Luis Rengifo’s pinch-hit homer wins it for Padres

Luis Rengifo

SD 3rd Baseman #21

Player Stats

Luis Rengifo went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 win over the Marlins on Friday.

Rengifo was the hero here. He was called upon to pinch-hit for catcher Luis Campusano and he launched a back-door sweeper from Marlins’ reliever Tyler Zuber out over the right field fence. He’s now appeared in seven games since being picked up by the Padres after the Brewers released him and has gone 10-for-23 with two home runs.

Luis Rengifo went 2-for-4 and hit his fourth homer Sunday versus the Guardians.

The Padres got four homers today from players who had combined for 22 previously this season (15 from Gavin Sheets, three from Rengifo and Jake Cronenworth and one from Jase Bowen). Rengifo is hitting .323/.411/.473 in 27 games for the Padres. All four of his homers have come with his new team; he went without one in 57 games with the Brewers.

SD Left Fielder #21

Luis Rengifo is on the Padres’ bench Saturday for the first time since July 24.

The Padres are giving Luis Campusano a very rare start at DH with Freddy Fermin catching tonight, so there’s no room for Rengifo against a lefty. The switch-hitting Rengifo is hitting just .213/.283/.278 versus southpaws this season, though he’s at .344/.417/.469 in 37 plate appearances against them since joining the Padres and he’s been better versus lefties over the course of his career.
Luis Rengifo

SD Left Fielder #21

Luis Rengifo went 2-for-4 and hit his first career grand slam Tuesday in the Padres’ 11-2 massacre of the Brewers.

Showing off against the club that signed him last winter, Rengifo improved to .321/.415/.457 with three homers in 24 games for the Padres. He hit .205/.280/.254 in 57 games with the Brewers, but they’re surely not bitter at all.
Gavin Sheets

SD 1st Baseman #30

Even though the Padres are facing a right-hander, Gavin Sheets is again on the bench Saturday against the Giants.

Sheets already sat versus lefties on Thursday and Friday, but now he’s sitting in favor Luis Rengifo versus a righty, too. Sheets is currently in a 5-for-50 slump. He hasn’t had an extra-base hit since July 2.
Gavin Sheets

SD 1st Baseman #30

Gavin Sheets is not in the Padres’ starting lineup for Thursday evening’s battle against the Giants.

Sheets will get a breather in this one with a left-hander toeing the slab for the Giants. Luis Rengifo will function as the club’s designated hitter in his place and will bat second for the Padres on Thursday night in San Diego.
Luis Rengifo

SD 3rd Baseman #13

Padres selected the contract of INF/OF Luis Rengifo from Triple-A El Paso.

Rengifo receives the call to replace an injured Samad Taylor (oblique) on San Diego’s bench after latching on with the organization back in late June. The versatile 29-year-old was cut loose by the Brewers last month after hitting .205//280/.254 with zero homers and three steals across 209 plate appearances in 57 games. He’s a part-time role player at this stage of his career.
Luis Rengifo

SD 3rd Baseman #13

Padres signed INF Luis Rengifo to a minor league contract.

Rengifo winds up in a decent situation with a relatively unobstructed path to at-bats with the Padres just a few days after being released by the Brewers. The 29-year-old offers some defensive versatility and makes sense for San Diego in a reserve role. He’s likely to spend some time at Triple-A El Paso before he gets another look in the big leagues.
Luis Rengifo

FA 3rd Baseman #13

Brewers released INF Luis Rengifo.

Rengifo was horrible in his limited time with the Brewers as seen in a .205/.280/.254 slash over 209 plate appearances. He’ll now be a free agent, but his struggles over the past few years likely mean he’ll be looking at a minor league deal with whatever organization gives him another chance.
Luis Rengifo

MIL 3rd Baseman #13

Brewers designated INF Luis Rengifo for assignment.

Rengifo was atrocious in his limited time with the Brew Crew; forging a 205/.280/.254 slash line in 209 plate appearances before being designated for assignment. He could report to Triple-A if/when he goes unclaimed or untraded, but there’s just as good of chance he’ll become a free agent and look to rebound with a new organization.
Luis Rengifo

MIL 3rd Baseman #13

Luis Rengifo went 2-for-3 with two walks and three runs scored against the Giants on Monday.

Rengifo scored three runs in a game for the first time since 2024 and fifth time in his career. It’s as many runs as he scored during the entire month of May. He hit .217/.280/.217 in 75 plate appearances last month, and he came into tonight with just a .520 OPS for the year.

Phillies transferred LF Felix Reyes from the 7-day injured list to the 60-day injured list with a right wrist fracture.

The 25-year-old was a brief Phillies lineup solution in May and had recently gone on the IL at Triple-A Lehigh Valley; this move clears a 40-man spot for new waiver claim Andrew Hoffmann. It seems likely Reyes’ season is over.

MLB.com’s Martín Gallegos reports the Athletics will send Jacob Wilson (shoulder) to the injured list and that is season is likely over.

Wilson has missed five of the last six games while dealing with a shoulder injury that will likely require offseason surgery. With the A’s going nowhere, this move makes plenty of sense — might as well get the rehab started early. Wilson hit .266/.298/.388 in 80 games this year while dealing with the injury.

Cal Raleigh is not in Seattle’s starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Brewers.

Raleigh has three hits in his last 34 at bats in what has been one of the most disappointing follow-up seasons in baseball history. He’s still walking, but that won’t help most fantasy managers. Jhonny Pereda will grab the start against LHP Robert Gasser today.

Walker Jenkins homered again Wednesday for Triple-A St. Paul.

Jenkins is now batting .380/.436/.640 in August with three homers and three stolen bases in 12 games. The Twins would appear to have an opening on paper for a strong-side platoon outfielder that could play over Luke Keaschall, but Keaschall is hitting .345/.426/.569 in August and the Twins don’t appear interested in moving him back to the infield.

Seaver King went 3-for-4 with another home run for Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday.

He also, notably, played third base. Perhaps that opens a September call-up pathway for King, who has homered in 6-of-10 contests for Rochester and is currently hitting .375/.467/.719 since returning from an oblique strain on July 30.

Giants recalled LHP Reiver Sanmartin from Triple-A Sacramento.

He was optioned down literally yesterday to make room for Matt Wilkinson and now comes back up as Keaton Winn was placed on the injured list. Sanmartin is just a low-leverage up-and-down arm.

Giants placed RHP Keaton Winn on the 15-day injured list retroactive to August 19 with right elbow neuritis.

He was already on the injured list for a right elbow strain earlier this year so we’re concerned that this could be something chronic that needs to be dealt with. Winn hasn’t made a real play for the closer’s role so this move has no fantasy impact. He carried a 3.65 ERA in 12 1/3 innings since returning from the injured list, but had walked eight and struck out just seven along the way.

Darell Hernaiz is starting at shortstop and batting ninth against RHP Randy Dobnak. Wilson remains a prime candidate to head to the injured list, especially now that the Athletics lineup is already injury-depleted as they finish off the season.
