Seth Lugo - Takes first loss of season Lugo (2-1) took the loss Friday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over six innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out six.
Impact Lugo pitched effectively against Arizona, but the Padres couldn't provide any run support. The right-hander has commanded the strike zone well this season, as he's walked no more than one batter in three of his four starts. The former Met has also kept hitters in the ballpark, with only one home run allowed thus far. The Louisiana native is tentatively slated to face the Cubs at Wrigley Field in his next start.

Matt Carpenter - Not in lineup Friday Carpenter is out of the lineup Friday versus the Diamondbacks.
Impact Nelson Cruz is serving as the Padres' designated hitter and batting sixth against the Diamondbacks and right-hander Zac Gallen. Carpenter homered and scored two runs in Thursday's series opener but holds a disappointing .167/.348/.361 overall slash line for the year.

Austin Nola - Sitting out Friday Nola is not in the lineup Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Trent Grisham - Knocks in four runs Thursday Grisham went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and four RBI in a 7-5 win against the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Impact Grisham entered the contest with just five RBI on the campaign despite having hit four homers. He nearly doubled his RBI total Thursday without going deep, plating a pair of runners with second-inning double and duplicating the feat with another double in the sixth. Grisham temporarily lost his starting job in center field last season due to prolonged struggles at the plate, but he's solidified an everyday role this year with a more reliable performance on offense. Through 20 games, he's slashing .233/.333/.493 with a 13.1 percent walk rate and a 26.2 percent strikeout rate.

Matt Carpenter - Hits second homer of year Carpenter went 1-for-1 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs scored in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Carpenter turned in a quality performance before being subbed out for Nelson Cruz. The former Yankee still has some work to do to become a reliable fantasy option, as he's slashing just .167/.348/.361 through Thursday's games.

Xander Bogaerts - Crushes long ball to left-center Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Thursday's 7-5 victory over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Bogaerts is red-hot to start off his Padres career, slashing .350/.418/.575 through Thursday's games. The veteran shortstop now has five home runs, and is well on pace to clear his total of 15 from last season.

Josh Hader - Notches sixth save of season Hader picked up the save in Thursday's 7-5 victory over the Diamondbacks. He fanned one hitter over a perfect inning.
Impact Hader is now tied for second in the league in saves through Thursday's games, and he's yet to blow a save this year. The southpaw has been in top form to start off the season, as he's allowed just one run over nine innings pitched.
APRIL 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Wacha - Turns in shaky outing Wacha did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and one walk over four innings in a 7-5 victory over Arizona. He struck out three.
Impact Wacha has now allowed 12 runs in his last 8.1 innings pitched. Outside of tossing six scoreless innings on 4/8, the right-hander has not been effective so far this season. The Iowa native has plenty of time to turn it around, but he's not a viable fantasy option at this current moment.
