Sears (3-3) notched the win Saturday against Miami, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk in 3.1 innings. He struck out three.
Pitching behind Randy Vasquez as a bulk reliever, Sears thrived while scattering one single across 3.1 scoreless frames. Saturday disrupted a string of five consecutive starts for the 30-year-old left-hander, whose role with the Padres appears uncertain going forward. Sears, who sports a 3.86 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB over 28 innings for San Diego since being recalled from Triple-A El Paso, could maintain some streaming appeal in fantasy leagues if he takes his next scheduled turn in the rotation against the Giants.

Padres' JP Sears: Won't start Saturday
Rotowire
Sears is no longer listed as the starting pitcher for Saturday's game against Miami.
Randy Vasquez will step in as San Diego's starter, but because he hasn't pitched more than three innings since June 27, Sears may still end up working in bulk relief Saturday. The 30-year-old lefty turned in one of his best outings of the season during his last appearance, allowing two runs (one earned) in five innings against Atlanta on Monday.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Vasquez will start Saturday's game against the Marlins.
Vasquez will be making his first start since returning from the injured list last weekend, but because he hasn't pitched more than three innings in a game since the beginning of July, he's likely to act as more of an opener for JP Sears, who was originally in line to start Saturday's contest. Vasquez has been struggling mightily on the mound as of late, giving up 16 earned runs in just 13.1 frames across his last five appearances.
Musgrove (elbow) threw 23 pitches in live batting practice Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Friday's session was shorter than the 30-to-40-pitch bullpen session he logged last Friday, but it still marks a significant step forward, as it's the first time he's faced live hitters since spring training. He's scheduled to throw against hitters again sometime next week and will likely do so a few more times before beginning an extended rehab assignment.

Rotowire
Miller picked up the save Friday against the Marlins, striking out one batter over a perfect inning.

The closer now possesses a 0.84 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 79:15 K:BB in 42.2 innings this season. Miller is tied with Riley O'Brien and Bryan Baker with 26 saves, which is good for second-best in MLB.

On the season, the left-hander has posted a 3.25 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 63:14 K:BB in 55.1 innings.

Padres' German Marquez: Allows homer in no-decision
Rotowire
Marquez did not factor into the decision in Friday's 4-2 win over Miami, allowing one run on three hits while striking out four over just 2.1 innings.
Marquez left the game after just 37 pitches with one out into the third inning and the Padres trailing 1-0. The 31-year-old allowed just one run courtesy of a solo homer by Joe Mack in the second. On the season, Marquez now possesses a 5.17 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 34:22 K:BB in 47 innings.
Padres' Griffin Canning: Struggles continue in bulk role
Rotowire
Canning (1-9) took the loss Thursday against Atlanta, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits across 2.2 innings. He struck out four.
The Padres elected to use an opener ahead of Canning on Thursday, but it didn't seem to help the right-hander. Canning gave up three homers in the loss -- two solo shots before Dominic Smith added a three-run blast in the fourth. Canning has now taken the loss in four consecutive outings while allowing eight earned runs across just 6.1 innings in his last two appearances. His ERA is up to 6.97 across 62 innings this season with a 1.63 WHIP and 63:32 K:BB.
Campusano is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Atlanta.
Campusano started behind the dish each of the last two days, so he'll get a break during Thursday's matinee. Freddy Fermin will do the catching and bat seventh for the Padres.

Padres' Jackson Merrill: Not starting versus Sale
Rotowire
Merrill is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Atlanta.

Padres' Griffin Canning: Following opener Thursday
Rotowire
Canning will be used as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Kyle Hart for Thursday's contest in Atlanta, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
The Atlanta lineup features three left-handers in its top four spots (Drake Baldwin, Matt Olson and Michael Harris), so San Diego will have the left-handed Hart cover the first inning or two before the right-handed Canning takes over. Righties have posted a .628 OPS against Canning this season, while lefties have pummeled him for a .939 OPS.
