Trent Grisham - Homer, stolen base in win Grisham went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a steal in Thursday's victory over the Nationals.
Impact Grisham got the Padres on the board with a two-run shot off Jake Irvin in the second inning before picking up his first stolen base of the year in the sixth. Grisham will hope that Thursday's performance will get him back on track -- he'd gone just 4-for-46 with a .353 OPS in his previous 16 games. Overall, the 26-year-old outfielder is slashing .194/.313/.368 with five home runs, 14 RBI and 19 runs scored through 183 plate appearances this season.

Josh Hader - Locks down 13th save Hader picked up the save Thursday against Washington, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.
Impact Hader continued his dominant season Thursday, setting the Nationals down in order while recording two more strikeouts. The left-hander has allowed just one earned run in his last 16 innings, striking out 19 in that span. Hader's ERA is down to 0.86 with a 0.76 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB through 21 innings this season.

Rougned Odor - Homers, drives in five in victory Odor went 2-for-5 with a double, a homer and five RBI in Thursday's 8-6 victory over Washington.
Impact Odor extended the Padres' lead to 5-1 with a two-run double in the fifth inning before putting the Padres ahead with a three-run, two-out homer off Hunter Harvey in the ninth. Odor has homered in back-to-back games, giving him three longballs on the season. In his last four games, Odor is 7-for-15 with five extra-base hits and 11 RBI after going 8-for-53 with a .495 OPS to start the season. The veteran infielder is now slashing .221/.303/.426 with 14 RBI over 76 plate appearances while playing a part-time role in San Diego.

Blake Snell - Solid in no-decision Snell did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and four walks over five innings against Washington. He struck out six.
Impact Snell wasn't at his best Thursday, but he was able to work through traffic, holding the Nats to one first-inning run while striking out six. It's certainly a step in the right direction for Snell after he allowed six runs in a loss to Boston in his previous outing. Still, it's been a tough start to the year for the left-hander -- he's 1-6 with a 5.04 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 54:31 K:BB through 10 starts (50 innings).

Ha-Seong Kim - Could avoid injured list X-rays on Kim's left knee came back negative, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact Kim was carted off the field during Thursday's game against the Yankees after fouling a ball off his knee. Manager Bob Melvin said Kim is still likely to miss at least Friday's game, but that he may be able to avoid a stint on the injured list. Rougned Odor is the primary candidate to draw the start at second base with right-hander Grayson Rodriguez on the mound Friday.

Ha-Seong Kim - Carried off field Kim had to be carried off the field during Thursday's game against the Nationals after fouling a ball off his left knee, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.
Impact No details have been officially released yet, but early signs point toward Kim missing some time. If he is forced to sit out, Rougned Odor and Brandon Dixon figure to see an increased share of at-bats.

Manny Machado - Not expected back Friday Padres manager Bob Melvin said he doesn't expect Machado (hand) to be ready for activation from the IL when first eligible Friday, Byron Kerr of MLB.com reports.
Impact Machado has been doing a range of baseball activities to test the small fracture in his left hand, but there are still some important boxes for him to check -- mostly notably live batting practice. The star third baseman is aiming to return at some point during the Padres' three-game weekend series against the Yankees, though it's hard to put a guarantee on the timetable. He suffered the injury to his glove hand when he was hit by a pitch May 15 versus the Royals.

Padres pregame: Turning to Blake Snell for a rare series win Padres have lost five straight series heading into Thursday's rubber match with Washington Nationals
MAY 25, 2023 • SANDIEGOUNIONTRIBUNE.COM
Austin Nola - On bench again Thursday Nola is out of the lineup again Thursday against the Nationals.
Impact Brett Sullivan will make a second straight start at catcher and could continue to get regular looks versus right-handed pitching opponents, though neither backstop has been particularly productive with the bat this year. It's a situation to avoid in standard fantasy leagues.
MAY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nelson Cruz - Out of lineup Thursday Cruz is out of the lineup Thursday against the Nationals.
Impact Matt Carpenter will fill the DH role and bat fifth versus the Nats and right-hander Jake Irvin. Cruz, 42, is slashing just .152/.200/.152 with zero home runs through 35 plate appearances in May. He hasn't gone deep since April 29.

Rougned Odor - Pops second homer Odor went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Nationals.
Impact His fourth-inning shot off Trevor Williams got the Padres on the board, but they were already down 4-0 by that point. It's only the 29-year-old's second homer of the season, although both have come in his last 10 games -- a stretch in which Odor is batting .360 (9-for-25) with two doubles, a steal, four runs and seven RBI. With Ha-Seong Kim filling in for Manny Machado (hand) at third base, Odor has started four straight games at second base when a right-hander has been on the mound for the opposition.
