LUKE VOIT
Cashes in five Voit went 2-for-6 with a home run, two runs scored and five RBI in a 12-5 win over the Cubs on Tuesday.
Impact With his team down by five in the sixth, Voit hit a two-run shot to put his team on the board. He would also cash in the go ahead-run on a bases-clearing, three-RBI double his very next at-bat. Voit is now slashing .226/.306/.396 on the season. Despite carrying a 33.9 percent strikeout rate, Voit is a mainstay in the heart of the Padres lineup and should continue to see plenty of RBI opportunities from the cleanup spot.

Belts sixth homer Voit went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rockies.
Impact Voit's sixth home run of the season put the Padres on the board after Rockies starter German Marquez blanked the Friars through the first four frames. Since returning from a stint on the 10-day injured list May 10 after dealing with a biceps injury, Voit has slashed .259/.311/.464 with six home runs, 16 RBI and 15 runs in 29 games.

Goes deep Monday Voit went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday in a loss to the Mets.
Impact The Padres trailed 7-2 entering the bottom of the eighth inning before Voit made things interesting with a three-run shot to center field. The Mets bounced back with four runs of their own in the following frame to put the game out of reach. Despite the loss, Voit continued a recent resurgence that has seen him slash .333/.355/.567 over his past seven games. Strikeouts remain a problem for the slugger, however, as he has fanned 11 times while taking only one walk over that span.

Homers late in loss Voit went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Voit took Cardinals reliever Kodi Whitley deep in the ninth inning. The Padres continued to push after that, but they weren't able to tie the game. In his last 12 games, Voit is 12-for-40 (.300 with two homers, four RBI and six runs scored.) He's lifted his slash line to .217/.339/.358 with four long balls, 11 RBI, 16 runs scored, three doubles and a stolen base through 31 contests. He should continue to see regular playing time as the Padres' designated hitter.

Strikes blow with three-run homer Voit went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 4-3 victory against Pittsburgh.
Impact Voit struck out in each of his first two plate appearances and has fanned 21 times in 46 at-bats since returning from the injured list May 10, but he made up for the punchouts with a three-run homer to left field in the sixth inning. The long ball extended his hitting streak to seven games, during which he's batting .318 (7-for-22). He's also struck out 10 times over that span, however.

Launches first two homers in win Voit went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and three runs in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs.
Impact The first baseman took Keegan Thompson deep in the second inning and then launched another homer off Mychal Givens in the seventh frame. Voit finally notched his first homers of the season Wednesday. The 31-year-old has struggled to a .184 batting average over 49 at-bats to open the season. Voit will look to springboard this effort into a hot stretch in the coming weeks.

Returns from injured list Voit (biceps) was activated off the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Impact The 31-year-old landed on the shelf April 23 with a biceps tendon injury and will rejoin the big-league roster after a five-game rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso. Voit went 0-for-18 with 12 strikeouts during the rehab stint, which isn't a great sign given his .143/.315/.167 slash line and 31.5 percent strikeout rate prior to the injury. The veteran slugger may need to get on track quickly in order to maintain a regular spot in San Diego's lineup.

Needs more rehab games Voit (biceps) will return to Triple-A El Paso to get more rehab at-bats Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Voit has struggled significantly through five rehab games as he works his way back from a biceps issue, going 0-for-18 with 12 strikeouts. He got live at-bats at the team's practice facility in San Diego on Monday, and the verdict was evidently that he needs more time before returning from the injured list.

Impact Though Voit believes the biceps issue that resulted in his placement on the IL on April 24 has subsided at this point, he's looking to regain his timing at the plate on the heels of a rough rehab assignment at Triple-A El Paso. During his five-game run with El Paso, Voit went hitless with 12 strikeouts across 18 at-bats. The Padres don't believe Voit will need extensive time to find his swing, though he's not expected to be activated during the team's three-game home series with the Cubs that runs from Monday through Wednesday.

Golden sombrero for El Paso Voit (biceps) struck out in all four plate appearances with Triple-A El Paso on Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact He is 0-for-13 with seven strikeouts and two walks on his rehab assignment. The expectation was that Voit would need about a week-long rehab stint, and that may still be the case, but he was also hitting .143 with 17 strikeouts in 54 plate appearances in the majors before injuring his bicep, so it's fair to be concerned about how productive he will be once activated.
