Fernando Tatis Jr. - Homers in Triple-A game Tatis (suspension) went 1-for-2 with a solo homer, two walks and two runs scored Wednesday with Triple-A El Paso.
Impact That solo shot sailed 406 feet. Tatis is now 2-for-4 with four walks, one home run, two RBI, one stolen base and three runs scored through two games played at the Triple-A level. It sure looks like the 24-year-old superstar is going to be clicking on all cylinders for the Padres -- and for fantasy managers -- when he returns April 20 from his PED suspension.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - Reaches thrice in Triple-A game Tatis (suspension) went 1-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base, a run and an RBI in an appearance for Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Impact Tatis played in the first game of his rehab assignment with El Paso, which was also the first Triple-A appearance of his career. The star shortstop didn't appear to have any rust, as he singled home a run in the sixth inning after walking in two previous trips to the plate. Tatis also swiped a bag in the contest, serving as a reminder of the stolen-base potential he'll bring to fantasy squads once eligible to return to the Padres from his suspension April 20.

Trent Grisham - Swats second long ball Grisham went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Impact With the Padres down three runs in the ninth inning, Grisham narrowed the deficit with his two-out solo shot to right field, though San Diego didn't put any more runs on the board. The outfielder has started the season well, reaching base in all six of the Padres' games thus far. After struggling to a .184/.284/.341 slash line last season, Grisham has looked better to begin 2023, slashing .238/.333/.619 with two homers, two doubles, two RBI and four runs through 24 plate appearances.

Xander Bogaerts - Remains red hot Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a home run, two total runs and two total RBI in Monday's loss to Arizona.
Impact Bogaerts belted a two-run shot in the fifth inning, marking the third time in his past four games that he has gone deep. The shortstop has enjoyed a blazing beginning to his Padres career, notching at least one hit in each of his first six games and slashing .409/.440/.955 with three homers, seven RBI and five runs over that span. Bogaerts hit a modest 15 homers in 150 games with Boston last season, but he has hit as many as 33 long balls in an MLB campaign (in 2019 with the Red Sox).

Nelson Cruz - Cracks first Padres homer Cruz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-6 loss against the Diamondbacks.
Impact He took a poorly-located Zac Gallen fastball over the wall in left field to become the second-oldest player in Padres history with a long ball, per Sarah Langs of MLB.com. The 42-year-old Cruz still has impressive power, but he has not yet made a start against a right-handed pitcher this season (Cruz entered Tuesday's game after Manny Machado was ejected for arguing about a pitch clock violation in the first inning). Expect Cruz to continue seeing most of his starts against lefties for the time being.

Yu Darvish - Walks four in season debut Darvish did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and four walks over five innings in an 8-6 loss to Arizona. He struck out three.
Impact Due to limited usage in the World Baseball Classic, Darvish's season debut was pushed back as he needed a bit more time to build up his arm. While this wasn't his most dominant outing in terms of whiffs, and his command was spotty at times, Darvish completed five frames on 91 pitches and left with the lead. He will look to build on this performance his next time out in what projects as a road matchup against the Mets.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - Leading off for El Paso Tatis (suspension) is leading off and playing right field Tuesday for Triple-A El Paso.
Impact Tatis is beginning his rehab assignment Tuesday and will square off against Triple-A Sacramento. The 23-year-old star is suspended until April 20, so he'll likely play two weeks of games in the Pacific Coast League until he rejoin the San Diego lineup.
