TYLER WADE NEWS

Swats spring homer Wade went 2-for-3 with a home run, three total RBI and a walk in Friday's Cactus League victory against the Cubs.

Impact Wade plated three of San Diego's five runs, laying down an RBI bunt single in the fourth inning and slugging a two-run shot to right field in the sixth. The first of the two hits was more in line with Wade's skill set, as he ranked in the 85th percentile in sprint speed last year and has just seven home runs over eight big-league regular seasons. Wade has a .205/.279/.333 slash line this spring as he competes for a roster spot as a utility man for the Padres.

Avoids arbitration Wade signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Padres on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Wade struggled at the big-league level in 2024, slashing just .217/.285/.239 across 155 plate appearances. However, the Padres will keep him around for another year to serve as bench depth, and the 29-year-old will earn a $50,000 raise in the process.

Sitting third straight Wade is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Impact Wade got the first crack at shortstop duties following Ha-Seong Kim's (shoulder) injury but didn't capitalize on the opportunity, going 0-for-11 at the dish. He'll yield to Mason McCoy for a third consecutive contest Saturday and it appears as though Wade has been usurped by McCoy as the Padres temporary starting shortstop.

Getting Thursday off Wade isn't in the Padres' lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Impact After going 0-for-11 over his last four games while filling in for Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder), Wade will get a breather Thursday as Mason McCoy starts at shortstop and bats ninth.

Filling in for injured Kim Wade will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Twins, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Wade is in the lineup for a third straight game, as the Padres appear to have settled on him as their primary replacement at shortstop for Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Though he is a competent defender in the middle infield, Wade shouldn't be expected to provide much fantasy value other than the occasional stolen base while he's getting regular playing time. He's batting .231 with no home runs in 138 plate appearances with the Padres in 2024 and is a lifetime .219/.295/.291 hitter over parts of eight seasons in the big leagues.

Notches eighth steal Wade went 2-for-3 with two runs, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-0 win against Pittsburgh.

Impact Wade was a semi-regular presence in the Padres lineup at third base for a portion of April while Manny Machado was limited to DH duties, but since the latter returned to the field, Wade has played very sporadically. Tuesday marked his first start of the second half, and he did well with the opportunity, registering his first multi-hit game since May 22. Wade has given San Diego speed off the bench with eight steals in nine tries this season, but he's otherwise been a non-factor in fantasy with a .245/.322/.264 slash line, no homers, 21 runs and eight RBI over 121 plate appearances.

Back on bench after rare start Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Wade will head back to the bench for the Padres' final game before the All-Star break after he picked up his first start since July 4 in Saturday's 4-0 win. While filling in at shortstop for a resting Ha-Seong Kim, Wade went 1-for-2 with a run scored and his seventh stolen base of the season. Wade's playing time will likely remain light moving forward, with most of his opportunities coming as a late-inning defensive replacement or pinch runner.
