Michael Wacha - Scheduled for rehab start Wacha (shoulder) will make a rehab start for Triple-A El Paso on Saturday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact The expectation is that Wacha will throw between 50-60 pitches in his first live action since July 1. Wacha has been ramping up slowly after a brief shutdown period following his placement on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation. He figures to require at least one more rehab outing beyond Saturday before slotting back into the Padres' rotation.

Eguy Rosario - Reinstated, optioned to Triple-A The Padres reinstated Rosario (ankle) from the 60-day injured list Friday and optioned him to Triple-A El Paso.
Impact Rosario landed on the 60-day IL in February after suffering a broken ankle during the offseason. The 23-year-old infielder has been playing in rehab games since early June and is slashing .262/.351/.462 across 74 plate appearances in Triple-A. Now healthy, Rosario will remain in El Paso and could see some time in the majors once rosters expand in September.

Joe Musgrove - Shut down for three weeks Musgrove was diagnosed with inflammation in his right shoulder capsule Friday and will be shut down for at least three weeks, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact "Minor" shoulder soreness kept Musgrove from making his scheduled start Wednesday against Colorado, but the issue has now progressed into something that will keep him on the shelf for a considerable amount of time. Luckily, the Padres haven't ruled out Musgrove for the rest of the season, but there's a chance they hold him out if the team isn't in a position to make a playoff push late in the year.

Rich Hill - Padres debut coming Sunday Hill is scheduled to make his Padres debut Sunday against the Dodgers, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Hill was acquired from the Pirates -- along with Ji-Man Choi -- on Tuesday in exchange for Jackson Wolf, Estuar Suarez and Alfonso Rivas. The veteran left-hander had posted a rather underwhelming 4.76 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 104:47 K:BB through 119 innings (22 starts) this season with Pittsburgh, but he can still work deep in games and miss a few bats at age 43.

Scott Barlow - Shines in Padres debut Barlow earned a hold against Colorado on Wednesday, striking out three batters in 1.2 scoreless innings.
Impact After being acquired in a trade with the Royals on Tuesday, Barlow saw his first action as a Padre on Wednesday, coming on with San Diego holding a 4-1 lead with one out in the sixth frame. The right-handed reliever's own error put a runner on base in that inning, but that was the only misstep by Barlow in an impressive outing during which he threw 15 of 20 pitches for a strike and fanned three batters. Josh Hader is entrenched as the Padres' closer, so Barlow probably won't have many chances to add to the 13 saves he notched while with Kansas City, but he should still see plenty of high-leverage situations as a bridge to Hader.

Juan Soto - Adds another homer Soto went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's 11-1 win over the Rockies.
Impact Soto extended the Padres' lead to 3-0 in the third inning with a two-run, 449-foot blast off Kyle Freeland, his third homer in his last two games. Soto now has hits in six straight contests, going 12-for-25 (.480) with five multi-hit efforts in that span. His slash line is up to .277/.424/.527 with 23 homers, 70 RBI, 63 runs scored and six steals across 479 plate appearances this season.
