Bryce Miller: Offensive skid signals concern for Padres seeking next levelThe only lining flashing a smidge of silver after the Padres continued back-sliding into offensive lethargy Sunday against the Mets was mana...
J.D. Davis - Not yet swingingDavis continues to wear a splint on his sprained left hand and hasn't been cleared to resume swinging a bat, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
ImpactThough he's now spent nearly five weeks on the injured list, Davis doesn't look particularly close to returning to the New York lineup. After having a minor-league rehab assignment put on pause in late May due to neck stiffness, Davis has since overcome that injury, only for the discomfort in his left hand to resurface. Until the discomfort subsides, Davis won't be able to take part in any baseball activities, making it difficult to gauge when he might ultimately return from the IL. At this point, fantasy managers should probably view late June as a best-case scenario for when he might rejoin the Mets.

Tommy Pham - On base thrice, two stealsPham went 1-for-3 with a double, RBI, two walks and two steals in a 6-2 loss to the Mets on Sunday.
ImpactLeading off, Pham walked and stole second in both the second and fifth innings, smashed a ground-rule double in the seventh, and grounded into an RBI fielder's choice in the ninth. His eight stelas place him at 15th most in baseball though just third on the Padres behind Fernando Tatis and Jurickson Profar.

Chris Paddack - Quality start in lossPaddack (2-5) lost Sunday's 6-2 defeat at the hands of the Mets, going six innings and allowing three runs on six hits and a walk with six strikeouts.
ImpactPaddack posted his third quality start in 11 turns Sunday but opposing starter Marcus Stroman and two Mets' relievers were able to keep a potent Padres offense in check. The decent yet unspectacular outing has become commonplace for Paddack this year, with the key takeaways being six innings which ties his season high and six strikeouts which are one off his peak.

Dominic Smith - Smashes fourth home runSmith went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, walk, caught stealing and two strikeouts in a 6-2 win over the Padres on Sunday.
ImpactSmith walked and was caught stealing second base in the second inning and blasted a solo home run to center in the fourth. After launching 10 home runs in 50 games in 2020, Smith has just four through 49 games season and owns a decent .260/.332/.373 slash line. One added factor of late has been Smith's activity on the bases, with both his steals and lone caught stealing all having come in June.

James McCann - Third homer in four gamesMcCann went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two strikeouts as New York defeated San Diego 6-2 Sunday.
ImpactMcCann was quiet at the dish until taking San Diego reliever Craig Stammen deep to center in the eighth to extend the Mets' lead to 6-1. Four of McCann's six home runs have come since May 29 as he's 10-for-21 with six extra-base hits during the seven-game hot streak.

Billy McKinney - Two hits, stealMcKinney went 2-for-5 with a run, RBI, stolen base and strikeout in a 6-2 win over San Diego on Sunday.
ImpactHitting first, McKinney knocked an RBI single in the third inning and followed it up with a single, steal of second and subsequent run in the sixth to play a role in two of the first three Met runs. The outfielder is 8-for-33 in near-regular playing time since debuting with New York on May 27 and looks to see decent at-bats until more Mets return from injury.
