Impact Crismatt has been out of action since mid-April due to a left hip strain. He's been doing some throwing at the Padres' training facility in Arizona, but given that he hasn't yet been able to resume mound work, his return timeline appears uncertain.

Drew Pomeranz - Showing improvement Pomeranz is experiencing reduced discomfort in his left arm, and he could resume his throwing progression soon, per MLB.com.
Impact Pomeranz was pulled from a minor-league rehab assignment after just one game in late April as a result of discomfort in his throwing arm, but the issue has reportedly "mostly subsided." The veteran reliever appears to have a chance to start throwing again soon, though the Padres way want to be cautious given the series of setbacks Pomeranz has experienced as he's attempted to work his way back to the big club. The 34-year-old hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021.

Xander Bogaerts - Swipes two bags Bogaerts went 0-for-3 with two walks, one RBI and two stolen bases in Friday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Bogaerts wasn't able to hit safely Friday, but he drew multiple walks for the sixth time this season. His pair of steals were his first thefts since April 10. The shortstop has gone 11 games without a multi-hit effort, going just 6-for-40 during that slight slump. He's down to a .283/.379/.467 slash line with six home runs, three steals, 14 RBI, 22 runs scored and four doubles through 32 contests in his first year with the Padres.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - Homers twice in win Tatis went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Tatis tagged Clayton Kershaw for both long balls, a solo shot in the third inning and a two-run blast in the fifth. Prior to Friday, Tatis had gone 0-for-9 across his last two contests. The 24-year-old is up to four homers, nine RBI, eight runs scored and two doubles while slashing .267/.302/.500 over 13 games since he was reinstated from a PED suspension.

Josh Hader - Converts 11th save Hader allowed a walk and struck out two in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Friday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Hader needed 18 pitches (nine strikes), but he was able to go unscathed for his 10th straight appearance. He has a 10:3 K:BB in 10 innings while adding seven saves over that span. After a rough second half of 2022, Hader has looked locked in to start 2023, posting a 0.60 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 20:6 K:BB through 15 innings overall. His 11 saves lead the majors.
MAY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Yu Darvish - Rebounds nicely Friday Darvish (2-2) earned the win Friday over the Dodgers, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out six over 6.2 innings.
Impact Darvish gave up one run in each of the first and seventh innings, and he was tough to hit in between those hiccups. The right-hander rebounded from giving up three homers in last appearance, though that one came at altitude in Mexico City last Sunday. This was Darvish's second quality start in six outings this season, and he has a 3.19 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB through 36.2 innings. He's on track for a road start in Minnesota next week.
