MIAMI -- It’s hard to tell the magnitude of Luis Rengifo’s latest heroics -- a pinch-hit two-run home run that proved decisive in the Padres’ 4-2 victory over the Marlins on Friday at loanDepot park. That’ll come with time.

But in the moment, it sure felt like the type

MIAMI -- Help seems to be on the way for the Padres’ ailing rotation. But here’s the important question: Will it arrive in time?

The 2026 season is at the midway point, and there's no better place to watch all the action than on PADRES.TV presented by UC San Diego Health.

MIAMI -- The Padres have signed first-round Draft pick Coleman Borthwick to a $3.8 million signing bonus, MLB Pipeline’s Jonathan Mayo reported on Friday.

Borthwick, a right-hander out of South Walton High School in Florida, will forego his commitment to Auburn, inking a bonus slightly under the pick’s projected

The Trade Deadline arrives at 6 p.m. ET on Aug. 3 this year, and before all the commotion that comes with a flurry of moves across the Major and Minor Leagues, we figured it was time to update the MLB Pipeline team Top 30 prospects lists.

Truth be told, we’re always

This page will be updated throughout the year with all the latest Padres injury news and transactions.

ATLANTA -- More than two months remain in this topsy-turvy Padres season. But they know the deal. They have 10 days.

The help the Padres desperately need to turn this into a contending roster is not coming -- unless they can prove otherwise before the Aug. 3 Trade Deadline.

There were a lot of prospects on the move, in rankings, before some of them will be on the move, in trades.

MLB Pipeline just refreshed all of its team Top 30 lists and there were some big movers up the rankings. Some were bigger than others, with many

ATLANTA -- The Padres can take plenty of positives from their 7-6 loss to the Braves on Wednesday night at Truist Park.

Except ... this isn’t the time for that.

ATLANTA -- Remember all that time we spent wondering when Fernando Tatis Jr. would hit his first home run?

Feels like ancient history. Tatis is hitting homers in bunches now. And on Tuesday night, he hit the longest home run in the Majors this season -- a Statcast-projected 474 feet to

The Aug. 3 Trade Deadline is fast approaching, and with it, potential moves that could shake up the balance of power and playoff races as we enter the regular season stretch run.

ATLANTA -- The Trade Deadline looms less than two weeks away, and the Padres remain squarely on the fence. They might buy. They might sell. They might engage in some combination of both. Or neither.

As general manager A.J. Preller put it recently: “All those things are

ATLANTA -- Xander Bogaerts doesn’t want to be hitting eighth. The Padres don’t want it either. In an ideal world, Bogaerts would be somewhere in the heart of their lineup, swinging like the five-time Silver Slugger Award winner that he is.

But Bogaerts also can’t possibly argue with it.

ATLANTA -- Manny Machado and Ty France went deep, but the Padres couldn’t muster much else offensively as they dropped their series opener in Atlanta, 3-2, on Monday night

ATLANTA -- The Padres placed infielder Miguel Andujar on the 10-day injured list with a fractured right wrist ahead of Monday’s series opener against the Braves.

It’s another injury blow for a roster that has been hit hard this season. Andujar had mostly served in a part-time/DH role. But he had

The second half of the MLB season usually comes with a mission. For contenders, it's getting to the postseason. For others, it's taking stock and looking ahead to improve for next season.

In either circumstance, there are players who teams want to see contribute because they figure to be an important

KANSAS CITY -- After the Padres opened the second half with two losses, manager Craig Stammen was still optimistic about what San Diego could accomplish during its ongoing 10-game road trip, which continues this week in Atlanta and Miami.

“We’ve got eight more,” Stammen said prior to Sunday’s series finale against

KANSAS CITY -- Homecomings can often tug at the heartstrings, and that’s certainly been the case for catcher Freddy Fermin this weekend.

Fermin has returned to Kauffman Stadium, a place where his early Major League memories were made. Coming up through the Royals’ organization, he made great friends and was a

KANSAS CITY – Rested and refreshed, the Padres came out of the All-Star break feeling it was “go” time.

Ty France and Mason Miller, in particular, got the memo. In one of the most unlikely ninth innings the Padres could ever imagine, it was France and Miller who made it possible
