Will Smith (neck) homers in Triple-A rehab game

Moreno managed to go 1-for-3 with a walk tonight even though the injury was limiting his ability to push off his leg. He figures to DH again on Sunday.

Luzardo has spent the last two weeks on the IL with shoulder inflammation. Because the D-backs lost, Sunday’s game won’t necessarily be a must-win for the Phillies, though they would clinch if they win. They’ll only fail to advance if they lose and Arizona wins.

McCann briefly gave the Diamondbacks a 4-3 lead with his two-run homer off Walker Buehler, but the Padres ended up scoring the next 10 and holding on for the win. McCann has homered seven times in 52 games with a solid slash of .283/.313/.461. He’s one of the better backup backstops in the sport.

With the win, the Padres have clinched the top Wild Card spot, and they will host the Cubs beginning Tuesday. The Phillies should also be thanking Machado, as that homer means a win over the Rays — or another loss by Arizona — gives them the final playoff spot. Machado clobbered a three-run homer in the fifth inning, and it gives him an even 30 homers and 90 RBI on the season. The .216 average leaves a lot to be desired, but the power is still there for the 34-year-old.

It was a final tune-up for Miller ahead of the Padres’ Wild Card Series against the Cubs beginning Tuesday. He loaded the bases with no outs, and he saw all three runs scored while putting the tying run at the plate before finally getting out of the frame. It’s an ugly outing for the 28-year-old, but Miller’s regular season was still nothing short of dominant with 38 saves and an ERA of 1.67. Obviously, he’ll be counted on heavily for the Padres in the postseason.

Buehler’s final start of the season was shaky at best. He gave up runs in the second and third, and then a two-run homer allowed to James McCann punctuated a disappointing outing for the 32-year-old. It was an up-and-down year for Buehler, but he pitched better over the final few months than his 4.63 ERA suggests. It remains to be seen what role he’ll have for San Diego in the postseason, if any.

Díaz doubled and singled twice in another excellent game in what has been another strong season for the 35-year-old. If he doesn’t play Sunday, he’ll finish 2026 with a .293/.359/.446 slash at the top of the Tampa Bay lineup.

Palacios drove in a run with a double in the second, walked with the bases loaded in the fifth, and singled in a pair an inning later. That gives Palacios 57 RBI on the season, and his slash now sits at .238/.333/.378 with one game left.

Mesa also singled, and he came around to score three times in the blowout win. The 25-year-old has had a solid season at the plate for the Rays, and he’s now the owner of an .825 OPS and 33 RBI; the latter figure more understandable because he’s played in only 78 games in 2026. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of role he has for Tampa Bay in the postseason; he’s earned a look.

Caminero is now up to 42 homers on the season, with this one coming in the first off Aaron Nola in the first inning. The 23-year-old also scored three runs and added a single and walk. He’s now driven in 101 runs, giving him back-to-back triple-digit seasons. SImply put, Caminero has established himself as one of the truly elite power hitters in the game in a very short time.
