Ryan Weathers - In line for another start Weather is likely to make one more spot start for the Padres before Joe Musgrove (toe) returns, MLB.com reports.
Impact Weather pitched well in his season debut versus the Diamondbacks and is lined up for another turn on Monday against the Mets. After that, the left-hander will slide back to a long relief role or perhaps join the Triple-A El Paso rotation.

Joe Musgrove - Likely needs one more rehab start Musgrove (toe) will most likely need one more rehab start before rejoining the Padres' rotation, MLB.com reports.
Impact Musgrove was solid at Triple-A El Paso on Thursday, allowing three runs -- two earned -- over 4.1 innings, permitting five hits and one walk while striking out six. There's still a chance he returns April 11 as initially anticipated, but it sounds like the Padres are leaning toward giving him an additional rehab start before activating him next weekend. "We have a lot of things to consider," manager Bob Melvin said. "Obviously we'd love to get him back, but we also have to realize it's a long season, and this is a guy that we're going to need for the long game, too." If Musgrove does indeed make one more rehab start, Ryan Weathers would be in line for another start next week against the Mets.

Jake Cronenworth - Slugs first homer of 2023 Cronenworth went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and three total runs Thursday in a loss to Atlanta.
Impact Cronenworth reached base three times in the contest and scored half of San Diego's runs. He temporarily tied the score with a solo homer in the sixth inning for his first long ball and first RBI of the campaign. Cronenworth is slashing .217/.333/.435 through 27 plate appearances this season.

Matt Carpenter - Belts first long ball of season Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in a loss to Atlanta on Thursday.
Impact Carpenter's lone hit of the game was a big one, as his three-run homer off Spencer Strider in the third inning gave San Diego its first lead. The long ball was the veteran's first as a Padre, and it gave him six RBI through six games this season. Carpenter has posted a .250/.400/.500 slash line over 20 plate appearances as the team's primary DH.

Blake Snell - Can't get out of fourth inning Snell pitched 3.2 innings against Atlanta on Thursday, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks while striking out two batters. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact Snell gave up a single run in each of the first and third innings, but a Matt Carpenter three-run homer in the top of the fourth staked him to a 3-2 lead. The left-hander was unable to hold that advantage, however, as he allowed five batters to reach base -- the final three by walk -- in the bottom of the frame before being forced to exit. Control has long been an issue for Snell, and he's off to a poor start in that regard this season with five walks over his first eight innings. He's also given up seven earned runs, and though his strikeout potential is tantalizing, he's not going to be able to go very deep into games if he's unable to get the free passes under control.
