Swipes bag Thursday Nola went 1-for-4 with three runs, an RBI, a stolen base and a walk in Thursday's 12-1 victory against Atlanta.

Impact Nola also reached based on a hit-by-pitch, and he scored three of the team's 12 runs in the rout. The catcher picked up a rare theft in the sixth inning as part of a double steal with Manny Machado. It was just the second stolen base of Nola's career and first since his rookie 2019 campaign.

Twin win: Rogers gets save, brother loss as Pads top Giants

Manny Machado’s RBI groundout in the seventh inning put San Diego ahead, Austin Nola hit his first home run of the season and the Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2

APRIL 12, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Blasts first homer Nola went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 4-2 win against San Francisco on Monday.

Impact Nola chased San Francisco starter Alex Wood in the fifth inning with his solo home run to left to give San Diego a brief lead, though he failed to be productive in his other four at-bats. The 32-year-old backstop has now hit safely and recorded an RBI in all four games in which he's played this season, though the solo shot is his first extra-base hit.

Steps out of lineup Nola is not in the lineup Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Nola started behind the plate Opening Day and went 1-for-4 with an RBI during the 4-2 loss in Arizona. Jorge Alfaro will start Friday's contest and form a battery with left-hander Sean Manaea.

Plates RBI in loss Nola went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's loss to Arizona.

Impact Nola was the leadoff hitter Opening Day and while he may not hold that role on a regular basis, he at least made a contribution Thursday when he scored Ha-Seong Kim with an RBI single in the top of the fourth. Nola hit .272 with a .716 OPS over 56 games last season.

Gets Opening Day leadoff look Nola will start at catcher and bat leadoff in Thursday's season opener versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact The Opening Day leadoff assignment is a nice surprise for Nola's fantasy managers, but it bears mentioning that Arizona is bringing a lefty (Madison Bumgarner) to the hill. The lefty-hitting Trent Grisham -- who is batting ninth Thursday -- typically slotted atop the lineup versus right-handed pitchers during Cactus League play, so expect that trend to carry over into the regular season. Nola will likely move to the bottom half of the San Diego lineup versus righties.

Healthy for Cactus League play Nola (thumb) is scheduled to catch for starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore on Friday in the Padres' Cactus League opener versus the Mariners, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune...

Impact The report provides confirmation that Nola is healthy again after he sustained a left thumb strain in late September that required season-ending surgery. Before the thumb injury surfaced, Nola had missed considerable time in the 2021 season with a sprained knee, limiting him to just 56 appearances in total. He enters 2022 as the Padres' nominal No. 1 catcher, but with San Diego expected to carry two other experienced backstops (Jorge Alfaro and Victor Caratini) on its Opening Day roster, Nola could struggle to earn starts in more than 60 percent of the Padres' games.

Moves to 60-day IL Nola (thumb) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact Nola's shift to the 60-day IL is simply procedural since the catcher will require season-ending thumb surgery. Victor Caratini will continue to serve as the primary catcher during the final series of the regular season, while Friday's transaction helps to make room for right-hander Pedro Avila, whose contract was selected from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
