Padres hit only slightly better than they did in Saturday’s loss, but Nick Pivetta and two relievers don’t give back lead

The San Diego Padres are placing outfielder Jackson Merrill on the injured list, following a tough blow he took in a game Saturday.

A Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher called Manny Machado one of MLB's best players after facing him in their first series in 2025.

Nick Pivetta held Arizona to two hits over seven innings and Jake Cronenworth homered as the San Diego Padres defeated the Diamondbacks 8-2 on Sunday to snap a three-game losing streak. Fernando

Josh Naylor drove in Geraldo Perdomo from third base with a chopping ground ball to first to cap a five-run ninth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for an 8-7 victory over the San Diego Padres in Phoenix on Saturday.

In their last four series, they are 8-4 with wins against the Braves, Mariners, and Padres. Their playoff odds on FanGraphs have gone from 25% to 37% in their last home stand. They still have four teams ahead of them, but they're one strong run away from being right in the thick of the race.

The San Diego Padres have placed All-Star outfielder Jackson Merrill on the seven-day injured list on Sunday, a day after he suffered a concussion during Saturday night’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The comeback kids did it again. The Diamondbacks rallied for five runs in the ninth inning to walk off the Padres, 8-7, on Saturday night at Chase Field.

The baseball industry has learned not to underestimate A.J. Preller during trade season or, for that matter, at any time on the calendar.

With a chance to sweep the Padres, the offense was flat and the pitching was not on point in the series finale.
