Luis García - Grabs win in relief Garcia (1-2) earned the win over San Francisco on Sunday, striking out two batters over two scoreless innings.
Impact Garcia got the call from the bullpen for San Diego in the seventh inning with the Giants up a run. He worked around a one-out Xander Bogaerts error in the seventh and a two-out hit-by-pitch in the eighth to keep San Francisco off the scoreboard and was credited with the win when the Padres tallied three runs in the ninth. Garcia has an unattractive 7.11 ERA on the campaign through 12.2 innings, though that's mostly due to two blow-ups. In two separate games against Arizona, he allowed a combined nine earned runs over two-thirds of an inning; in his other 11 appearances, he has yielded just one earned run over 12.0 frames.

Domingo Tapia - Recalled from El Paso The Padres recalled Tapia from Triple- El Paso on Monday.
Impact Tapia has already been up and down with the Padres, and it's likely he'll continue to make the trip from El Paso to San Diego a few more times in 2023. The right-hander will be a low-leverage option while he's with the Padres in this stint. Ray Kerr was sent to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Ray Kerr - Optioned to Triple-A San Diego optioned Kerr to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.
Impact Kerr is sent down to make room for Domingo Tapia after Tapia was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding transaction. Kerr appeared in two games with the Padres while throwing 1.1 scoreless innings, and he should be back with San Diego as an up-and-down option in the coming weeks.

Brandon Dixon - Returns to Triple-A The Padres optioned Dixon to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.
Impact Dixon was up with the Padres for the weekend as the big club's 27th man for its two-game series with the Giants in Mexico City. He didn't appear in either contest and should now settle back into a near-everyday role with El Paso during Pacific Coast League play.

Matt Carpenter - In DH spot Carpenter is starting at designated hitter and batting fifth for the Padres in Monday's game against the Reds, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Carpenter has been swinging a hot bat, going 8-for-17 with two home runs and 10 RBI over his last seven contests. It's been a pretty strict platoon between Carpenter and Nelson Cruz at DH for the Padres, with Carpenter also seeing the occasional start at first base.

Matt Carpenter - Plates two runs Sunday Carpenter went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Giants in Mexico City.
Impact After sitting against lefty Sean Manaea on Saturday in the first contest of the two-game set in Mexico City, Carpenter drew back into the starting nine Sunday while Ha-Seong Kim received the day off. Carpenter proceeded to help the Padres complete their comeback from an early 4-0 deficit, with his two-run double in the bottom of the eighth breaking a tie and effectively serving as the game-winning hit. He concluded April with a seven extra-base hits (two home runs, five doubles) and 10 RBI in his final seven games of the month.
