Blake Snell - Starting Game 2 Snell will start Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series on Saturday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Yu Darvish is getting the starting nod for Friday's series opener, and Snell will draw the Game 2 start over Joe Musgrove, who is a likely candidate to start Game 3 if needed. Snell was dominant over his final four regular-season starts, posting a 0.72 ERA, 32:6 K:BB and 0.64 WHIP in 25 innings over that stretch. He last pitched Sunday, so he'll be fully rested for Saturday's matchup.

Impact Clevinger was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday, but he should be in the mix to be on the Padres' postseason roster now that he's tested negative. It's not yet clear whether the right-hander will be part of the team's playoff rotation, but he'll at least be an option to pitch as long as he continues to test negative.

The MLB postseason bracket is set! Take a look at how the playoffs will shake out beginning Friday!OCTOBER 6, 2022
Craig Stammen - Takes loss in spot start Stammen (1-2) took the loss against San Francisco on Wednesday, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three batters over three-plus innings.
Impact Mike Clevinger was originally lined up to start San Diego's regular-season finale, but he was pulled and placed on the IL due to an illness. Stammen stepped in and did what he could to preserve the Padres' bullpen a bit ahead of the wild-card series against the Mets that begins Friday, going a season-high three innings and tossing 69 pitches -- the most he's thrown in a game since 2010, per Dennis Lin of The Athletic. The right-hander held San Francisco scoreless through two frames but gave up a run in the third and four more in the fourth, with two crossing the plate after his departure. Stammen finished the regular season with a 4.43 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB over 40.2 innings. It's unclear if he'll be on the team's wild-card roster, but his lengthy outing Wednesday may indicate that he'll be unavailable for several days.
