Juan Soto - Plates two in victory Soto went 1-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Rockies.
Impact Soto picks up his first two RBI of the 2023 season on a single that scored Rougned Odor and Jose Azocar in the eighth inning. The outfielder has gotten off to a slow start over the first weekend with a slash of .091/.231/.091 over his three contests.

Matt Carpenter - Doubles home pair of runs Carpenter went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's victory over Colorado. He also walked.
Impact Carpenter doubled home Jake Cronenworth and Juan Soto to give the Padres a 4-0 lead in the second inning. The 37-year-old has already driven in three runs in 2023, and he should continue to see plenty of playing time against right-handed pitching as the designated hitter.

Xander Bogaerts - Hits first homer in victory Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a homer, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's victory over Colorado. He also walked twice.
Impact Bogaerts connected on his first homer of the season and first as a member of the Padres with a two-run blast off Jose Urena. The veteran infielder has gotten off to a sensational start with San Diego by picking up five hits in his first 10 at-bats with three of them going for extra bases.

Josh Hader - Fans two in non-save situation Hader fired a scoreless inning without allowing a hit while striking out two over an inning in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Rockies.
Impact Hader didn't get a save chance because it was a four-run cushion, but his season debut went well. The left-hander threw 12-of-16 pitches for strikes while showing off his impressive arsenal against an overmatched Colorado lineup. Hader is a good bet to be among the save leaders again in 2023.

Michael Wacha - Gets win in first SD start Wacha (1-0) earned the win Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks over six innings against the Rockies. He struck out two.
Impact Wacha breezed through the first four innings before allowing a run in the fifth on a fielder's choice off the bat to Ezequiel Tovar. The right-hander then struggled in the sixth; giving up three runs in that frame including a two-run homer by C.J. Cron. All in all a solid -- if unspectacular -- outing for Wacha in his first start as a member of the Padres. He's scheduled to go again in Atlanta next Saturday.

Jake Cronenworth - Agrees to seven-year extension Cronenworth and the Padres agreed to a seven-year extension Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Impact Cronenworth's contract won't start until 2024. Lin notes that the infielder has already passed his physical, and the deal is expected to be announced Saturday. The infielder struggled to a .239/.332/.390 slash, but did hit 17 homers and drive in 88 runs while making the All-Star team for the second time in his career. Cronenworth should remain an everyday player throughout his contract while seeing time at several defensive spots.
