Latest news and updates about the Padres
The San Diego Padres haven’t been in this position in quite some time. In fact, they went all of April without losing the first two games of a series. They’ve now dropped four straight for the first time in 2026, and there’s really only one culprit. The bats have been cold. Throughout the losing streak, […]
If you wanted to know how the San Diego Padres were doing the season, just watch the ninth inning of their 4-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox at Petco Park on Saturday night. The good news was Jeremiah Estrada returned from his stint on the IL. The right-hander made quick work of the three […]
Winning is fun! The Chicago White Sox are on a four-game winning streak and have won three of their last four series. The Good Guys look to extend both streaks tonight, to five and four. After notching his first career road win on April 22 in Arizona, Sean Burke takes the bump tonight and looks […]

Last night, the San Diego Padres took a shellacking from the Chicago White Sox, eventually losing 8-2. The trouble started early, with Germán Márquez giving up six runs in the second inning. That inning was the difference maker in San Diego’s eventual loss to the Sox. It was a tough loss to take, but this […]
The San Diego Padres starting rotation will receive a boost to start next week when right-handed starter Griffin Canning will make his long-awaited Padres debut. With his rehab window coming to a close on Sunday, Canning will most likely make his last start with El Paso on that date and then join the team Monday. […]
The San Diego Padres had the bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the first inning. Ty France was standing in the batter’s box after Xander Bogaerts battled through an at-bat to draw a walk. France has been one of the hottest hitters on the Padres roster in recent weeks, but he was […]
The White Sox have been worse than .500 all season long, so declaring them a must-watch team seems a bit hyperbolic. But Friday’s 8-2 annihilation of a Padres team very strong out of the gate — 5 1/2 games better than Chicago entering play — touched on the three players most likely to make you […]
Welcome to Noah Schultz Night! And quite a late night it is, with the White Sox back on the West Coast, taking on the high-flying Padres. Basically beyond his first inning in the major leagues, Schultz has been spectacular, certainly better than advertised for a 22-year-old whose 2025 wasn’t terribly impressive/marred by injury. A new […]

San Diego Padres president of baseball operations/general manager A.J. Preller signed shortstop Xander Bogaerts to an 11-year/$280 million contract on Dec. 9, 2022.

The first month of the 2026 season is in the book. The main priority for the San Diego Padres is still rectifying their starting rotation. Injuries have made it impossible to figure out the rotation beyond Michael King and Randy Vasquez in the top two spots. The next order of business is deciding the future […]
The San Diego Padres have had a streakier bullpen than usual lately. The two runs they combined to give up on Wednesday afternoon ended up costing the Friars incredibly in their 5-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs. It was their first series loss in the entire month of April. And here’s the thing. As much […]
The San Diego Padres kick off the MLB Pride Night season by finally allowing fans to attend and watch the RuPaul's Drag Race finale.
The Lake Elsinore Storm became the first minor league affiliate to sweep a series this season and now have a winning record going into a tie for first in their division. The Low-A team, boasting many of the 2025 draftees of the Padres, has had many surprise players surge in the last couple of weeks. […]
Xander Bogaerts has been the most consistent offensive player for the San Diego Padres through the first month of the season — his defense has been pretty good, too. The question, as the calendar turns to May, is can he maintain this pace? There is some reason to think that after three years in San […]
The San Diego Padres dropped a series for the first time since the opening week of the season with a 5-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday, but they had opportunities to prevent that. In the end, the offense did not do enough, and the bullpen struggled to keep runs off the board. Miguel […]
This game started out like it might be something special for Jameson Taillon, but then the home-run bug bit him again. Jamo recovered from that to throw seven strong innings and the Cubs squeaked out a 5-4 win over the Padres with some nails relief pitching from Ben Brown and Hoby Milner, winning the series […]
You can never have enough pitching. The Royals acquired Ryan Bergert from the Padres last summer hoping he could provide additional depth to their starting rotation. He impressed with a 4.43 ERA and 39 strikeouts in 40.2 innings over eight starts, but was sent to Omaha to begin this season. He exited his third start […]
Go get ‘em, Jamo.

Wednesday notes… Cubs lineup: Padres lineup: Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Matt Waldron, RHP Jameson Taillon has had some good starts this year, and some where he’s allowed too many home runs and runs.

Last night was a game the San Diego Padres usually win. The Friars and the Chicago Cubs traded blows for the first five innings of the game before the Cubs took a lead they wouldn’t relinquish in the sixth. Walker Buehler had a semi-solid outing, getting through 4 2/3 innings and only allowing two runs. […]
Walker Buehler was not sharp, but he was not terrible either. He allowed two runs on three hits and left the game after 4.2 innings with the score tied, 2-2. Kyle Hart came in from the bullpen to help Buehler and the San Diego Padres get out of the inning without allowing a run, but […]
