Ji Man Choi - Not starting Saturday Choi isn't in the Padres' lineup Saturday against Arizona.
Impact Choi hasn't collected a hit (0-for-12) since July 29, so he'll miss out on a start Saturday. Fernando Tatis will step in as the Padres' DH, allowing Jose Azocar to start in right field and bat eighth.

Gary Sánchez - Sitting Saturday Sanchez isn't in the Padres' lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Sanchez has been alternating starts with Luis Campusano since Monday, and Saturday will mark Campusano's turn to start behind the dish. Sanchez is 6-for-22 with three home runs since the start of August.

Michael Wacha - Expected to return Tuesday Padres manager Bob Melvin said Friday that Wacha (shoulder) will rejoin the Padres rotation against Baltimore on Tuesday, Sammy Levitt of 97.3 The Fan San Diego reports.
Impact Wacha made his second minor-league rehab outing Thursday, throwing 67 pitches over five innings at the Padres' complex in Arizona. He appears to have come away from the appearance without any issues, as San Diego has penciled him in to return to the rotation Tuesday against the Orioles. Wacha could be on a mild pitch count for that contest given that he hasn't tossed in a big-league game since July 1.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - Collects three hits Friday Tatis went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base in a 10-5 win over Arizona on Friday.
Impact Tatis contributed to a three-run ninth inning for the Padres with an RBI double. He finished with three base knocks for his first multi-hit game since July 28. Tatis had been slumping coming into Friday, slashing .085/.122/.191 with one homer, eight RBI and a steal over his previous 11 games.

Jake Cronenworth - Knocks 10th home run Cronenworth went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Friday's win against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Cronenworth drilled a two-run shot during San Diego's four-run third inning. It was his 10th long ball of the year and second in his last five appearances immediately following a 25-game homerless drought. Despite the recent lack of power, Cronenworth has produced a 1.085 OPS over his last 13 games, raising his season slash line to .229/.315/.387 through 114 games.

Xander Bogaerts - Goes deep, swipes bag Bogaerts went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and one stolen base in Friday's win over Arizona.
Impact Bogaerts started his big day with a two-run shot in the second inning. It was his 12th homer of the year and first since July 18, snapping a 21-game drought. During that stretch, he hit .293 but registered a lackluster .659 OPS. Bogaerts is now slashing .271/.344/.402 with 31 extra-base hits and 13 steals through 471 plate appearances.
AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Blake Snell - Fans seven in win Snell (9-8) yielded two runs on two hits and four walks over six innings Friday, striking out seven and earning a win against Arizona.
Impact After giving up a run in the first inning, Snell held the Diamondbacks off the board until serving up a solo homer to Ketel Marte in the sixth. Snell's dominant stretch continued as he allowed fewer than three runs for the 14th time in his last 15 starts. He's registered a 1.16 ERA during that stretch, giving him a 2.63 ERA alongside a 171:76 K:BB through 24 outings. The only downside is that he's walked at least three batters in eight consecutive starts. Snell is expected to face the Orioles at home next week.
