Juan Soto - Clubs third homer Soto went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.
Impact He accounted for all the Padres' offense by taking Tylor Megill deep in the first inning. Soto has four multi-hit performances in the last eight games but zero hits in the other four contests during that stretch, and on the season he's batting .217 (10-for-46) with three doubles, three homers, one steal, seven RBI and eight runs.

Blake Snell - Control issues Wednesday Snell (0-2) took the loss Wednesday, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits and five walks over five-plus innings as the Padres fell 5-2 to the Mets. He struck out five.
Impact The southpaw threw only 53 of 100 pitches for strikes, and after issuing free passes to Jeff McNeil and Tommy Pham to lead off the bottom of the sixth inning, Snell got the hook. The 30-year-old has a 6.92 ERA and 16:10 K:BB through three starts and 13 innings to kick off the season, and he'll need to find the plate more often if he's going to trim down his ratios. Snell will try to get on track in his next outing, likely to come early next week at home against Atlanta.

Joe Musgrove - Could make rehab start Friday According to Padres manager Bob Melvin, Musgrove (toe, shoulder) resumed throwing Tuesday and could make his next rehab start as soon as Friday, Bill Center of FriarWire reports.
Impact After fracturing his left toe in February, Musgrove made first minor-league rehab appearance April 6, but he hurt his right shoulder while diving to field a ball during the outing. The right-hander subsequently received a cortisone shot and has now resumed throwing, so the shoulder issue doesn't appear to be major. Melvin indicated that the team could determine the date of Musgrove's next rehab start Thursday and suggested that the outing could take place as soon as the following day. It's not yet clear whether Musgrove will need to make one or two more rehab appearances before being activated from the IL, but it appears that he could make his Padres season debut in mid-to-late April.

Luis Campusano - Collects three hits Tuesday Campusano went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs in Tuesday's 4-2 win against the Mets.
Impact Campusano came into the contest having gone 1-for-11 on the campaign, and the first three-hit game of his career boosted his season average all the way up to .267. The trio of base knocks didn't come cheaply, as all three left Campusano's bat at least 98.5 mph, per Dennis Lin of The Athletic. Austin Nola has been the clear No. 1 option behind the plate for San Diego this season with eight starts through the team's first 12 games, and he's back in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale. However, Nola is slashing a meager .115/.207/.115 thus far in 2023, so Campusano could start to see more opportunities if the former's offense doesn't pick up.

Ha-Seong Kim - Getting Wednesday off Kim is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Impact Kim will get a breather for just the second time through the Padres' first 13 games, paving the way for Rougned Odor to pick up a start at the keystone. In Tuesday's 4-2 win over New York, Kim went 1-for-3 with his first stolen base of the season.

Xander Bogaerts - Slugs fourth homer Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Mets.
Impact With the Padres clinging to a 2-1 lead in the top of the ninth inning, Bogaerts gave his team what proved to be crucial insurance runs by taking a hanging slider from Dennis Santana deep to left field. The shortstop is thriving in his new uniform, slashing .333/.426/.667 through 12 games with three doubles, four homers, 10 runs, 10 RBI, a steal and a sharp 8:5 BB:K.

Josh Hader - Notches fourth save Hader gave up one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two in the ninth inning Tuesday, but he still recorded his fourth save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Mets.
Impact Only 16 of his 31 pitches found the strike zone as Hader made things interesting in the bottom of the ninth, and his line would have been worse had a hit by pitch on Mark Canha not been ruled a swing that resulted in the closer's first punchout of the night. Hader's a perfect 4-for-4 on save chances to begin the season with a 1.80 ERA and dominant 10:3 K:BB through five innings.
APRIL 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Weathers - Collects first win Weathers (1-0) picked up the win in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.
Impact New York opened the scoring in the fourth inning on a Mark Canha sacrifice fly, but San Diego struck back with two runs in the top of the fifth to get Weathers his first win of the year. The 23-year-old southpaw has yet to last longer than five innings in a start, exiting after 89 pitches (55 strikes) Tuesday, but with Joe Musgrove (toe/shoulder) not close to returning, Weathers' spot in the rotation seems secure. He'll likely make the mound for his next outing early next week at home against Atlanta.

Robert Suarez - Shut down from throwing Suarez (elbow) has been shut down from throwing after experiencing tightness in his right elbow while playing catch, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Suarez was placed on the 15-day IL on March 30 due to stiffness and inflammation in his right elbow. He began playing catch April 1 but is no longer throwing due to the setback. The right-hander had an MRI that revealed no ligament damage in the tight elbow, but it's uncertain when he'll be able to resume throwing. Suarez is unlikely to rejoin the Padres bullpen until at least May.

Drew Pomeranz - Set for rehab outing Pomeranz (elbow) will make a minor-league rehab appearance with Triple-A El Paso on Thursday, Sammy Levitt of 97.3 The Fan reports.
Impact Pomeranz was thought to be close to pitching in games in mid-March, but he suffered a setback after tossing a few sim games and was eventually placed on the injured list to begin the season. He appears to be back on the road to recovery from the August 2021 flexor tendon surgery that wiped out all of his 2022 campaign, but he'll likely need at least a few rehab appearances before joining San Diego's bullpen. Pomeranz last appeared in a major-league contest Aug. 10, 2021.

Impact Dixon was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday and will make his first major-league appearance of the season Tuesday versus the Mets and left-handed starter David Peterson. The 31-year-old is a versatile defender but carries a rough .228/.269/.407 career big-league batting line.
