Will undergo shoulder surgery Kim told reporters Saturday that he will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Kim has been on the 10-day injured list since Aug. 20 due to right shoulder inflammation. His rehab was repeatedly stalled as he continued to feel discomfort in his right shoulder, and it was decided Saturday that he would be pulled from his recovery program, per Cassavell. For now, it's unclear whether Kim's procedure will have a recovery timeline that would allow him to return for the start of spring training or if it would persist into the start of the 2025 regular season. The 28-year-old infielder ends the year with a slash line of .233/.330/.370 with 22 stolen bases, 11 home runs and 47 RBI across 470 plate appearances.

Shut down for season The Padres pulled Kim (shoulder) off his recovery program Saturday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Kim has been on the injured list since mid-August due to right shoulder inflammation. Despite spending more than a month on the IL, he's made little progress in his ability to throw the ball and will now shift his focus to getting ready for the start of the 2025 campaign. He'll close the book on 2024 with a .233/.330/.370 slash line alongside 47 RBI and 22 stolen bases across 121 games.

Dispatched to Triple-A The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Impact Since returning to the majors at the end of August, Jacob has allowed three earned runs over 8.1 innings across three appearances, though he hasn't pitched in a game since Sept. 14. He'll now head back to the minors as the Padres sacrifice some of their bullpen depth to bring back Randy Vasquez, who will start Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Dispatched to Triple-A The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Impact After returning to the majors at the end of August, Jacob allowed three earned runs over 8.1 innings across three appearances, though he hadn't pitched in a game since Sept. 14. He'll now head back to the minors as the Padres sacrifice some of their bullpen depth to bring back Randy Vasquez, who will start Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Promoted for start The Padres recalled Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday ahead of his start versus Arizona.

Impact Vasquez allowed nine earned runs over 4.1 innings during his last MLB start Aug. 31 and turned in a 7.20 ERA over 15 frames to finish the season in Triple-A, but he'll be called upon nonetheless to get San Diego through its penultimate regular-season game Saturday. On top of his poor performance, the 25-year-old will match up against a Diamondbacks offense that boasts an .818 OPS since the start of September, making him an extremely unreliable streaming option. Alek Jacob was optioned to El Paso in a corresponding move.

Three extra-base hits in win Arraez went 3-for-5 with a triple, two doubles, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Arraez started the game with a double and scored on a Manny Machado single. In the fourth inning, Arraez tacked on the Padres' last run with an RBI triple. It's rare for him to have many extra-base hits, but he has just four singles among his last 11 hits over an 11-game span. For the year, Arraez is at a .314/.346/.391 slash line with four home runs, 31 doubles, three triples, 46 RBI, 82 runs scored and nine stolen bases over a career-high 149 contests.

The closer has managed to keep runs off the board in four of his last six outings.

Swipes 11th bag in loss Tatis went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Tatis singled in his first at-bat and later drew a walk in the eighth before going on to steal his 11th base of the campaign. He's now hit safely in 13 of his last 14 games (including one game in which he only entered as a pinch hitter), batting .333 (19-for-57) over that stretch with seven homers, 12 RBI and 11 runs scored. Thursday's long ball was his 21st of the season.

Third straight quality start Musgrove did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Dodgers on Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over 6.1 innings while striking out six.

Impact Musgrove retired 10 of the first 11 batters he faced and cruised through the first six innings before allowing a two-run home run to Max Muncy in the seventh to tie the game at 2-2. The right-hander was eventually relieved by Tanner Scott with one out in the frame, but not before logging his third-consecutive quality start. Musgrove has also recorded at least six strikeouts in each of last five outings while issuing only four free passes over that stretch. He now carries a 2.51 ERA in September to go along with a 2-1 record.
