Josh Hader - Blows save vs. Cardinals Hader (0-3) blew the save and took the loss in Wednesday's 5-4 loss against the Cardinals. He allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.
Impact After quickly logging the first two outs in the ninth, Hader gave up a two-out double to Masyn Winn before Tommy Edman belted a two-run homer, handing Hader and the Padres a 5-4 loss. It's the first time Hader's blown a save or allowed an earned run since May 31, a span of 26 appearances (23.2 innings). He still sports a stellar 1.16 ERA with a 1.03 WHIP and 74:25 K:BB across 46.2 innings while going 28-for-33 in save chances.

Luis Campusano - Belts fifth long ball Campusano went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to St. Louis.
Impact Campusano extended San Diego's lead to two runs with his solo shot in the sixth inning, though the team was unable to hang on for the win. The backstop had been struggling since his two-homer performance Aug. 7, going 4-for-23 with no home runs in nine subsequent contests prior to Tuesday. Campusano caught all 10 innings Tuesday but will remain in the lineup for Wednesday's early game, as he's starting behind the plate and batting eighth in the series finale against the Cardinals.

Steven Wilson - Shelved with hip inflammation The Padres placed Wilson on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with left hip inflammation.
Impact The transaction is retroactive to Monday, so Wilson will be eligible for activation Sept. 12. Wilson has functioned as one of the Padres' setup men in front of closer Josh Hader this season, gathering 22 holds and one win while pitching to a 3.91 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 53 innings. The Padres called up lefty Ray Kerr from Triple-A El Paso to replace Wilson in the bullpen.

Ray Kerr - Summoned from El Paso The Padres recalled Kerr from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.
Impact Kerr will join the big-league bullpen as a replacement for right-hander Steven Wilson, who was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with left hip inflammation. The 28-year-old southpaw has previously made 13 relief appearances for the Padres this season, compiling a 6.28 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over 14.1 innings.
AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Gary Sánchez - Sitting again Wednesday Sanchez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in St. Louis.
Impact Luis Campusano caught all 10 innings of Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals but is back behind the plate even with it being a day game after a night game. Sanchez has homered six times in August and had started five of the previous six contests before sitting in two straight.
AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matthew Batten - Four hits in loss Batten went 4-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Tuesday's loss to St. Louis.
Impact Batten got the start at third base against left-hander Zack Thompson and rewarded the Padres with a four-hit performance, his second multi-hit effort of the year. Batten's made two starts since he was recalled from Triple-A on Saturday, going 5-for-7 with two doubles and a home run. He's now batting .367 (11-for-30) with two homers, seven runs scored, four RBI and a 1.074 OPS through 34 plate appearances with San Diego this season. While his current pace isn't likely sustainable, Batten has an opportunity for regular playing time while Jake Cronenworth (wrist) is sidelined.

Jake Cronenworth - Expected to avoid surgery Cronenworth is not expected to need surgery to repair his fractured right wrist, MLB.com reports.
Impact Undergoing surgery would no doubt have ended his season, although it would still seem to be a long shot that he makes it back given that he'll be in a cast for several weeks. With the Padres' playoff hopes growing grimmer by the day, it makes little sense for Cronenworth to rush back.

Seth Lugo - Solid again in no-decision Lugo did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk over six innings in a 6-5 loss against St. Louis. He struck out six.
Impact Lugo's 14-inning scoreless streak ended with a Nolan Gorman RBI single in the third inning, though the right-hander would deliver six strong innings to log his sixth quality start in his last eight outings. Overall, Lugo is 5-6 this season with a 3.67 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 113:26 K:BB across 21 starts (115.1 innings). He's currently in line for a home matchup with the Giants in his next outing.
