Padres' Nestor Cortes: Hits IL
The Padres placed Cortes (biceps) on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 4.
As expected, Cortes has been placed on the shelf due to left biceps tendinitis. Randy Vasquez, who's making a start Saturday for San Diego, was expected to be replaced by Michael King (knee) once King was activated off the IL. Now, it's likely both will remain in the rotation. Cortes becomes eligible for reinstatement Sept. 19. RHP Ron Marinaccio was recalled from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

Padres' Ron Marinaccio: Up from El Paso
The Padres recalled Marinaccio from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
With Nestor Cortes (biceps) moving to the injured list, Marinaccio will join the big-league bullpen to provide San Diego with some extra bullpen depth until the team needs a fifth starter. The 30-year-old has tossed 4.2 shutout innings with the Padres this year, though he owns a 5.05 ERA and 1.50 WHIP through 46.1 frames in the minors. He'll likely be restricted to middle-relief appearances with the Friars.

Padres' Nestor Cortes: Headed for injured list
The Padres will place Cortes on the injured list due to left biceps tendinitis, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Cortes seemingly picked up the injury during Wednesday's start, when he yielded six runs and four home runs across 2.1 innings against the Orioles. Since being dealt to San Diego from Milwaukee, Cortes has a 5.47 ERA and a 21:13 K:BB across 26.1 innings and six appearances. Michael King (knee) is nearing a return and could fill Cortes' spot in the rotation.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Slated for start Saturday
Vasquez said Friday he'll be recalled from Triple-A El Paso to start Saturday's game against the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Vasquez will fill the gap in the Padres' rotation Saturday, marking his first big-league action since Aug. 15. The 26-year-old has a 3.96 ERA and a 59:49 K:BB in 111.1 innings spanning 23 appearances with the Padres this season. While he'll have to navigate pitching in Coors Field, Vasquez will have the advantage of facing a weak Rockies offense. Per Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, Nestor Cortes (biceps) is headed to the injured list, which means Vasquez could stick in the rotation even after Michael King (knee) is activated.

Padres' Luis Arraez: Sitting Friday
Arraez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.
Arraez will get the night off Friday after making six consecutive starts (four at first base, two at DH). Ryan O'Hearn will bat second and play first base, while Gavin Sheets bats cleanup at DHs.

Padres' Freddy Fermin: Taking seat Friday
Fermin isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.
Fermin will step out of the lineup for the second straight game after going 3-for-14 with three runs scored across his last five contests. Elias Diaz will catch for starter Nick Pivetta and bat ninth.

Padres' Miguel Mendez: Struggling since promotion
Mendez has a 7.88 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 22:14 K:BB in 16 innings across four starts for Double-A San Antonio.
In a system that has been ravaged by trades, Mendez is one of the most talented prospects remaining, despite his poor results since getting promoted to Double-A on Aug. 1. The skinny 6-foot-2 righty's fastball regularly touches triple digits and he has one of the best sliders in the minors, but poor control may push him to relief eventually. Mendez, who turned 23 in July, logged a 1.32 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 70:24 K:BB in 61.1 innings at High-A Fort Wayne earlier this season.

Padres' Manny Machado: Goes deep Wednesday
Machado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday in a loss to the Orioles.
Machado kicked off a late Padres attempt at a comeback with a two-run blast in the sixth inning. It was the veteran third baseman's first long ball over his past 13 contests, a span in which he's slashed just .200/.259/.280. Despite the recent cold stretch, Machado is at an .809 OPS on the campaign, which is on pace for his best mark since 2022.

Padres' Fernando Tatis: Clubs homer in loss
Tatis went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Wednesday in a loss to Baltimore.
Tatis brought the Padres to within two runs with his 414-foot solo blast in the seventh inning, but that ended up being the team's final tally. The long ball was just the second for the slugger over his past 36 contests. While Tatis has been a great source of steals with 27 thefts in 33 attempts, his power output has been somewhat disappointing this year -- he has 19 homers across 609 plate appearances after belting 21 long balls over 438 plate appearances during the regular season last year.

Padres' Nestor Cortes: Gives up four homers
Cortes (2-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Orioles, allowing six runs on seven hits and three walks across 2.1 innings. He struck out two.
It was a rough day for the left-hander, who gave up a homer to Jackson Holliday to lead off the game before giving up five runs on three straight long balls in the third. Cortes has pitched only 5.1 innings across his last two starts, giving up nine runs on 12 hits in that span. His ERA is up to 6.29 with a 1.63 WHIP and 29:20 K:BB across 34.1 innings between the Padres and Brewers this season.

Padres' Gavin Sheets: Set to lose playing time
Sheets is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
Sheets slashed .354/.415/.667 with three home runs, nine runs and eight RBI while starting in each of the Padres' last 14 games, but he nonetheless appears set to lose out on playing time during the final month of the season. Jackson Merrill's return from the injured list Monday is expected to close off Sheets' primary avenues to making starts, as the San Diego outfield is now back to full strength, and Luis Arraez and Ryan O'Hearn will likely continue to occupy the first base and designated hitter spots more often than not.

Padres' Freddy Fermin: Exiting starting nine
Fermin is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Orioles.
Fermin had started each of the previous three contests at catcher, so he'll get a well-earned break during Wednesday's matinee. Elias Diaz will be behind the plate and bat ninth as the Padres try to avoid the sweep.

Padres' Luis Arraez: Pops seventh homer
Arraez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Orioles.
Arraez's third-inning blast was the lone scoring play the Padres generated. He's gone 7-for-20 (.350) since his off day versus the Mariners last Wednesday, so it appears he has gotten his hitting back on track after a small slump. The infielder is up to seven homers this season, including five at home, while slashing .285/.318/.393 with 52 RBI, 56 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 133 contests overall.

Padres' Yu Darvish: Loses again Tuesday
Darvish (3-5) allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out six over four-plus innings to take the loss versus the Orioles on Tuesday.
Darvish gave up a solo home run to Jeremiah Jackson in the first inning and a two-run single to Emmanuel Rivera in the third. Darvish found more trouble in the fifth and was pulled from that frame after walking Jackson to lead off the inning. This was the third time in four starts Darvish fell short of the five-inning mark, and he's allowed 13 runs (12 earned) over 18 innings in that span. For the season, he's at a 5.75 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 48:17 K:BB through 51.2 innings across 11 starts. Darvish has had a few flashes of his talent, but he hasn't been able to sustain success from one start to the next very often. He's projected for a home matchup versus the Reds early next week.

Padres' Alek Jacob: Returns to San Diego
The Padres recalled Jacob from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Jacob was sent down to Triple-A at the end of August after throwing 4.2 shutout innings in three appearances, and he'll now rejoin the big-league bullpen following Jason Adam's (quad) move to the injured list. Although his most recent showing in the majors was successful, Jacob's 5.40 ERA through 30 innings will likely limit him to low-leverage work.
