To start Cactus League opener Martinez will start the Padres' Cactus League opener Friday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact Martinez logged 10 starts and 37 relief appearances last season with San Diego, but he's expected to have more of a permanent rotation spot steering into 2023. The 32-year-old right-hander is coming off an overall 3.47 ERA and 95:41 K:BB across 106.1 innings, and he's probably worthy of a late-round dart throw in most standard fantasy formats.

Changes made to delivery Weathers has revamped his delivery for the upcoming season, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.
Impact Weathers now has added an overhead delivery to his mechanics, and Scanlan reports that the left-hander has done "lots of work" in the offseason. The left-hander showed flashes of brilliance in the first-half of 2021, but he has struggled since, making just one appearance for the Padres in 2022 and registering a 6.73 ERA over 123 innings for Triple-A El Paso. There's more risk than reward in Weathers' profile at this stage, but keep in mind he's only 23 years old, and there's still the potential for long-term success.

Takes first full BP of spring Tatis (suspension) participated in his first full batting practice session of spring training Monday, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.
Impact The 24-year-old looks to be back to full health following a pair of surgeries this past fall on his left wrist and left shoulder, but he'll still be sidelined for the Padres' first 20 games of the regular season while he serves the remainder of the 80-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs that he was handed last summer. Tatis, who is eligible to debut April 20, looks as though he'll be earmarked for an everyday role in right field, after the Padres signed shortstop Xander Bogaerts this offseason. Meanwhile, manager Bob Melvin has also noted during the spring that he anticipates Juan Soto and Ha-Seong Kim settling into regular spots in left field and second base, respectively.
