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.

Grissom went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Athletics.

Grissom has homered twice over his last four games, a span in which he has also gone 7-for-16 at the plate. The infielder is batting .244 with a .706 OPS, 13 homers, 70 RBI, 46 runs scored, 22 doubles and a stolen base across 115 contests this season. He's put together a serviceable stat line while seeing steady playing time since late June.

Grisham (hamstring) took part in live batting practice Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Grisham is said to be "pretty deep into his running progression," which is the most significant part of his recovery from a right hamstring strain. He's also been hitting and doing other baseball activities. Grisham has already been ruled out from returning to action during the regular season, but if he continues to progress, he could be activated at some point during the playoffs.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Athletics.

Trout's up to 22 homers on the year, though he's hit just two over his last 39 contests. He's batting .273 in that span compared to .247 overall, so it appears he sacrificed a bit of power for more consistent contact in the second half of the campaign. Trout has added an .815 OPS, 54 RBI, 85 runs scored, 26 doubles and 11 stolen bases over 139 contests, his most games played in a campaign since he logged 140 in 2018.

Schmidt could be shut down for the season if he's unable to pitch Thursday, MLB.com reports.

After completing his recovery from an internal brace procedure he underwent in July of 2025, Schmidt returned to the Yankees and pitched a scoreless two-thirds of an inning against Minnesota on Sept. 16. However, he suffered a biceps injury while warming up in the bullpen four days later. The right-hander reportedly had a "better" day Tuesday, but it's still unclear if he'll be able to return before the end of the season. Should Schmidt not be feeling well enough to pitch by Thursday, the Yankees may decide that he's better off being held out of pitching until 2027.

Urena (9-11) allowed five runs on seven hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out two over four innings to take the loss versus the Athletics.

Urena mostly had a strong rookie season, but he ended it on a sour note with this start. This was just the third time all year he was tagged for five or more runs in a game. He ends his campaign at a 2.97 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 142:68 K:BB through 148.1 innings over 29 games (27 starts). Urena still has some room to grow, particularly when it comes to cutting back walks, but he was effective at limiting home runs (0.6 HR/9), which bodes well for the long run.

Bolte went 4-for-5 with two doubles, one RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

This was Bolte's first multi-hit effort since Sept. 8 against the Blue Jays. He's been held hitless just twice in his last 16 games, going 18-for-58 (.310) in that span. The rookie outfielder has put together a fairly impressive campaign with a .279 average, .769 OPS, 11 home runs, 21 stolen bases, 36 RBI, 56 runs scored, 16 doubles and a triple over 115 contests.

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.
