Ray Kerr - Rejoins big club The Padres recalled Kerr from Triple-A El Paso prior to Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Kerr joined the San Diego bullpen as a replacement for Nabil Crismatt (hip), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Over his six appearances at El Paso this season, the lefty struck out six over 6.1 innings while pitching to a 2.84 ERA and 1.64 WHIP.

Nabil Crismatt - Sidelined with hip injury The Padres placed Crismatt on the 15-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game against Atlanta with a left hip strain.
Impact San Diego called up lefty Ray Kerr from Triple-A El Paso to fill Crismatt's spot in the bullpen. Crismatt has mostly worked in lower-leverage spots this season, submitting a 10.80 ERA and 2.20 WHIP across 10 innings through his first six relief appearances.

Rougned Odor - Losing work in right field Odor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Though Atlanta is bringing a right-hander (Charlie Morton) to the hill for the series finale, the lefty-hitting Rougned Odor will give way to the righty-hitting Jose Azocar in right field. With a .115 average and a 33.3 percent strikeout rate through his 30 plate appearances to date, Odor appears to have lost hold of a strong-side platoon role, and he could soon be in danger of losing his roster spot. Fernando Tatis (suspension) is due to be reinstated to the 26-man active roster Thursday and will take over everyday duties in right field, and Odor could be deemed expendable and may be designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Matt Carpenter - In DH spot Wednesday Carpenter is starting at designated hitter and batting fifth for the Padres in Wednesday's game versus the Braves, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact It's the second straight start for Carpenter after Nelson Cruz served as the DH for four of the previous five contests. Carpenter will still probably get most of the starts against righties for now, but he'll need to pick it up because Cruz has out-produced him so far by a wide margin.

Blake Snell - Loses third game in four starts Snell (0-3) took the loss Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks over five innings in a 8-1 loss against the Braves. He struck out five.
Impact Snell had his best outing of the young season, but the Padres' lack of run support led to him taking another loss. The southpaw gave up his lowest run and hit totals of the year, a welcome sight for fantasy managers. However, the eight-year veteran hasn't pitched more than five innings in a game this year, and has given up multiple runs in each start. The Seattle native will look to get back to his usual good form against the Diamondbacks in a few days.

Joe Musgrove - To make 2023 debut Saturday Padres manager Bob Melvin announced Tuesday that Musgrove (toe/shoulder) will make his season debut Saturday in Arizona, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Impact Yu Darvish has been pushed back to Sunday's series finale against the Diamondbacks. Musgrove got knocked around a bit on his two-start minor-league rehab assignment, but he also struck out 14 batters and issued only one walk across 9.1 innings. Recovered from a fractured toe and minor shoulder scare, the 30-year-old right-hander can be a top-flight fantasy starter the rest of the way.
APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Yu Darvish - Start pushed back to Sunday Darvish is now scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact Darvish was originally scheduled to get the ball Saturday against Arizona, but Joe Musgrove is now going to make his season debut in that contest, so the ace of the Padres will be moved to Sunday.

Brett Sullivan - Making big-league debut Tuesday Sullivan will start at catcher and bat ninth in his MLB debut Tuesday against Atlanta.
Impact The 29-year-old could get a handful of starts behind the plate for the Padres while Luis Campusano recovers from a left thumb sprain. Campusano was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday and Austin Nola is on the bench Tuesday. Sullivan was sporting an .800 OPS with one home run and three stolen bases through nine games this season at Triple-A El Paso.
APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Austin Nola - Out of lineup Tuesday Nola isn't starting Tuesday against Atlanta, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact After recording a base hit for the third consecutive game Monday, Nola will get a day off Tuesday so that Brett Sullivan can make his MLB debut and bat ninth.

Drew Pomeranz - Cleared for rehab assignment Pomeranz (neck/elbow) is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Single-A Lake Elsinore.
Impact Pomeranz was supposed to begin appearing in minor-league games last week before a neck strain caused a short delay. He hasn't thrown a pitch at the MLB level since August 2021 due to flexor tendon surgery, but that could change by the end of this month.
