The Padres placed Arraez (concussion) on the 7-day injured list prior to Monday's 6-4 loss to the Tigers.

San Diego called up infielder Mason McCoy from Triple-A El Paso to fill the open spot on the 26-man active roster, but Gavin Sheets ended up picking up the start at first base in Arraez's stead Monday, while Oscar Gonzalez served as the Padres' designated hitter. Arraez experienced concussion symptoms after he collided with the Astros' Mauricio Dubon in the first inning of Sunday's 3-2 win over Houston, resulting in the 28-year-old being carted off the field and taken to a hospital. Arraez has since relayed that he's feeling well, but he'll be out for at least this week while he recovers from the concussion.

Diaz allowed three runs on three hits and one walk over 1.1 innings in Monday's 6-3 loss to Miami. He also hit a batter.

Diaz stranded a pair of inherited runners to get out of the sixth inning but ran into trouble in the seventh, when pinch hitter Kyle Stowers took him deep for a three-run home run. It was the first time in four outings that Diaz was scored upon. The former closer has allowed four hits and four walks while striking two over four innings.

Lux went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins.

Lux was the lone Red to deliver with runners in scoring position -- the team was 1-for-10 in such situations -- when he launched a two-run home run as part of a three-run eighth inning. The homer was the first of the season for Lux, who extended a hit streak to seven games, during which he's 13-for-25 (.520) with three extra-base hits, six RBI, one steal and eight runs scored. Since injured teammates have returned, Lux has moved around the diamond, getting starts at third base, second base, DH and left field during the streak.

Herrera (knee) began a baserunning progression Sunday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Herrera did some straight-line running from base to base and will progress to rounding bases as his injured left knee allows. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Herrera has been able to increase other baseball activities without setbacks, and the catcher has also been taking batting practice and catching pitches from a high-velocity pitching machine. Herrera is just past the two-week mark of an absence that's expected to last at least four weeks, and his recovery seems to be coming along well. The young catcher is dealing with a bone bruise in his knee.

Fedde pitched through a calf issue after being struck by a line drive in the second inning of Monday's outing in Atlanta, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Fedde wound up covering six innings in the start and limited Atlanta to two runs. He worked with a trainer in between innings to keep the muscle loose and felt fine while pitching, but Fedde had trouble putting weight on the leg while talking to the media after the game. Fedde will have six days of rest before his next scheduled start Monday in Cincinnati, and there's no indication at this point that he might be in danger of missing that start.

Hoeing (shoulder) has been throwing for a few weeks and tossed a full bullpen session that included breaking pitches April 15, per MLB.com.

The April 15 session was Hoeing's first bullpen that included breaking pitches since he landed on the IL in late March. The right-hander didn't get into any spring games as he battled a right shoulder injury throughout camp, so he'll likely need to spend some time on a minor-league rehab assignment before he's ready to join the Padres' bullpen. That said, Hoeing could be activated sometime in May.

Durbin went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Giants on Monday.

Durbin accounted for both of Milwaukee's runs in the contest with his two-run shot to left-center in the second inning. The rookie third baseman showed the ability to hit for a bit of power with 10 homers in 82 games in Triple-A last season, though speed is likely to be his calling card in the majors. Durbin has one theft to his name as a big-leaguer so far and has gone 3-for-15 through four contests.

Flores went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 5-2 win against Milwaukee.

Flores went deep in the sixth inning, belting a solo shot to give the Giants their first lead. The veteran infielder continued his improbable power surge to start the season -- after hitting just four long balls over 242 plate appearances last year, he's belted seven homers (tied for fifth-most in the league) across 88 plate appearances so far in 2025. Flores is also tied for second in MLB with 24 RBI despite batting a modest .220 with no doubles or triples.

Priester allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three batters over four-plus innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Monday.

Priester struggled to throw the ball in the strike zone throughout his outing, as only 42 of his 81 pitches were strikes. The righty issued a season-high four walks, though he still managed to limit the damage to just two runs. Priester had tossed five frames in each of his previous two starts, but walks have certainly been an issue for him, as he's now handed out nine free passes in just 14 innings on the campaign. Priester has nonetheless registered a 1.93 ERA, and he's lined up to make his next start in St. Louis this weekend.

Doval earned a save against the Brewers on Monday, striking out one batter in a perfect ninth inning.

The Giants held a comfortable three-run lead when Doval entered in the ninth frame, and the righty reliever worked quickly to end the contest, needing just seven pitches to retire the side in order. He got the save chance in part because Ryan Walker was unavailable after pitching on back-to-back days and throwing 25 pitches in a blown save Sunday. Despite that blow-up, Walker remains the Giants' primary closer, though Doval looks to be first in line for spare save chances given that he's gone 3-for-3 in such opportunities and has a 2.61 ERA overall on the season.
