SAN DIEGO PADRES NEWS

Juan Soto - Headed to San Diego The Padres acquired Soto and Josh Bell from the Nationals on Tuesday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports. Washington will receive first baseman Luke Voit, infielder CJ Abrams, left-...

Impact San Diego will cough up a significant package of prospects to secure the services of Soto, who became the most sought-after player ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline after he recently declined the Nationals' reported 15-year, $440 million contract extension offer. The Padres are seemingly hopeful they can work out a long-term pact with Soto, but at least for the remainder of the season, the two-time All-Star will give the Friars lineup a significant lift as the team looks to make its first deep playoff run since 1998. Soto is unlikely to arrive in San Diego in time to play in either game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, but he could make his debut Wednesday.

Wil Myers - On base twice in return Myers (knee) went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.

Impact Myers missed over two months with the knee injury. His RBI in this contest came on a groundout in the first inning. Eric Hosmer (neck) is day-to-day, which could allow Myers to be eased back into action by picking up starts at first base. Ultimately, it's expected Myers mostly plays in right field when the Padres are at full health. The veteran has a .236/.283/.307 slash line with one home run, 20 RBI, 13 runs scored and no stolen bases in 33 contests this year, so he could slip into a part-time role if he doesn't hit well right away.

Trent Grisham - Swats solo shot Grisham went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.

Impact Grisham has hit safely in five straight games, but he hasn't recorded a multi-hit effort since July 7. He went yard four times in 24 games in July, and it didn't take the veteran outfielder long to smack a homer in August. For the season, he owns a .193/.288/.347 slash line with 11 long balls, 36 RBI, 40 runs scored and four stolen bases through 100 contests.

Jurickson Profar - Clubs another homer Profar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.

Impact Profar took the second pitch he saw in his first at-bat and sent it into the right-field seats. He was the only Padre with multiple hits in the contest, which marked his fifth two-hit game in his last seven. The 29-year-old is thriving atop the order with a .249/.349/.422 slash line, 12 homers -- four of which have come in the last seven games -- 45 RBI, 59 runs scored and five stolen bases through 417 plate appearances.

Luis García - Collects second save Garcia retired both batters he faced to earn the save in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.

Impact Nick Martinez pitched a scoreless eighth inning but allowed two hits in the ninth. Garcia then entered and escaped the jam on just four pitches to earn his second save in as many days. The right-hander appeared to be the next man up after Taylor Rogers was removed from the closer role, but the Padres' acquisition of Josh Hader from the Brewers on Monday suggests Garcia's time in the ninth inning is soon to end. He's still been an effective high-leverage option with a 3.18 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 42:12 K:BB, two saves and 18 holds through 39.2 innings this year.

Mike Clevinger - Picks up third win Clevinger (3-3) allowed a run on five hits and a hit batsman while striking out six in seven innings to earn the win Monday over the Rockies.

Impact Clevinger limited the damage to a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning. This was his third straight quality start as the right-hander looks to finally be back in dominant form after dealing with knee and triceps injuries earlier in the season. He's logged a 3.13 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 59:16 K:BB across 60.1 innings in 12 appearances (11 starts) this year. Clevinger is tentatively set to start on the road versus the Dodgers this weekend.

Nick Martinez - Returns from paternity leave Martinez was reinstated from the paternity list Monday.

Impact Martinez spent the weekend with his wife and newborn, but he has rejoined the Padres and will be available out of San Diego's bullpen moving forward. He figures to fill a key role in front of new closer Josh Hader.

Jorge Alfaro - Not starting Monday Alfaro isn't starting Monday against Colorado, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Alfaro has alternated starts behind the dish recently, and he'll take a seat after he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Sunday. Austin Nola is starting at catcher and batting eighth.

Wil Myers - Activated, starting Monday Myers (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting Monday against the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Myers was expected to return at some point during the Padres' weekend series against the Twins, but the team ultimately waited to activate him until Monday. The 31-year-old appeared in 14 rehab games over the last few weeks, and he hit .264 with four home runs, two doubles, eight runs and seven RBI. He's starting at first base Monday with Eric Hosmer (neck) out, and Myers should see regular playing time now that he's back to full health.

Reiss Knehr - Set to start Tuesday Knehr will start one of the two games San Diego will play against Colorado on Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact It's not yet known whether Knehr will start the first or second game in Tuesday's twin bill, but he is set to pitch for the Padres for the first time since July 12 and just the fourth time all season. Knehr has not allowed a run through 8.1 big-league innings in 2022.

AUGUST 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Eric Hosmer - Not starting Monday Hosmer (neck) isn't in the lineup Monday against the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Hosmer was removed from Sunday's game against the Twins due to a neck strain and will be out of the lineup for at least one matchup. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but Wil Myers will start at first base while Nomar Mazara starts in right field.

Nabil Crismatt - Secures fifth hold Crismatt earned a hold against Minnesota on Sunday by striking out two batters over a perfect inning.

Impact After Padres starter Sean Manaea completed six effective innings, Crismatt was brought in to protect a one-run lead. The righty reliever was excellent in the outing, throwing 11 of 13 pitches for strikes and fanning the final two batters he faced. Crismatt has notched a hold in three of his past five appearances and has thrown 4.2 scoreless innings over that span. He appears to be moving up in the bullpen pecking order after posting only one hold in 26 outings prior to July.
