Gary Sánchez - Resting Sunday Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact The Padres have shown no hesitation about breaking Sanchez in as a full-time player since he was claimed off waivers from the Mets early last week. The 30-year-old has picked up starts at either designated hitter or catcher in each of the last five games, going 5-for-17 with a pair of home runs, four RBI and two additional runs. Austin Nola will get a turn behind the plate Sunday, but Sanchez still looks like the Padres' preferred catching option for the time being.

Xander Bogaerts - Sidelined Sunday Bogaerts (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact As expected, Bogaerts will receive at least one day off to heal up from his sore left wrist, which has been nagging him for more than a week. After he was lifted late in Saturday's win over the Cubs, Bogaerts said he expects to avoid a stint on the injured list, but fantasy managers should view the 30-year-old as day-to-day heading into the Friars' upcoming six-game week. Ha-Seong Kim will fill in for Bogaerts at shortstop in Sunday's contest.

Xander Bogaerts - Still bothered by wrist Bogaerts said after Saturday's 6-0 win over the Cubs that he was removed from the contest due to a lingering left wrist issue but is hopeful to avoid a stint on the injured list, D...
Impact Before being lifted ahead of the eighth inning of Saturday's game, Bogaerts went hitless in four at-bats and is now slashing .200/.200/.240 over his past seven contests. Though he doesn't believe he'll require a trip to the IL, Bogaerts acknowledged that he'll likely get at least a little time off, so he'll presumably be out of the lineup for Sunday's contest.

Ha-Seong Kim - Keeps running Saturday Kim went 2-for-2 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.
Impact Kim has stolen a base in each of the last five games he's started, giving him 11 thefts in 13 chances this season. He's shown a bit more consistency at the plate as well, going 24-for-82 (.293) since the start of May. The 27-year-old infielder's raised his slash line to .250/.347/.393 with five home runs, 18 RBI, 23 runs scored and nine doubles through 54 contests. Rougned Odor (groin) is expected to avoid the injured list, but Kim's solid hitting should continue to make him the Padres' preferred option at second base.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - Powers offense in win Tatis went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.
Impact Tatis hit a solo shot in the third inning and then doubled the Padres' lead with a three-run blast in the eighth. This was his second multi-homer game of the season, and it's the second time in four contests he's driven in four runs. The 24-year-old is up to a .258/.307/.509 slash line with 11 long balls, 27 RBI, 25 runs scored and six stolen bases through 38 games.

Yu Darvish - Dazzles in win Darvish (4-4) earned the win Saturday over the Cubs, allowed two hits and a walk while striking out nine over seven shutout innings.
Impact Darvish had his worst start of the year versus the Yankees on Sunday, but he responded in a big way. This was the second time he's completed seven innings in 2023, and the three baserunners he allowed were a season low. The 36-year-old's performance has tailed off a bit -- he'd allowed at least four runs in three of his previous six starts before Saturday's dominant showing. Darvish is at a 4.10 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 68:18 K:BB through 63.2 innings through 11 outings this season. He'll look to build off this one, though he's projected for a challenging road start in Colorado his next time out.

Rougned Odor - May avoid trip to injured list The Padres believe that Odor (groin) may not need a trip to the injured list, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact As Cassavell notes on his report, this is an unexpected turn of events. Odor left Friday's loss to the Cubs after tweaking his groin while rounding first on a double, and Padres manager Bob Melvin told reporters that it was widely expected that Odor would need a stint on the injured list. The Padres will now wait a few days before making the decision, but the optimism suggests this could be a short stay on the IL if he is placed on the list early next week.
JUNE 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rougned Odor - Out as expected against Cubs Odor (groin) is not in the starting lineup against the Cubs on Saturday.
Impact Odor suffered a left groin strain in Friday's loss to the Cubs, and Padres manager Bob Melvin suggested that Odor was likely to be placed on the 10-day injured list. That hasn't occurred yet, but the infielder will miss Saturday's game as expected. Ha-Seong Kim gets the start at second base and will hit seventh with Odor out.
JUNE 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Manny Machado - Hitless in return Machado went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Friday's loss to the Cubs.
Impact Machado returned from a stint on the 10-day IL due to a left hand fracture, but he wasn't able to snap what is now a personal five-game hitless streak. The star third baseman has so far struggled to get going this season, as he's slashing just .225/.276/.363. Though the campaign is still relatively young, each part of that line would be a career-low mark for Machado, and he's also striking out a career-worst 21.3 percent of the time through 174 plate appearances.
