Latest news and updates about the Padres
The San Diego Padres found themselves trailing the San Francisco Giants 4-1 after two innings and it was not looking for the Padres, who had Walker Buehler on the mound. However the new-look San Diego lineup generated consistent offense, which resulted in a 10-5 win over the Giants. Multiple Padres had multi-hit games, including Sung-Mun […]
Near the end of Tuesday’s telecast of the San Diego Padres’ 10-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants, broadcaster Duane Kuiper tried to look on the bright side of Matt Chapman’s 0-for-4 night. “If it’s any consolation,” Kuiper said, “Chapman’s had the longest out in this game.” That’s how hard it was to find a […]
Sung-Mun Song made his MLB debut in Mexico City against the Arizona Diamondbacks when the San Diego Padres added him to their roster as the 27th man. Song made an appearance as a pinch runner but did not do much more than that. Song changed that in his first MLB start when he hit a […]
The San Francisco Giants play game two of this three-game home series against the San Diego Padres tonight from Oracle Park, and they’re looking to take the series win after a 3-2 victory on Monday.

Before the second game of the series against the San Francisco Giants, the Padres made a series of roster changes. Second baseman Jake Cronenworth went to the seven-day injured list with concussion symptoms and infielder Sung-Mun Song was recalled from Triple-A El Paso. Cronenworth was hit on the jaw by a pitch in the series […]
The San Francisco Giants are swapping right-handed pitchers ahead of Tuesday’s home game against the San Diego Padres. A few hours before the game, the team announced that right-handed starter Trevor McDonald had been optioned to AAA Sacramento, while right-handed reliever Joel Peguero had been activated off the 15-Day Injured List. It might seem like […]
For so many reasons, the San Diego Padres should have won. The San Francisco Giants were coming off a road trip in which they lost all six games, the Friars had one of their aces on the mound in Randy Vásquez and San Francisco had the rookie Trevor McDonald making his 2026 debut. It all […]
Jackson Merrill hit a first-inning solo home run to put the San Diego Padres ahead of the San Francisco Giants, 1-0 but that was all the offensive excitement the Padres could muster for much of the game. Randy Vasquez started on the mound for San Diego and continued to be effective. However, with an offense […]
San Diego Padres Nick Castellanos has been trying to dig himself out of a slow start to the 2026 season. He is hitting .164/.215/.279 with one home run and nine RBI over 62 at-bats. His statistical numbers do not offer much confidence that Castellanos can get out of this slump. The Friar Faithful envisioned him […]
In losing five-of-eight games, starting with the split against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Mexico City, the San Diego Padres had their first losing streak since the first week of the season. Coming home from Mexico, without a day off to recover, the Padres played six games against the Chicago teams. Losing both series 1-2, the […]

The last week has been a difficult one for the San Diego Padres. Perhaps the first such week since Opening Week. The Friars dropped five of their last eight contests, but they managed to stave off a sweep with yesterday’s win over the Chicago White Sox. It was exactly what San Diego needed. Newcomer Griffin […]
The San Francisco Giants were still licking their wounds after the pasting the New York Yankees gave them opening week and it seemed as though their division rival the San Diego Padres would extend the misery. Instead, the Giants took 2 out of 3 and left San Diego with the same 2-4 record as the […]
Well, that was a rough road-trip, Arizona going 1-5 – don’t forget, the Mexico City games officially counted as “home” ones for the D-backs. I do wonder if playing at an altitude of over seven thousand feet carried a detrimental effect forward, like playing at Coors Field on steroids. The Padres have also looked shaky […]
Griffin Canning made his first start as a member of the San Diego Padres AND it came at Petco Park in front of the Friar Faithful. Canning ended with a no-decision, but left the game after five innings, allowing just one run on a solo home run to Drew Romo, with seven strikeouts. Canning did […]
It was a bloodbath in the National League West last week, with all five teams in the division piling up defeats.

The San Diego Padres have officially announced the ownership transfer of the team to José E. Feliciano and his wife, Kwanza Jones. The couple will own approximately 40% of the team and Feliciano will be the controlling partner in the eyes of MLB. They will be joined by a group of owners that will continue […]
The San Diego Padres activated right-handed starter Griffin Canning from the injured list Sunday morning to start in the final game in the series against the Chicago White Sox. Right-hander Randy Vásquez, slated to start on Sunday, will be pushed back to Monday in San Francisco. The corresponding move for the Padres is to place […]

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 […]
