Juan Soto - Launches second homer Soto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk during Saturday's 4-1 win against Atlanta.
Impact The 24-year-old started the scoring with a 428-foot shot to right-center field during the third inning and had his second multi-hit game of the season. Soto is hitting just .182 with two home runs through nine games, but he's still getting on base regularly with seven walks.

Josh Hader - Secures third save Hader allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-1 win over Atlanta. He struck out three.
Impact Hader struggled with his command early and put runners on first and second with no outs, but he rebounded to strike out the next three batters. The left-hander has yet to give up a run through four outings this season and has an 8:1 K:BB. Hader has thrown 46 pitches over the past two days, so manager Bob Melvin could turn to Luis Garcia, Steven Wilson or Tim Hill should a save situation arise Sunday.

Michael Wacha - Fans 10 over six scoreless Wacha (2-0) struck out 10 over six scoreless innings to earn the victory Saturday in Atlanta. He allowed two hits and one walk.
Impact The right-hander threw 61 of his 95 pitches for strikes and generated 16 whiffs, with just one runner moving beyond first base. Wacha struck out only two batters during his season debut, but he show off his swing-and-miss stuff Saturday. Through two starts with the Padres, Wacha has 3.00 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB across 12 innings.

David Dahl - Dealing with quad injury Padres manager Bob Melvin told reporters before Saturday's game against Atlanta that Dahl is dealing with an upper quad injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact As Cassavell notes in his report, this helps explain why right field has essentially become a platoon between Rougned Odor and Jose Azocar over the past few games. The outfielder could be available off the bench in the coming days, but it's also possible Dahl's unavailability could lead to a stint on the injured list.

Manny Machado - Swipes bag Friday Machado went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, two runs and a stolen base in a 5-4 win over Atlanta on Friday.
Impact Machado has hit pretty well so far this season, batting .310 through 32 plate appearances. However, he's yet to go deep, and Friday's double was just his second extra-base hit of the campaign. The two runs he scored and the theft he nabbed in the win were also his first of 2023, so perhaps he'll start racking up counting stats to complement the nice batting average.

Nelson Cruz - Drives in two runs Cruz went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI during Friday's 5-4 win against Atlanta.
Impact The veteran slugger started the scoring with an RBI double in the opening frame, and he brought home another run via an infield single an inning later. Cruz appears to be filling the small-side of a platoon at designated hitter and is 4-for-16 with a home run and three RBI in four games.

Josh Hader - Notches second save Hader struck out two and delivered a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Friday against Atlanta. He allowed a hit and didn't walk a batter.
Impact The left-hander surrendered a one-out single to Austin Riley but otherwise had no issues locking down the victory. Hader has looked as dominant as ever with a 5:0 K:BB through his first three outings of 2023.

Nick Martinez - Walks five in no-decision Martinez gave up four runs on four hits and five walks across 4.2 innings during Friday's 5-4 win over Atlanta. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact The 32-year-old was staked an early 3-0 lead but was unable to maintain the advantage. Martinez threw first-pitch strikes to 16 of the 23 batters he faced, but he struggled to put hitters away and tied a career high with five free passes. Through two starts the right-hander has a 6.17 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 9:7 K:BB across 11.2 innings.
