Miley did not factor into the decision Sunday against Detroit, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.

It was a strong outing overall for Miley, with both of the Tigers' runs coming on a pair of solo homers. After allowing four runs over two innings in a relief appearance to start his season, Miley has given up just five runs over 10 innings in his subsequent two starts. The veteran left-hander is currently scheduled to face the Cardinals at home next week in his next outing.

Knizner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Logan Porter will fill in behind the plate while Knizner takes a seat after starting in five of the Giants' previous six games. Knizner is likely to continue seeing the bulk of the work at catcher while top backstop Patrick Bailey (neck) is on the injured list.

Fitzgerald is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Christian Koss will step in at second base while Fitzgerald gets the night off for what will be his first game out of the lineup since May 28. While starting in each of the Giants' last 15 games, Fitzgerald hit just .184 with zero home runs, three stolen bases, two runs and two RBI.

The Diamondbacks (elbow) transferred Martinez (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Manager Torey Lovullo announced Friday that Martinez will require season-ending Tommy John surgery, so it was just a matter of time before the right-hander was shifted to the 60-day IL. In addition to missing the rest of the 2025 season, Martinez will spend most, if not all, of the 2026 campaign recovering from the procedure.

Iglesias will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

With Manny Machado getting a day out of the dirt and serving as the team's designated hitter, the Padres will have room in the infield for Iglesias, who picks up his second start in eight games. Iglesias is slashing just .244/.309/.285 over 138 plate appearances in his first season in San Diego, and playing time could remain scarce for the veteran while the Padres have all of their key infielders available.

Arizona optioned Jarvis to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

The right-hander was called up by Arizona on Tuesday and immediately collected a three-inning save against Seattle, but he otherwise didn't pitch during his latest stint in the majors. Jarvis has a 6.10 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB over 10.1 frames in the big leagues this season. He'll rejoin the rotation at Triple-A and will be available as organizational depth should Arizona need a starter down the road.

Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Even with Jackson Merrill's (concussion) placement on the 7-day injured list Sunday opening up an extra spot in the outfield, the lefty-hitting Wade will be bypassed for a start as the Padres go with the right-handed-hitting Brandon Lockridge in center field against Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly. Wade has now sat in three of the Padres' last four matchups with right-handers, and his outlook for playing time likely won't improve in the near future with Jason Heyward (oblique) due back from the IL soon.

Maldonado is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Maldonado will take a seat for the series finale after he had started behind the plate in three of the Friars' previous four games, including Saturday's 8-7 loss. Elias Diaz will form a battery with starting pitcher Nick Pivetta on Sunday.

DeSclafani signed a major-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

The right-hander recently opted out of his minor-league deal with the Yankees and was able to quickly secure a big-league contract. DeSclafani last pitched in the majors in 2023 with the Giants and had a 4.88 ERA across 99.2 innings. He posted similar numbers in five starts at Triple-A with the Yankees, finishing with a 4.50 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB over 20 innings. Expect the 35-year-old to work out of the bullpen as a multi-inning relief option to begin his time with Arizona.

The Padres placed Merrill (concussion) on the 7-day injured list Sunday.

Merrill will be out for at least the next week after he was diagnosed with the concussion upon taking a hard tag to the head in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Diamondbacks. The Padres called up first baseman/outfielder Trenton Brooks from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move, but Tyler Wade and Brandon Lockridge are the most likely candidates to fill in for Merrill in center field in the short term. A return date for Merrill should begin to come into focus once he makes enough progress in his recovery from the concussion to resume baseball activities.
