Ha-Seong Kim - Posts 11th steal Kim went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 loss to the White Sox.
Impact Kim hit just .207 (19-for-92) in September, adding three home runs, four doubles, seven RBI, eight runs scored and two steals in 25 contests. The shortstop nonetheless has maintained a near-everyday role. He's at a .248/.320/.375 slash line with 11 steals, 10 homers, 56 RBI and 56 runs scored through 146 games this season.

Yu Darvish - Yields three runs in loss Darvish (16-8) allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings, taking the loss Friday versus the White Sox.
Impact Darvish threw 70 of 104 pitches for strikes in a solid outing, but he was responsible for all three of the White Sox's runs. The right-hander had won six straight starts entering Friday, though he managed to extend his streak of quality starts to eight. For the year, he has a 3.10 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 197:37 K:BB through 194.2 innings across 30 starts. Darvish is tentatively lined up for a home start versus San Francisco next week, though it's unclear if he'll ultimately pitch again in the regular season or be saved until the playoffs should the Padres secure their spot.

Jose Azocar - Sitting out Friday Azocar isn't starting Friday against the White Sox, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact After going hitless with five strikeouts in his last 13 at-bats, Azocar will get a day off Friday. In his place, Trent Grisham will start in center field and bat ninth.

Pierce Johnson - Blitzed by Dodgers Johnson (1-2) took the loss and was charged with a blown save against the Dodgers on Thursday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two batters over two...
Impact San Diego held a one-run lead when Johnson entered in the sixth inning, but he surrendered a hit to each of the first three batters he faced to allow Los Angeles to tie the score. The righty nearly got out of the frame without further damage, but a two-out, two-run single off the bat of Miguel Vargas put the Dodgers ahead and resulted in Johnson's departure. It was the second time this season Johnson has allowed three runs in an appearance, though he's held the opponent scoreless in each of his other 11 outings.

Jurickson Profar - Racks up three hits Profar went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Profar extended his hitting streak to seven games with the solid performance from the leadoff spot Thursday. In that span, he's gone 12-for-29 (.414) with six runs scored and three extra-base hits. The left fielder lifted his season slash line to .245/,333.,396 with 15 home runs, 58 RBI, 61 runs scored and five stolen bases through a career-high 147 contests.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Manaea - Allows one run Thursday Manaea did not factor into the decision Thursday versus the Dodgers, allowing one run on two hits while striking out three and walking none in four innings.
Impact Manaea worked behind an opener Thursday, and the role appeared to suit him well. He'd given up five runs across his previous 8.2 innings entering the contest, but he had better results this time despite throwing only 38 of 62 pitches for strikes. The southpaw has a 5.15 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 150:49 K:BB across 152 innings through 29 outings this year, though his second-half struggles likely mean he'll operate out of the bullpen during the Padres' playoff run. He's tentatively set for one more regular-season outing next week versus the Giants.

Austin Nola - Sitting out Thursday Nola isn't starting Thursday against the Dodgers, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact After going 5-for-11 in his last four games, Nola will get a day off against Los Angeles. Luis Campusano will take over behind the plate for him and bat eighth.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Bell - Remains out of lineup Thursday Bell isn't starting Thursday against the Dodgers, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Bell has gone 0-for-15 with two runs, an RBI, four walks and a strikeout over his last six games, and he'll take a seat for the third time in the last four matchups. Brandon Dixon is serving as the designated hitter and batting seventh.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Manaea - Likely to work behind opener Manaea is expected to work in bulk relief behind Steven Wilson, who is scheduled to serve as the Padres' opening pitcher in Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Kevin Acee of The S...
Impact The Padres gave Manaea just under a two-week break from the rotation earlier this month, but the lefty didn't show major improvement in his subsequent two starts. While pitching on the road in Arizona and Colorado his last two times out, Manaea struck out five over 8.2 innings while allowing five earned runs on nine hits and three walks. Manager Bob Melvin will experiment with Manaea behind an opener Thursday as the southpaw gets some early exposure to the bullpen role he would likely fill for the Friars during a potential postseason run.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Steven Wilson - Tabbed to open Thursday Wilson will start Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wilson has a 2.88 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 50:18 K:BB across 50 innings this year, and he'll make his first career start as the opener in Thursday's series finale. The rookie right-hander is unlikely to qualify for a potential victory and should give way to the bullpen after an inning or two.
