Mikolas (7-10) earned the win Tuesday against the Athletics, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with no strikeouts in six innings.

Despite the season-low zero strikeouts, it was still one of Mikolas' finer performances of the year. It was his eighth quality start in 2025, and it also marked his ninth time surrendering one earned run or zero this season. Mikolas will be trying to build on Tuesday's performance when he takes a 4.89 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 86:33 K:BB over 136.1 innings into his next outing, which is slated for next week against the Mariners at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park.

Tucker was removed from Tuesday's game against Atlanta with left calf tightness, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Tucker went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer before his calf forced him to make an early exit in the seventh. Manager Craig Counsell said after the game that Tucker won't play in Wednesday's contest, per Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network, leaving Kevin Alcantara and Willi Castro as the likely candidates to pick up a start in right field. Tucker, meanwhile, will aim to return for the start of Chicago's weekend series against Washington.

Freeland was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Giants after benches cleared during the first inning, Suzie Hunter of GuerillaSports.net reports.

Freeland's day came to an abrupt end after throwing just eight pitches and giving up a two-run homer to Rafael Devers without recording an out. The two players got into a heated exchange while Devers rounded the bases, which prompted a bench-clearing brawl that also led to ejections for Matt Chapman and Willy Adames. Freeland will carry a 5.41 ERA and 1.52 WHIP into his next start, and it remains to be seen whether he will receive further discipline from Major League Baseball.

Young was removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins due to back spasms.

Young had gone 2-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored before his back forced him to make an early exit in the sixth inning. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but an extended absence for Young would likely force Robert Hassell into the lineup more often against left-handed pitchers.

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.

The Padres placed Adam (quad) on the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Adam was diagnosed with a ruptured tendon in his left quadriceps after being carted off the field during Monday's game against Baltimore. Although the Padres haven't offered an official timeline, the 34-year-old's injury will likely end his season. Alek Jacob was recalled from Triple-A to help replenish San Diego's bullpen depth.

O'Hearn isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Baltimore, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

O'Hearn will get a day to rest Tuesday after going 11-for-40 (.275) with an RBI and five runs scored across his last 10 contests. His absence will allow Gavin Sheets to serve as San Diego's designated hitter while batting fourth.

Iglesias isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Iglesias has been filling in for Xander Bogaerts (foot) at shortstop recently, but the former will get a day off Tuesday while Mason McCoy starts and bats eighth.

Tatis (lower body) will start in right field and bat leadoff Tuesday against the Orioles, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Lower-half tightness caused Tatis to be a late scratch from Monday's lineup, but a day of rest has him feeling better and ready to play Tuesday. The 26-year-old has been less productive than usual recently, slashing .231/.348/.385 with five RBI and seven runs scored across his last 10 games.

Burnes (elbow) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session Tuesday and will throw another later in the week, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

The right-hander is working his way back from an elbow strain and appears to be on the cusp of returning to game action. If Burns comes out of his two sessions this week with no issues, and he could then head out on a rehab assignment before potentially rejoining the Reds in the second half of September.
