to 18 his streak of scoreless appearances. The talented reliever has tossed 19 innings during that span, giving up just four hits while posting a sizzling 36:8 K:BB and recording nine saves along with one hold.
SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Fernando Tatis Jr. - Slugs long ball Sunday Tatis went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the White Sox.
Impact Tatis produced the Padres' only extra-base hit in the contest with his 432-foot solo shot in the third inning. The talented right fielder has been hot of late, collecting five multi-hit efforts over his past eight contests and batting .406 (13-for-32) with two homers, three RBI, 11 runs and three stolen bases over that span. Tatis has posted a fine .805 OPS through 681 appearances in what has been a promisingly healthy campaign, adding 23 homers and 66 RBI while establishing new career highs with 108 runs and 32 stolen bases.

Nestor Cortes - Slated for another sim game Cortes (biceps) will toss another sim game early in the coming week, per MLB.com.
Impact Cortes' most recent sim game, which took place Friday, lasted two innings and went well, according to Padres manager Mike Shildt. The team nonetheless wants the veteran lefty to throw to hitters one more time before potentially returning to the big-league club. That would still give Cortes a chance of being activated from the IL before the end of the regular season, though that likely wouldn't happen until near the end of the coming week.
