Andujar was removed from Sunday's contest versus the Mets in the seventh inning due to a hamstring injury, Annie Heilbrunn of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Andujar reached on an infield single in the bottom of the seventh frame and was removed for pinch runner Bryce Johnson. After the game, manager Craig Stammen said Andujar "tweaked his hammy a little bit" and characterized the slugger's removal as precautionary. Stammen said the team will evaluate Andujar moving forward, but it's not yet clear if he's slated to miss any time.
Padres' Freddy Fermin: Goes deep again in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Fermin went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an RBI double in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Mets.
Fermin drove in all of the Padres' runs, highlighted by a two-run homer on a center-cut fastball from Sean Manaea in the fifth inning. The backstop has now homered in consecutive games after failing to go deep in his first 45 appearances of the season. Despite hitting a lowly .147 with a .488 OPS in 126 plate appearances, Fermin has continued to operate as San Diego's primary catcher, especially with Luis Campusano (toe) sidelined since May 7.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Ineffective in fourth loss
Rotowire
Vasquez (5-4) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks over four-plus innings in a 7-3 loss to the Mets. He struck out three.
Vasquez struggled to find a rhythm, surrendering a run in each of the first two innings before allowing another run in the fifth. The right-hander exited with the bases loaded and nobody out in that frame, handing a difficult situation to Yuki Matsui, who allowed one of the inherited runners to score. After getting off to a blazing start with a 1.88 ERA through his first five starts, Vasquez now owns a 3.63 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 53:20 K:BB across 13 starts (69.1 innings). He'll look to get back in the win column in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Orioles.
Song went 2-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mets.
Song swiped a bag in the third inning, but he was thrown out attempting to steal home in the fifth. He still got involved in the offense -- Song, No. 9 hitter Freddy Fermin and leadoff man Fernando Tatis were the only Padres with hits in the contest. Song was 0-for-11 over his last nine games before Saturday, though he's now started four of the last six games at second base. The uptick in playing time could stick, at least against right-handed pitchers, as Tatis appears set to retake a regular role in the outfield with Ramon Laureano (hip) out for the year. Song is batting .194 with a .550 OPS, no home runs, three steals on five attempts, four RBI and five runs scored over 37 plate appearances this season, so he'll need to hit consistently to keep a decent share of playing time.

Padres' Freddy Fermin: Hits go-ahead homer
Rotowire
Fermin went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mets.
Marcus Semien went yard in the top of the seventh inning to give the Mets a 2-1 lead, but Fermin's two-run blast swung the score back in favor of the Padres in their half of the frame. It's the first homer of the year for Fermin and his first hit of any kind since May 14 in Milwaukee. He's still playing regularly, though Rodolfo Duran has cut into Fermin's time a bit recently while the Padres wait for Luis Campusano (toe) to return. On the year, Fermin is hitting a paltry .133 with a .431 OPS, six RBI, 12 runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases over 122 plate appearances.

Padres' Mason Miller: Converts 18th save
Rotowire
Miller allowed a walk and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mets.
Miller allowed a run in a non-save situation Friday, but he was strong when he needed to be Saturday. Over his last nine appearances (9.1 innings), he has a 17:9 K:BB, though the recent lack of control has yet to lead to a blown save for him. He's converted all 18 of his save opportunities so far while pitching to a 1.01 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 51:12 K:BB through 26.2 innings. Considering Miller has pitched consecutive days, Jason Adam or Adrian Morejon may be called upon for a save chance if one comes up Sunday.

Padres' Griffin Canning: Steady in no-decision
Rotowire
Canning allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Mets.
After some struggles early in the year, Canning has settled in fairly well, though he's still on the hunt for his first win. He's gone at least five frames in his last four outings, allowing 10 runs across 21.2 innings in that span. The 30-year-old is at a 6.34 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 33:17 K:BB through 32.2 innings over seven starts, so there is still some risk when he draws a tougher matchup. He's projected to make his next start on the road in Baltimore.
King (4-5) allowed four runs on six hits and no walks while striking out four over six innings to take the loss Friday versus the Mets.
Three of the four runs on his line came via home runs by Jared Young and Luis Torrens. This was just the second time all season King has allowed multiple homers, though he has been taken deep in three straight outings. In that span, a three-game losing streak, he's given up a total of 13 runs over 15.2 innings. On the year, King has a 3.41 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 69:29 K:BB through 74 innings over 13 starts. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at home versus the Reds.
The Padres placed Laureano (hip) on the 60-day injured list Friday.
The move comes shortly after the team announced Laureano is expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair his torn right labrum. Gavin Sheets is likely to move to left field for the remainder of the year, while Ty France becomes the team's new primary first baseman.

Padres' Jhony Brito: Activated, optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Padres reinstated Brito (forearm) from the injured list Friday and optioned him to Triple-A El Paso.
Brito has been on the injured list all season while working his way back from the UCL internal brace surgery and flexor tendon repair procedure he underwent in May 2025. He began playing in rehab games May 7 and has posted a 3.33 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across six appearances between rookie ball and Double-A. He'll move up to Triple-A now that he's fully healthy, and a promotion to the majors could come at some point if he continues to pitch well.

Padres' David Morgan: Rejoins big club
Rotowire
The Padres recalled Morgan from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
With Jeremiah Estrada (knee) headed to the injured list, Morgan will return to the big leagues to replenish the Padres' bullpen depth. The 26-year-old righty owns a 6.08 ERA and 2.10 WHIP through 13.1 innings in the majors this season and will likely be limited to low-leverage work as long as he's with San Diego.

Padres' Jeremiah Estrada: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
The Padres placed Estrada on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Wednesday, with right knee inflammation.
Estrada gave up a run and took the loss during his last appearance Tuesday, and he seems to have come away from the outing with a knee issue. Manager Craig Stammen said Friday that he doesn't expect the right-hander's injury to linger, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, so he could be cleared to return when first eligible. In the meantime, David Morgan will come up from Triple-A El Paso to round out San Diego's bullpen.

Padres' Ramon Laureano: Likely out for season
Rotowire
Laureano underwent surgery Friday to repair a torn right labrum, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Manager Craig Stammen said that Laureano's surgery is expected to keep him out for 4-to-5 months, making it extremely unlikely that he plays again this season. If the 31-year-old isn't able to make it back before the end of the year, he'll finish 2026 with a .203/.286/.374 slash line alongside seven homers, 21 RBI, 23 runs and seven steals over 53 games. Gavin Sheets will likely take over as San Diego's primary left fielder for the rest of the regular season, which will allow Ty France to start regularly at first base.

Padres' Miguel Andujar: Sitting down Friday
Rotowire
Andujar isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.
Andujar will grab a seat to begin the series after going 3-for-12 during San Diego's three-game set against the Phillies. Gavin Sheets will move into the DH role while Andujar sits, giving Ty France a start at first base.
