Losing out on starts Brooks is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Brooks is on the bench for the fifth straight game and the third straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher. At this point, the Padres appear content to use the designated-hitter spot to rotate multiple everyday players rather than leaning on Brooks in the strong side of a platoon. Brooks has posted a weak .154/.195/.282 slash line in 41 plate appearances since getting called up from Triple-A El Paso on June 15.

Heading to bench Sunday Brooks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact Brooks had started at designated hitter in three of the Padres' last four matchups with right-handed pitchers and has gone 2-for-7 with a home run and two doubles in five games overall since being called up from Triple-A El Paso on June 15, but he's not yet locked in as a regular in the San Diego lineup. With Gavin Sheets getting a day off from playing the outfield and serving as the DH, the Padres won't have a lineup spot available for Brooks on Sunday.

Pops homer in loss Brooks hit a two-run home run in his lone at-bat in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Brooks struck out twice Monday after making the start at designated hitter. He was a pinch hitter Tuesday and delivered a blast in the seventh inning, but he didn't stay in the game. Brooks provides another left-handed bench bat, but it's unlikely he'll regularly bump Gavin Sheets or Luis Arraez out of the lineup at first base or in left field, and the Padres can rotate a number of other players in at DH. Brooks will likely see indirect competition for playing time from Tyler Wade and Jose Iglesias while he is on the major-league roster.

Receives call to majors The Padres selected Brooks' contract from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Impact Brooks logged 29 plate appearances in the majors with the Giants in 2024, but he was outrighted off the 40-man roster last July and elected free agency before catching on with the Padres on a minor-league deal. The 29-year-old has been a mainstay in the lineup at El Paso this season and will earn a look with the big club after slashing .313/.415/.585 with 13 home runs and 53 RBI over 265 plate appearances. Brooks isn't included in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, but he could be an option for the Padres in left field or at first base and designated hitter against right-handed pitching while Jackson Merrill (concussion) and Jason Heyward (oblique) are on the injured list.
