Ryan Weathers - Starting Sunday against Dodgers Weathers will start Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Weathers will get the start Sunday to give Michael Wacha an extra day of rest with Wacha now starting Monday against the Royals. Weathers has pitched well in his 16 innings with the Padres this year with a 2.81 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 16 innings, but the Dodgers will provide a tough matchup for the 23-year-old southpaw.

David Dahl - Beginning rehab assignment Dahl (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A El Paso on Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Dahl has been on the injured list for just over a month due to a right quadriceps strain, but he's been cleared to return to game action at the minor-league level. Given the length of his absence, it wouldn't be surprising to see Dahl appear in multiple games with the Triple-A club before rejoining the Padres.

Rougned Odor - Hits first homer as Padre Odor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Minnesota on Thursday.

Impact Odor briefly gave San Diego a lead with his solo shot to right field in the fifth inning, though San Diego went on to lose. The long ball was the first of the campaign for Odor, who joined the Padres on a minor-league deal in early spring. Though he's remained on the big-league roster, the veteran has played sparingly, registering a .119/.213/.238 slash line over 47 plate appearances.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - Swats fifth homer Tatis went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's loss to the Twins.

Impact Tatis opened the game on a positive note for the Padres, smashing a homer to left field on Bailey Ober's first pitch. It was the young slugger's fifth long ball of the campaign, putting him one back of the team lead -- a stat made more impressive by the fact that he missed the first three weeks of the campaign. Tatis has complemented the homer total with a .280/.314/.512 slash line, 12 runs, 11 RBI and a stolen base over 86 plate appearances.

Yu Darvish - Fans seven in no-decision Darvish allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out seven batters in a no-decision against Minnesota on Thursday.

Impact Darvish was efficient in the outing, needing a modest 80 pitches (52 of which were strikes) to get through six frames. He departed with a one-run lead, but the Padres bullpen couldn't hold it, saddling Darvish with a no-decision. The right-hander nonetheless picked up his third quality start of the campaign and lowered his ERA to 3.16. Darvish also sports a 1.08 WHIP and 47:14 K:BB across 42.2 innings.
