Padres' Trenton Brooks: Losing out on starts
Rotowire
Brooks is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
The left-handed-hitting Brooks is on the bench for the fifth straight game and the third straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher. At this point, the Padres appear content to use the designated-hitter spot to rotate multiple everyday players rather than leaning on Brooks in the strong side of a platoon. Brooks has posted a weak .154/.195/.282 slash line in 41 plate appearances since getting called up from Triple-A El Paso on June 15.

With Gavin Sheets getting a day off from playing the outfield and serving as the DH, the Padres won't have a lineup spot available for Brooks on Sunday.

Padres' Trenton Brooks: Receives call to majors
Rotowire
The Padres selected Brooks' contract from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.
Brooks logged 29 plate appearances in the majors with the Giants in 2024, but he was outrighted off the 40-man roster last July and elected free agency before catching on with the Padres on a minor-league deal. The 29-year-old has been a mainstay in the lineup at El Paso this season and will earn a look with the big club after slashing .313/.415/.585 with 13 home runs and 53 RBI over 265 plate appearances. Brooks isn't included in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, but he could be an option for the Padres in left field or at first base and designated hitter against right-handed pitching while Jackson Merrill (concussion) and Jason Heyward (oblique) are on the injured list.

He'll be out of the lineup for the fifth straight game, with the Giants facing three lefty starters and two righties during that span.
