The Padres outrighted Wade to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.
Wade has the ability to decline the outright assignment and elect free agency, but it's not clear whether he'll exercise that right or remain in the organization. The utility player has slashed .206/.309/.252 through 127 plate appearances in the big leagues this season.

Padres' Tyler Wade: DFA'd by Padres
Rotowire
The Padres designated Wade for assignment Friday.
Wade will lose his spots on the 26-man and 40-man rosters to help make room for the numerous additions San Diego made before Thursday's trade deadline. The 30-year-old utility man has slashed .206/.309/.252 through 127 plate appearances in the big leagues this season.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Making rare start Wednesday
Rotowire
Wade will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Wade will crack the starting nine for the first time since June 25 while Jose Iglesias takes a seat after occupying the keystone in the Padres' previous two contests. For the season, Wade has mustered a .210/.314/.257 line over 125 plate appearances, and he'll likely continue to see limited use in a utility role unless the San Diego infield or outfield gets decimated by injuries.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Losing playing time
Rotowire
Wade is not in Thursday's lineup against the Athletics.
Wade's playing time is drying up even in the absence of Jackson Merrill (concussion), as he's been out of the lineup in five of the Padres' last six games. Bryce Johnson is in center field for Thursday's game, drawing his second straight start.

Padres' Tyler Wade: On bench against righty
Rotowire
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.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Moving to bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Wade had started each of the last three games in left field and went 2-for-7 with a triple and three RBI, but he'll give way to Gavin Sheets while Xander Bogaerts gets a day out of the infield and serves as the Padres' designated hitter. Until Jason Heyward (oblique) returns from the injured list, Wade could serve as the Padres' primary option in left field, at least against right-handed pitching.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Sitting against lefty
Rotowire
Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Though he'll take a seat for the second day in a row while the Pirates send another lefty (Andrew Heaney) to the bump, Wade had gained traction of late in the Padres' everyday lineup against righties. He started in either left or right field in each of the Padres' previous three matchups with righties and could end up holding down a strong-side platoon role until Jason Heyward (oblique) returns from the injured list.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Set to lose playing time
Rotowire
Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Wade had started in 15 of the Padres' previous 17 games, with most of his playing time coming in center field. He'll be ticketed for a backup role in the outfield moving forward after the Padres welcomed Jackson Merrill back from the injured list Tuesday, and Wade's opportunities to play in the middle infield will also soon become limited with Jake Cronenworth (rib) on track to be activated this weekend.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Idle against lefty
Rotowire
Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
San Diego is stocking up on extra right-handed bats to counter southpaw Andrew Heaney, so the lefty-hitting Wade will hit the bench for the second day in a row while Brandon Lockridge gets another start in center field. Both Wade and Lockridge could see their opportunities dwindle during the upcoming week, as Jackson Merrill (hamstring) is on track to return from the 10-day injured list.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Starting Monday vs. Cubs
Rotowire
Wade is starting in center field and batting eighth against the Cubs on Monday.
Wade appears to be San Diego's top option at center field with Jackson Merrill (hamstring) and Brandon Lockridge (hamstring) both on the 10-day injured list. Wade will make his first major-league start of the season Monday after filling in as a defensive substitute twice during the weekend series against the Rockies. The 30-year-old appeared in 90 regular-season games for the Padres in 2024, slashing .217/.285/.239 with eight stolen bases, 28 runs scored and eight RBI across 155 plate appearances.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Joins active roster
Rotowire
The Padres selected Wade's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
With Jake Cronenworth (rib) headed for the injured list, the Padres will bring Wade back onto their major-league roster as infield depth. The 30-year-old appeared in 90 games for San Diego last season, slashing .217/.285/.239 with eight RBI and eight steals across 155 plate appearances. Matt Waldron (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Remains in organization
Rotowire
Wade cleared waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to Triple-A El Paso.
Wade was designated for assignment last Thursday after losing his spot on the 40-man roster to Jose Iglesias. After clearing waivers, Wade will stick around in the organization as a member of the Triple-A club. He logged 155 plate appearances over 90 games for the Padres in 2024, slashing .217/.285/.239 with no home runs and eight stolen bases.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Removed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Padres designated Wade for assignment Thursday.
Wade turned in a .524 OPS over 90 games with San Diego last season, but the Padres valued him mostly for his ability to play three infield spots and all three outfield positions. His versatility wasn't enough to win him a spot on the Opening Day roster, as Jose Iglesias is capable of providing similar defensive coverage in the infield while bringing a more potent bat to the table.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Will not make Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Wade is not expected to be included on the Padres' Opening Day roster, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Wade posted a .524 OPS for the Padres last season and had just a .641 OPS this spring. The utility player is out of minor-league options, so he will have to be traded or go through the waivers process.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Swats spring homer
Rotowire
Wade went 2-for-3 with a home run, three total RBI and a walk in Friday's Cactus League victory against the Cubs.
Wade plated three of San Diego's five runs, laying down an RBI bunt single in the fourth inning and slugging a two-run shot to right field in the sixth. The first of the two hits was more in line with Wade's skill set, as he ranked in the 85th percentile in sprint speed last year and has just seven home runs over eight big-league regular seasons. Wade has a .205/.279/.333 slash line this spring as he competes for a roster spot as a utility man for the Padres.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Avoids arbitration
Rotowire
Wade signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Padres on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Wade struggled at the big-league level in 2024, slashing just .217/.285/.239 across 155 plate appearances. However, the Padres will keep him around for another year to serve as bench depth, and the 29-year-old will earn a $50,000 raise in the process.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Sitting third straight
Rotowire
Wade is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.
Wade got the first crack at shortstop duties following Ha-Seong Kim's (shoulder) injury but didn't capitalize on the opportunity, going 0-for-11 at the dish. He'll yield to Mason McCoy for a third consecutive contest Saturday and it appears as though Wade has been usurped by McCoy as the Padres' temporary starting shortstop.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Sitting Friday
Rotowire
Wade isn't in the Padres' lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.
Wade has gone 0-for-11 over his last four contests, and he'll sit down for a second consecutive game. Mason McCoy picks up another start at shortstop in place of the injured Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder).

Padres' Tyler Wade: Getting Thursday off
Rotowire

Padres' Tyler Wade: Filling in for injured Kim
Rotowire
Wade will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Twins, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Wade is in the lineup for a third straight game, as the Padres appear to have settled on him as their primary replacement at shortstop for Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Though he is a competent defender in the middle infield, Wade shouldn't be expected to provide much fantasy value other than the occasional stolen base while he's getting regular playing time. He's batting .231 with no home runs in 138 plate appearances with the Padres in 2024 and is a lifetime .219/.295/.291 hitter over parts of eight seasons in the big leagues.
