Michael Wacha - Not yet throwing Wacha (shoulder) said Sunday that he hasn't resumed playing catch since landing on the 15-day injured list July 4, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Impact Despite having failed to initiate a throwing program since being shut down with right shoulder inflammation, Wacha said he still hopes to make a start during the Padres' road series in Toronto or Detroit, but manager Bob Melvin seemed to dismiss that as a possibility. According to 97.3 The Fan San Diego, Melvin intimated that the earliest Wacha would return from the IL would be "at home," presumably referring to the Padres' homestand that begins July 24. Even if Wacha is cleared to play catch in the coming days, he'll likely then need to complete at least one multi-inning simulated game or minor-league rehab start before the Padres are comfortable activating him.

Robert Suarez - Advances rehab to Triple-A Suarez (elbow) shifted his rehab assignment to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday and allowed one run on one hit and one walk while failing to strike out a batter in his lone inning of w...
Impact Suarez, who has been on the shelf all season while recovering from an elbow injury, was making his fifth rehab appearance overall but his first at El Paso after prior stints in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and with Single-A Lake Elsinore. According to 97.3 The Fan San Diego, Padres manager Bob Melvin said Sunday that Suarez checked out "OK" following the rehab outing at El Paso, but the skipper noted that the reliever will "probably" require one more appearance in the minors before being activated from the 60-day injured list. Once he's reinstated, Suarez will likely settle in as a key setup man in front of closer Josh Hader.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - Feeling better Sunday Padres manager Bob Melvin said that Tatis (ankle) was feeling better than expected Sunday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Impact While the skipper left the door open for Tatis to pinch hit in the series finale, Melvin said he will "probably err on the side of caution" with rainy weather in Philadelphia. The Padres are off Monday, so Tatis will get another day to rest up before potentially returning to action. He twisted his ankle while tracking down a ball at the warning track in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

The veteran third baseman has been swinging a potent stick of late, smashing eight homers and driving in 18 runs over his past 11 contests.

Trent Grisham - Plates four runs during twin bill Grisham went 2-for-7 with a home run, a walk and four RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader versus Philadelphia.

Xander Bogaerts - Nabs steal No. 10 Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Phillies.
Impact After swiping his 10th bag of the year in the matinee, Bogaerts went 1-for-4 in the nightcap, giving the shortstop five hits in three contests coming out of the All-Star break. It's been a bumpy first season in San Diego for the former Boston star, in part due to lingering wrist issues, but Bogaerts has still reached double-digit steals for the first time since 2017 while also mashing 10 homers in 87 games.

Ha-Seong Kim - Swipes 17th bag Kim went 3-for-8 with two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Phillies.
Impact The Padres got swept in the twin bill, but it was through no fault of Kim's as he reached base multiple times while hitting leadoff in both contests. The 27-year-old extended his on-base streak to 12 games, a stretch in which he's slashing .302/.404/.488 with two of his 10 homers and four of his 17 steals on the season.

Ryan Weathers - Pummeled by Phillies Weathers (1-6) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Phillies, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.
Impact The Padres grabbed an early 1-0 lead in the first inning, but Weathers couldn't make it hold up for long, serving up a solo shot to Bryce Harper in the fourth and a three-run blast to Kyle Schwarber in the fifth. The 23-year-old lefty is expected to head back to Triple-A El Paso as his big-league struggles continue -- he's been tagged for at least four runs in five of his last seven starts for San Diego dating back to May 14, posting am 8.78 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB in 26.2 innings over that stretch.

Blake Snell - Strong start wasted Snell didn't factor into the decision in a 6-4 loss to the Phillies during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader, allowing three hits and three walks over five scoreless inning...
Impact The southpaw extended his scoreless streak to 21 innings with another dazzling performance and exited the game with the Padres ahead 3-0, but the bullpen quickly squandered the lead. Snell hasn't been scored upon since the first inning of a June 28 outing against the Pirates and hasn't given up more than two runs in a start since May 25, posting a stunning 0.62 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 91:25 K:BB through 58 innings over that latter stretch while going 5-1. Not much has gone right for San Diego this season -- the team sits five games below .500 after getting swept in Saturday's twin bill -- but Snell re-discovering his Cy Young form has been one of the bright spots heading into the second half.
