Jake Cronenworth - Three hits, two RBI in loss Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and two RBI in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Cronenworth hit an RBI single in the first inning and an RBI double in the seventh to account for half of the Padres' run production. The infielder has nine multi-hit efforts over his last 15 games, a stretch that has raised his batting average from .206 to .232 on the year. He's added a .706 OPS, 10 home runs, six stolen bases, 46 RBI and 52 runs scored through 116 contests overall.

Impact Tatis went 5-for-13 with two RBI, two steals and three runs scored over this weekend's three-game series versus Arizona. Prior to this series, he hadn't stolen a base since July 30. The outfielder is at a .260/.317/.467 slash line with 19 steals, 19 home runs, 62 RBI, 66 runs scored, 26 doubles and a triple through 98 contests.

Seth Lugo - Takes no-decision Lugo allowed two runs on six hits and struck out four without walking a batter over five innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Impact Lugo rebounded from giving up eight runs over 3.1 innings against the Dodgers in his last start, but it was still his fourth outing in a row without a win. The right-hander was also tagged for his eighth home run in his last six starts. He's at a 4.16 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 94:21 K:BB through 97.1 innings over 18 starts this season. He's projected for a rematch at home versus the Diamondbacks in his next outing.

Ji Man Choi - Out of Sunday's lineup Choi isn't starting Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Choi's recent offensive struggles have made the Padres more willing to use other players from their lineup in the DH spot, which is exactly what they will do Sunday. Xander Bogaerts will serve as San Diego's designated hitter, moving Ha-Seong Kim to shortstop, Jake Cronenworth to second and Garrett Cooper in at first base.

Rich Hill - Lasts just 3.1 frames in loss Hill (7-12) took the loss against Arizona on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 3.1 innings.

Impact Hill allowed four extra-base hits among the seven knocks against him, including a Christian Walker two-run homer. The veteran hurler was pulled after racking up 83 pitches through 3.1 frames, going just one out longer than in his Padres debut, when he allowed six runs over three innings. The pair of outings are Hill's two shortest among his 23 starts this season, so it goes without saying that he's not providing the rotation boost San Diego was hoping for when they acquired him at the trade deadline. Michael Wacha (shoulder) is slated to return Tuesday, but the Padres may need to continue to roll out Hill every five days since Joe Musgrove (shoulder) isn't likely to rejoin the rotation until at least mid-September.
