Padres' Fernando Tatis: Exits early Tuesday
Tatis was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics due to an apparent injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
The Padres haven't provided any details regarding what kind of injury Tatis is dealing with, but more information will come once they get a chance to evaluate him. The 26-year-old had gone 0-for-2 with a walk prior to his removal in the fifth inning.

Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Exits with injury
Cronenworth was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics due to an apparent leg injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Cronenworth didn't even attempt to run to first base on his third-inning groundout, instead doubling over in pain while grabbing at his leg. He was eventually able to walk off the field under his own power, but the Padres will presumably take a closer look at him to see if he suffered any severe damage.

Padres' Oscar Gonzalez: Called up Tuesday
Gonzalez was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Gonzalez will replace Jackson Merrill (hamstring) on the 26-man roster after Merrill was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right hamstring strain. Gonzalez has produced a .290 average with three home runs, seven RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base over 31 at-bats in seven games with El Paso so far this season. The 27-year-old will provide San Diego with another depth option in the outfield with Merrill unavailable.

Padres' Jackson Merrill: Headed to injured list
The Padres placed Merrill on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right hamstring strain.
Merrill's hamstring has kept him out of the lineup since Monday, and he hasn't been recovering as quickly as the team would like. In an effort to prioritize his long-term health, the Padres will now send the young outfielder to the injured list to give him ample time to recover and ensure his hamstring doesn't remain an issue for the rest of the season. Oscar Gonzalez was recalled from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

Padres' Jose Iglesias: First career start in outfield
Iglesias is starting in left field and batting seventh against the Athletics on Tuesday.
Iglesias has never started in the outfield during his professional career, so Tuesday will be a first for the 35-year-old. With three of the Padres' possible left fielders on the bench because a lefty is on the mound and with Brandon Lockridge starting in center due to Jackson Merrill's hamstring injury, the door opened for Iglesias to head to left field.

Padres' Jason Heyward: On bench against lefty
Heyward is not in the Padres' lineup against the Athletics on Tuesday.
Heyward has recorded one hit in his last eight at-bats and will get to rest Tuesday with lefty Jeffrey Springs on the mound for the Athletics. Jose Iglesias has the start in left field and is batting seventh.

Padres' Gavin Sheets: Idle versus lefty
Sheets is not in the Padres' lineup against the Athletics on Tuesday.
Sheets will begin the game on the bench with the Athletics sending southpaw Jeffrey Springs to the mound. Yuli Gurriel will start at first base, and Luis Arraez will bat as the designated hitter Tuesday.

Padres' Elias Diaz: On bench Tuesday
Diaz is not in the Padres' lineup against the Athletics on Tuesday.
Since Diaz's last day off April 2, he has gone 2-for-13 with two walks in four games. The two hits came in the same game Saturday as he went hitless in the other three. Martin Maldonado is the starting catcher Tuesday and is batting ninth.

Padres' Jackson Merrill: Held out of lineup again
Merill (hamstring) is not in the Padres' lineup against the Athletics on Tuesday.
Merill will miss his second straight game as he continues tending to his hamstring. This comes as an expected precaution, but if he misses any more games it would exceed the original timeline for his absence. Like Monday, Brandon Lockridge has the start in center field.

Padres' Francis Pena: Held back in extended ST
Pena was held back in extended spring training, Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline reports.
Pena had a 2.43 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 64:18 K:BB in 63 innings while climbing from High-A to Triple-A last season. The righty reliever is likely dealing with an injury or building up after being slowed early in camp.

Padres' Kavares Tears: Sidelined with hamstring injury
Tears is dealing with a hamstring injury and is expected to join Single-A Lake Elsinore later in April, Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline reports.
Tears, a 22-year-old outfielder the Padres selected with the 134th overall pick last year, has yet to make his pro debut. He hit 20 homers with a 25.3 percent strikeout rate in 71 games at Tennessee in 2024.

Padres' Cobb Hightower: Recovering from hamstring injury
Hightower is dealing with a hamstring injury and is expected to join Single-A Lake Elsinore later in April, Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline reports.
He suffered the hamstring injury during spring training. Hightower reportedly had a strong showing during fall instructs after the Padres selected him out of high school with the No. 88 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft.

Padres' Fernando Tatis: Crushes second homer
Tatis went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-4 win over the Athletics.
Tatis gave the Padres an insurance run in the seventh inning with a 406-foot blast to left field. The long ball was Tatis' first since his second game of the campaign, but he did plenty of damage on offense in the interim. Tatis is slashing a robust .381/.449/.548 on the season, adding seven RBI , 10 runs and five stolen bases while recording a 6:5 BB:K through 49 plate appearances.

Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Goes deep in win
Cronenworth went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Monday in a 5-4 win versus the Athletics.
Cronenworth helped the Padres get off to a quick start, launching a two-run blast to right-center field in the first inning. It was the second long ball of the season for the infielder, who has reached base safely in nine of his 11 games so far. Cronenworth is slashing a steady .265/.405/.500 through 42 plate appearances.

Padres' Robert Suarez: Picks up another save
Suarez earned a save against the Athletics on Monday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.
Suarez successfully protected a one-run, ninth-inning lead, needing just nine pitches to retire three batters. The right-hander had a rough spring, but he's been lights-out in the regular season, tossing five scoreless and hitless frames while posting a 7:1 K:BB. Suarez has gotten a save in each of his five outings to date, and he's tied with Luke Jackson for the MLB lead in saves in the early part of the season.

Padres' Michael King: Notches second victory
King (2-0) earned the win over the Athletics on Monday, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 5.2 innings.
King wasn't at his sharpest -- he pitched only one 1-2-3 frame and yielded a season-high eight hits -- but he did just enough to emerge with the victory. The right-hander got 12 whiffs on his 101 pitches but managed a season-low two punchouts. Two of King's three starts this season have come against the A's, and he's been less than impressive in both games, allowing a combined six runs over 8.1 frames while recording a meager 5:6 K:BB. However, King was dominant with 11 punchouts over five scoreless frames against Cleveland in his other start. He's next scheduled to take the mound at home versus Colorado.

Padres' Joe Musgrove: Cleared for light throwing
Musgrove (elbow) played catch Monday for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Musgrove was encouraged by Monday's throwing session, citing all of the rehab he's done in the last six months to simply make it to this point. The team doesn't expect him to make his return during the 2025 campaign, but if all continues to go as planned, he should be in a great spot to be ready for the beginning of 2026.

Padres' Jackson Merrill: Nursing hamstring issue
Merrill is being held out of Monday's starting lineup against the Athletics due to a hamstring injury, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Acee notes that Merrill has been playing through a minor hamstring issue for a few games, and the team has ultimately elected to give him a day or two off as a precaution. Brandon Lockridge is getting the start in center field Monday and would likely be in line for another chance Tuesday if Merrill misses more time.
