Jurickson Profar

SD Left Fielder #10

Jurickson Profar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk against the Tigers on Thursday.

Profar’s home run was his 22nd of the season. He hit a solo shot off Casey Mize in the first inning. Profar continues to add to his career-highs in home runs and RBI this year. He’s hitting .278 with an .844 OPS and 82 RBI on the season.
Martin Perez

SD Starting Pitcher #54

Martin Perez tossed 6 1/3 scoreless innings and got a no-decision against the Tigers on Thursday.

Perez gave up five hits, walked one and struck out five. It was a great start for Perez, who was in line for the win before Robert Suarez blew the save in the ninth inning. Perez is 4-5 with a 4.46 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 96 strikeouts in 121 innings this year. The 33-year-old left-hander is set to face the Mariners on the road next week.
Jackson Merrill

SD Center Fielder #3

Jackson Merrill went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer and two runs scored in the Padres’ 6-5 win over the Tigers on Wednesday.

After knocking a base hit in the second inning, Merrill took Keider Montero deep for a three-run blast in the fourth. He collected his third hit with a double in the seventh. Starting the tenth inning on second base, he scored the winning run on a walk-off single by Fernando Tatis Jr. The 21-year-old outfielder has been one of the most impressive rookies, hitting .294/.326/.502 with 22 homers, 82 RBI, and 16 steals across 519 plate appearances.
Fernando Tatis Jr.

SD Right Fielder #23

Fernando Tatis Jr. went 2-for-6 with a double, one run scored, and an RBI against the Tigers on Wednesday.

After going hitless in his first game off the injured list on Monday, Tatis Jr. got his first hit of Wednesday’s game in the fifth inning with a double before scoring on a single by Manny Machado. He later delivered the walk-off hit in the tenth, a base hit to score Jackson Merrill from second to end the game. The 25-year-old outfielder is hitting .277/.349/.462 with 14 homers, 51 runs scored, 37 RBI, and eight steals.
Yu Darvish

SD Starting Pitcher #11

Yu Darvish allowed three runs with four strikeouts over 2 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Tigers on Wednesday.

Darvish made his return to the mound for the first time since late May after missing time with an elbow injury. He surrendered a solo homer to Matt Vierling in the first inning. A groundout with a runner on third brought a second run in to score in the second. Then a walk and base hit brought in a third run before Darvish was done with two outs in the third inning. The 38-year-old right-hander is in line to take on the Mariners in Seattle on Tuesday.
Yu Darvish

SD Starting Pitcher #11

Padres activated RHP Yu Darvish from the 15-day injured list.

Darvish, who went down on May 29 with a groin injury, will pitch in a game for the first time in three months when he faces the Tigers tonight.
Tom Cosgrove

SD Relief Pitcher #59

Padres optioned LHP Tom Cosgrove to Triple-A El Paso.

Cosgrove didn’t pitch in two days with the Padres. It’s been a rough go for him in 2024 after he performed as one of baseball’s best rookie relievers last year, amassing a 1.75 ERA in 51 1/3 innings.
David Peralta

SD Left Fielder #24

David Peralta is on the Padres bench against a right-hander Wednesday for the first time since July 2.

This was bound to happen with Fernando Tatis Jr. back, though the Padres did start him and give Jurickson Profar a rest on Monday. Peralta has been excellent these last two months, hitting .293/.342/.490 in 158 plate appearances, so the Padres will continue to mix and match with him when it makes sense.
Yu Darvish

SD Starting Pitcher #11

Padres manager Mike Shildt confirmed that Yu Darvish would come off the injured list and start Wednesday’s game.

Despite missing three months after injuring his groin, Darvish will return without an official rehab start, though he did get up to 66 pitches in his last simulated game. Since he’ll be facing the Tigers, he’s not the worst play in fantasy leagues. Still, we’d recommend waiting and seeing what he looks like. After all, even if he is good, he might not last long enough to qualify for a win. Darvish is taking the rotation spot opened up by Randy Vásquez’s latest demotion.
Luis Arraez

SD Second Baseman #4

Luis Arraez went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI and also stole a base on Monday, lifting the Padres to a 3-0 victory over the Tigers.

Arraez kicked off the scoring with a run-scoring single to right field in the third inning before tacking on a key insurance run with an eight-inning single to center field. He also picked up his eighth stolen base of the season in this one. The 27-year-old contact-oriented infielder, who has been playing through a torn ligament in his left thumb, is still hitting for a strong batting average, but doesn’t bring much else to the table from a fantasy standpoint.
