Padres News
The Padres are in a bit of a tailspin after last night's 1-5 loss to the Diamondbacks, but they’re attempting to shake off the disappointment with fresh faces. Casey Mize and Gage Workman have been activated, looking to inject some energy into a lineup that’s been inconsistent, especially with Manny Machado struggling at just .208. Meanwhile, Nick Pivetta's rehab hit another snag, leaving fans anxious as he exited early with elbow tightness, adding to the team's injury woes. On the bright side, Michael King managed to battle through six innings, despite being touched up for a crucial three-run homer. With a recent 5-2 stretch, the Padres need to channel that momentum and bounce back tonight against Arizona, as they chase a Wild Card spot and hope for more reliable performances from their newly acquired talent.
