San Diego Padres vs. Arizona Diamondbacks - News - September 28, 2024

Alek Jacob - Dispatched to Triple-AThe Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

ImpactSince returning to the majors at the end of August, Jacob has allowed three earned runs over 8.1 innings across three appearances, though he hasn't pitched in a game since Sept. 14. He'll now head back to the minors as the Padres sacrifice some of their bullpen depth to bring back Randy Vasquez, who will start Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Randy Vásquez - Promoted for startThe Padres recalled Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday ahead of his start versus Arizona.

ImpactVasquez allowed nine earned runs over 4.1 innings during his last MLB start Aug. 31 and turned in a 7.20 ERA over 15 frames to finish the season in Triple-A, but he'll be called upon nonetheless to get San Diego through its penultimate regular-season game Saturday. On top of his poor performance, the 25-year-old will match up against a Diamondbacks offense that boasts an .818 OPS since the start of September, making him an extremely unreliable streaming option. Alek Jacob was optioned to El Paso in a corresponding move.

Eugenio Suárez - Drives in run in lossSuarez went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 5-3 loss to San Diego.

ImpactSuarez was the lone Arizona batter to deliver with runners in scoring position during a stinging loss that put the Diamondbacks outside the final wild-card spot. He's been one of the Diamondbacks' hottest hitters this month, posting a line of .348/.390/.641 with eight home runs, 16 RBI and 22 runs over 24 contests. Suarez enters the weekend with 29 home runs and 99 RBI.

Pavin Smith - Rough night in fieldSmith started in right field, went 0-for-4 and couldn't track down a couple of flyballs in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Padres.

ImpactArizona manager Torey Lovullo went with Smith's offensive potential -- six homers, .310 average in September -- over Jake McCarthy, a better defender with more range. The move backfired immediately when Smith couldn't track down leadoff batter Luis Arraez's flyball that opened the door to San Diego's four-run first inning. Smith later couldn't track down another fly from Arraez in the fourth that turned into a triple and the Padres' fifth run. The loss left the Diamondbacks outside the final wild card spot with two games left and could lead to McCarthy replacing Smith on Saturday.
