Nick Martinez

SD Relief Pitcher #21

Nick Martinez turned in a third straight scoreless start Friday, working five innings for a win as the Padres defeated the White Sox 3-2.

After spending most of the year as a setup man, Martinez got another shot as a starter two weeks ago and performed as well as anyone could have hoped. He finishes the season 6-4 with a 3.43 ERA and a 106/40 K/BB in 110 1/3 innings. The Padres could keep Martinez at $32 million for the next two years, but one assumes they’ll decline to do that. Martinez could then choose to stay for $16 million over two years. That seems fair, though Martinez likely could get a similar deal elsewhere if he’d prefer.
Josh Hader

SD Relief Pitcher #71

Although he allowed a run in the ninth, Josh Hader picked up a save against the White Sox on Friday..

Carlos Pérez homered off him, but it was a two-run game at the time. The save was Hader’s 33rd in 38 attempts. He has a 1.30 ERA and he’s met expectations for fantasy purposes, but he’s been largely irrelevant for the Padres this season.
Blake Snell

SD Starting Pitcher #4

Blake Snell is only expected to start on Sunday against the White Sox if the Padres are still mathematically alive in the playoff race.

Snell did throw his regular bullpen session on Friday, so as of now it sounds like he’s still preparing to start that game, but it sounds like the Padres could pull the plug on it if they’re booted from postseason consideration. The 30-year-old hurler is one of the front-runners for the National League Cy Young award with a terrific 2.25 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and a 234/99 K/BB ratio over 180 innings on the season.
Garrett Cooper

SD First Baseman #26

Garrett Cooper went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Wednesday in a 5-2 win against the Giants.

Cooper led off the seventh inning with a solo homer off Sean Manaea to tie the game. He later doubled in the ninth with the game still tied to put the go-ahead run in scoring position. The 32-year-old first baseman is hitting .254/.306/.426 with 17 homers and 61 RBI across 447 plate appearances.
Tom Cosgrove

SD Relief Pitcher #59

Tom Cosgrove tossed a scoreless tenth inning on Wednesday to earn the save against the Giants.

The Padres took a three-run lead in the top of the tenth after Josh Hader tossed a scoreless ninth. Cosgrove took the mound to close it out and recorded all three outs on 13 pitches for his first save of the season.
Matt Waldron

SD Starting Pitcher #61

Matt Waldron allowed two runs over six innings on Wednesday in a no-decision against the Giants.

Waldron surrendered a solo homer to Thairo Estrada in the second inning. A double and a single in the fifth brought a second run in for the Giants. Waldron would complete six innings with just the two runs allowed, ending his day with a quality start, striking out two batters. The 27-year-old right-hander has posted a 4.35 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and a 31/12 K/BB ratio across 41 1/3 innings.
Luis Campusano

SD Catcher #12

Luis Campusano (ankle) is not in the Padres’ lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Giants.

Campusano is absent from San Diego’s lineup for the third straight contest as he continues to deal with an ankle injury. It’ll be Brett Sullivan once again handling the catching duties.
Juan Soto

SD Left Fielder #22

Juan Soto went 3-for-4 and crushed a pair of home runs on Tuesday night, powering the Padres to a 4-0 victory over the Giants in San Francisco.

The 24-year-old superstar got the scoring started in the opening inning as he tagged John Brebbia for a 396-foot solo shot. He then put the game away with an impressive opposite-field 398-foot two-run bomb off of Ryan Walker in the seventh. Soto also drew a walk in the contest, reaching base safely in four of his five plate appearances. On the season, he’s now slashing .276/.410/.524 with a career-high 35 home runs, 108 RBI and 10 stolen bases across 692 plate appearances.
Xander Bogaerts

SD Shortstop #2

Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a walk, run scored and a stolen base as the Padres triumphed over the Giants in San Francisco on Tuesday night.

Bogaerts reached on an infield single in the third inning and eventually swiped third base with two outs, but he was left stranded there. He then drew a walk in the seventh inning and rode home on Juan Soto’s second home run of the contest. The 30-year-old has had a strong second half to the season and is now hitting .283/.350/.441 with 19 homers, 55 RBI and a career-high 19 stolen bases on the season. Look for him to push to get that 20th swipe before the final week of the season is through.
Josh Hader

SD Relief Pitcher #71

Josh Hader came on to get the final out against the Giants on Tuesday night, notching his 32nd save of the season in the process.

The Padres were leading 4-0 at the time, but the Giants were threatening after a walk and a single against right-hander Seth Lugo in the ninth. Hader came on and made quick work of pinch-hitter Wilmer Flores, striking him out to end the ballgame. On the season, the 29-year-old southpaw now holds a 1.18 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and an 82/28 K/BB ratio across 53 1/3 innings.
