Padres signed first-round pick RHP Coleman Borthwick.

Borthwick receives a $3.8 million signing bonus after being taken by San Diego with the 21st overall pick earlier this month. The 18-year-old prep righty boasts a four-pitch repertoire and has the prototypical size at 6-foot-6 to envision him becoming a rotation mainstay at the highest level someday.
Jackson Merrill

SD Center Fielder #3

Jackson Merrill went 2-for-4 with a solo home run against the Marlins on Sunday.

Merrill’s home run was his 15th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Marlins reliever Lake Bachar to put the Padres up 4-3 in the eighth inning. Merrill’s home run was his third in his last five starts. While his .160 ISO this year is down from his career .188 ISO, he’s starting to make some strides in the power department lately. Merrill is hitting .231 with a .675 OPS and 46 RBI.
Manny Machado

SD 3rd Baseman #13

Manny Machado went 2-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and three RBI against the Padres on Sunday.

Machado’s home run was his 23rd of the season. He hit a two-run game-tying home run off Marlins reliever Lake Bachar in the eighth inning. Machado is in the midst of a down year, but he raised his average to .210 with the two-hit effort. It’s the mark of a great player that even in an off-season Machado will still make a run at 30 home runs and 100 RBI.
Mason Miller

SD Relief Pitcher #22

Mason Miller tossed a perfect ninth inning and picked up the save against the Marlins on Sunday.

Miller’s save was his 27th of the season. He retired the side in order in a perfect ninth inning that was capped off by a strikeout of Joe Mack to end the game. Miller has an 0.82 ERA and is perfect on save opportunities this season.
Walker Buehler

SD Starting Pitcher #10

Walker Buehler allowed three runs (two earned) in 5 1/3 innings and got a no-decision in the Padres’ 5-3 victory over the Marlins on Sunday.

Buehler gave up four hits, walked two and struck out seven. He allowed two runs in the second inning with the unearned run coming after Liam Hicks stole third base and scored on a throwing error by Luis Campusano. In the third inning, Buehler allowed a solo home run to Kyle Stowers, but otherwise kept the Marlins off the scoreboard. He has a 5.13 ERA. Buehler is lined up to face the Giants at home next weekend.
Xander Bogaerts

SD Shortstop #2

Xander Bogaerts is not in the Padres’ starting lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Marlins in Miami.

The 33-year-old infielder is mired in an extended slump at the plate, so giving him a day or two off to clear his head wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world. Sung-Mun Song will start in his place at shortstop and will bat ninth for the Padres against Janson Junk and the Marlins on Sunday afternoon.
Jackson Merrill

SD Center Fielder #3

Jackson Merrill went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in a 7-2 win over the Marlins on Saturday.

Merrill doubled in the second inning, then led off the seventh with another double before scoring on a sacrifice fly. He added a single in the eighth for his third hit of the game and scored again on a single by Jase Bowen. The 23-year-old outfielder is hitting a disappointing .228/.282/.382 with 14 homers, 49 runs scored, 45 RBI, and 20 steals across 429 plate appearances.
Ty France

SD 1st Baseman #25

Ty France went 2-for-4 with three RBI against the Marlins on Saturday.

France broke a scoreless game in the third inning with a single to drive in two runs for the Padres. He later gave the Padres an insurance run with a base hit in the eighth to score Jake Cronenworth from second. The 32-year-old first baseman is hitting .283/.336/.549 with 16 homers and 46 RBI across 269 plate appearances.
Randy Vásquez

SD Starting Pitcher #98

Randy Vásquez allowed one run with no strikeouts over 2 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Marlins on Saturday.

Vásquez started this one after a few relief appearances. He tossed two scoreless innings, stranding two runners in the first inning, then gave up one run on a hit batter, base hit, and sacrifice fly in the third. Vásquez would be done with two outs in the inning at 37 pitches. He did not record a strikeout. The 27-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 4.68 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, and a 63/29 K/BB ratio across 90 1/3 innings. With a day off on Monday, he may revert to long relief his next time out.
Randy Vásquez

SD Starting Pitcher #98

Randy Vásquez will start Saturday’s game against the Marlins.

It’s a decent spot for Vásquez considering the opponent and setting since loanDepot park is a notoriously pitcher-friendly setting. The 27-year-old hurler tossed three scoreless innings against the Royals in his first outing back from the injured list last Sunday. He doesn’t offer enough strikeout potential be a streaming option for fantasy managers outside of extremely deep leagues, but he should be able to hold onto a rotation spot with the Padres for the final two months.
