Padres minors: Trenton Brooks swats two homers in El Paso win Granite Hills High product homers twice in Triple-A El Paso’s opening day win
Dismissed from big-league camp The Padres reassigned Brooks to minor-league camp Monday.
Impact Brooks made his MLB debut in his age-28 season in 2024, seeing action in 12 games with the Giants while posting a .361 OPS. The Giants outrighted him off the 40-man roster soon after his brief stint in the majors, and he finished the season at Triple-A Sacramento, where he slashed .302/.410/.453 across 407 plate appearances. After joining the Padres on a minor-league deal in November, Brooks will likely serve as organizational depth at Triple-A El Paso for most of the 2025 campaign.

Losing work to Flores Brooks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
Impact Brooks looked as though he might hold down a strong-side platoon role at first base following his call-up from Triple-A Sacramento on May 28, but he appears to have since faded into a pure backup role behind Wilmer Flores. He'll be out of the lineup for the fifth straight game, with the Giants facing three lefty starters and two righties during that span.

Taking seat against lefty Brooks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Impact Though he'll take a seat while southpaw Nestor Cortes takes the hill for the Yankees, the lefty-hitting Brooks appears to have settled in as the strong side option of a platoon at first base with the right-handed-hitting Wilmer Flores. Brooks has started in the Giants' last three matchups with righties and has gone 1-for-6 with two walks and two runs in four games overall since he was called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday following LaMonte Wade's (hamstring) placement on the injured list.
