Rougned Odor - In Thursday's lineup Odor is starting at second base and batting eighth for the Padres on Thursday in Minnesota.
Impact It's the second straight start for Odor after he went a week without playing. The 29-year-old has scuffled this season to the tune of just four hits in 38 at-bats.

Matt Carpenter - On the bench Thursday Carpenter is not in the Padres' lineup Thursday in Minnesota.
Impact The Twins are starting right-hander Bailey Ober, but Carpenter will take a seat as Manny Machado serves as the designated hitter and Ha-Seong Kim plays third base. Rougned Odor will get a shot at the keystone.

Jake Cronenworth - Three walks, one steal in loss Cronenworth went 0-for-1 with three walks and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Twins.
Impact Cronenworth hasn't hit much lately, but he's drawn 10 walks over his last five games. While he's batting .236 on the season and has gone just 2-for-11 in that five-game sample, his .356 on-base percentage and career-best 14.2 percent walk rate for the year show why the Padres have opted to move him to second in the order for the last two games. The 29-year-old has three home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored, two steals, eight doubles and two triples through 36 contests overall.
MAY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Juan Soto - Fills box score Wednesday Soto went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Twins.
Impact The pair of steals were Soto's first since April 7. He'd also gone eight games without a homer before his seventh-inning blast. The outfielder has turned things around by going 16-for-40 (.400) over his last 11 games. He's now at a .246/.406/.454 slash line with six long balls, 18 RBI, 21 runs scored and three steals in four attempts through 37 contests this season.
MAY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Hader - Takes second blown save Hader allowed an unearned run on a hit and walk while striking out three in one inning, taking a blown save in Wednesday's extra-innings loss to the Twins.
Impact After converting 11 straight save opportunities to begin the year, Hader's blown his last two save chances. He gave up a leadoff RBI single to Donovan Solano in the 10th inning, which retied the game at 3-3 after the Padres had pulled ahead in the top of the frame. Hader has yet to allow multiple runs in an appearance, so he's avoided the epic meltdowns that plagued him during parts of the 2022 season. He has a 1.06 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 23:7 K:BB through 17 innings this season.
MAY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Seth Lugo - Pitches well in no-decision Lugo allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Wednesday.
Impact Four of the five hits Lugo allowed went for extra bases, but he allowed just one baserunner over his final three frames to limit the damage. The Padres got him off the hook by tying the game in the eighth inning. He's posted quality starts in five of his seven starts this season, en route to a 3.18 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 36:9 K:BB through 39.2 innings. Lugo's tentatively projected for a favorable home start versus the Royals early next week.

Juan Soto - Tallies four hits Tuesday Soto went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and a run in Tuesday's 6-1 victory against the Twins.
Impact Soto's perfect day at the plate included his eighth and ninth doubles of the season, with six of those coming this month. Though he hasn't homered since April 29, the surge in two-baggers may suggest that Soto is starting to get into a groove at the plate. As it stands now, he's slashing just .244/.400/.433 on the campaign, well below his career norm. Soto has added five homers, 17 RBI, 20 runs, one steal and a 33:36 BB:K.

Austin Nola - Gets Wednesday off vs. Twins Nola is not in the starting lineup against the Twins on Wednesday.
Impact Nola will take a seat after going 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in the victory over Minnesota on Tuesday. Brett Sullivan is starting behind the plate and hitting ninth for Wednesday's affair.
MAY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ha-Seong Kim - Takes seat Wednesday Kim is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Impact Kim will get a day of rest against Pablo Lopez and Minnesota for the second game of the series. Rougned Odor is starting at second base in Kim's place and will hit seventh.
MAY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Fernando Tatis Jr. - Notches first theft Tatis went 0-for-5 with a run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-1 win against Minnesota.
Impact Tatis didn't have a good day at the plate, as he struck out twice and didn't collect any hits. However, his stolen base in the seventh inning following a fielder's choice helped generated a Padres run. The theft was a welcome sight for Tatis' fantasy managers, who no doubt are counting on him to provide much more in that category than he has so far this season. After swiping 52 bags over his first 273 major-league games, Tatis entered Tuesday with no thefts on one attempt through his first 15 contests of 2023.

Drew Pomeranz - Resuming rehab assignment Pomeranz (arm) will join Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday to begin a rehab assignment.
Impact Pomeranz opened the season on the 15-day injured list while he continued to recover from left elbow flexor tendon surgery, and though he started up a rehab assignment April 18, he made just three appearances before being shut down after experiencing renewed discomfort in his surgically repaired arm. He was idle for about a week before he resumed throwing again, and he now appears ready to test himself in a competitive setting. Expect Pomeranz to make at least a couple of appearances for El Paso before the Padres consider activating him.
