Tucker went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Padres.

Tucker was ailing after fouling a ball off his right leg Saturday, but he ultimately missed just one start. The stolen base Wednesday would suggest that his leg isn't bothering him much now. The outfielder is up to 12 steals on the year, and he's hitting .237 with a .727 OPS, 17 home runs, 70 RBI, 88 runs scored, 23 doubles and four triples over 150 contests.

Yamamoto (14-9) allowed four runs (two earned) on five hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out four over six innings to take the loss versus the Padres on Wednesday.

Yamamoto earned a third straight quality start, though the Padres' pair of runs in the fifth inning were a product of his own throwing error. The right-hander has had few stumbles this season, pitching to a 2.53 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 182:42 K:BB over 185 innings through 28 starts. His regular season is done, so expect Yamamoto's next appearance to come in the NLDS.

Taylor went 0-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.

Taylor manufactured a run on his own in the ninth inning after drawing a walk, with the two steals preceding Freddy Fermin's RBI single to pad the Padres' lead. Over his last 12 games, Taylor has gone 15-for-36 (.417) with five steals and four extra-base hits. The outfielder is now batting .333 with an .843 OPS, 12 steals, two home runs, 18 RBI, 26 runs scored, four doubles and two triples over 44 contests this season.

Tatis went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.

Tatis had gone eight games without a multi-hit effort before his breakout effort Wednesday. The outfielder has six extra-base hits and six RBI over his last nine contests. He's batting .287 with an .825 OPS, 25 home runs, 81 RBI, 95 runs scored, 31 doubles, three triples and 36 stolen bases over a career-high 156 games this season.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a third RBI in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.

This was Machado's fifth homer of September, and it ended up being all the Padres needed for the win Wednesday. The third baseman has added 13 RBI while batting .200 this month. On the year, he's hitting .218 with a .713 OPS, 29 homers, 87 RBI, 81 runs scored, 22 doubles and five stolen bases. Machado has as many as four games to push for the 30-homer mark, which he hasn't reached since 2023.

Ray allowed one run on seven hits and a walk while striking out two over 3.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Ray's short outing came down to inefficiency -- he needed 84 pitches (55 strikes) to get the 10 outs. It's been a bumpy September for the veteran lefty, who has allowed 14 runs over 16.2 innings with a 14:11 K:BB this month. His regular season is likely done at a 13-8 record with a 3.59 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 140:84 K:BB over 31 games (30 starts) between the Padres and the Giants. Ray is lined up to pitch in the wild-card series in the likely event the Padres secure a playoff spot.

Musgrove (elbow) has been regularly playing catch, but the timeline for a potential return to action remains unclear, MLB.com reports.

Musgrove has yet to pitch for the Padres this season. as he's struggled to recover from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in October of 2024. The veteran hurler fared mostly well during a four-game minor-league rehab stint in August, but he was ultimately pulled off the assignment because he was having trouble recovering between starts. There's still a chance San Diego could activate Musgrove to see what he can give them, but he'd be limited to a relief role if that were to happen.

Andujar (wrist) took live at-bats at Petco Park on Monday, MLB.com reports.

Andujar had been rehabbing with Triple-A El Paso before the club's season ended Sunday. Over nine games with the Chihuahuas, Andujar slashed .306/.316/.444 with no homers, five doubles, five RBI and a 1:4 BB:K. It appears the veteran infielder/outfielder is at the end of his recovery, but it remains to be seen if San Diego will make room for him to be activated from the IL before the end of the season.

Sheets (foot) took part in live batting practice Monday, MLB.com reports.

Sheets has been sidelined for over three weeks but is trying to make a return before the end of the season. If the veteran slugger does manage to get back on the field, he's expected to be limited to DH and pinch-hitting duties. Prior to getting hurt, Sheets posted a .211/.313/.388 slash line with 16 homers, 46 runs, 46 RBI and four stolen bases over 123 games.

Wetherholt went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Pirates.

Wetherholt provided the Cardinals with a steady presence at the plate, reaching base four times and scoring the first run of the game off of a Alec Burleson single. The rookie has gone 6-for-20 (.300) since being activated from the injured list (wrist) on September 16. He's closing out a productive rookie campaign with a .710 OPS, 17 home runs, 14 stolen bases and 51 RBI over 136 games and providing excellent defense at second base.
