Campusano went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Yankees.
Campusano delivered a walk-off blast in the 10th inning, taking Paul Blackburn deep. After a slight dip in playing time in late August, Campusano is back to getting fairly steady work between catcher and designated hitter, having started three of the last four games, though the Padres have faced three left-handed starters in that span. On the year, Campusano is batting .283 with an .849 OPS, six homers, 25 RBI, 19 runs scored and 11 doubles across 56 contests.

Padres' Walker Buehler: Decent in no-decision
Rotowire
Buehler allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Friday.
Buehler fared well in a tough matchup, limiting the damage to a Ben Rice solo home run in the third inning. Buehler has gone nine straight outings without allowing more than three runs, giving up a total of 17 runs (16 earned) over 47.1 innings in that span. The veteran right-hander is now at a 4.56 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 117:51 K:BB through 136.1 innings, but he's been very sharp in the second half of the campaign. Buehler is projected for a home start versus the Nationals in his next outing.
France went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Reds.
The first baseman gave the Padres an early lead when he got hold of a first-inning changeup from Brandon Williamson and dropped it over the left-field fence. The homer was France's 20th of the year, tying his career high in a remarkable comeback campaign after he struggled to stick in the majors the prior two seasons and bounced through four different organizations. Over his last 25 games, France has delivered a .302/.411/.488 slash line with four doubles, four home runs, 10 runs and 13 RBI.

Padres' Casey Mize: Hit hard in Wednesday's loss
Rotowire
Mize (5-9) took the loss Wednesday as the Padres fell 7-3 to the Reds, coughing up four runs on five hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out four.
The right-hander was once again dragged down by one bad frame, as all four Cincy runs against Mize crossed the plate in the second inning on a three-run homer by Juan Brito and a solo shot by Hector Rodriguez. Mize has more long balls allowed (six) than strikeouts (five) in his last three starts, stumbling to a 7.71 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 11.2 innings over that stretch. He'll try to turn things around in his next outing, which lines up to come early next week at home against the Nationals.
Padres' Joe Musgrove: Rehab slowed by recovery issues
Rotowire
The Padres are pausing Musgrove's (elbow) rehab assignment because he's having issues recovering between starts, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Musgrove feels fine during his starts and has pitched well on his rehab assignment, most recently tossing five innings of one-run ball in his last outing. However, he's felt fatigued in between outings, specifically in the area of his surgically repaired right elbow. Musgrove had been slated to make a fifth rehab start this week, but it's now unclear when he will take the ball next. The Padres remain hopeful that Musgrove will be able to pitch for them before the end of the regular season, but it's far from guaranteed. The 33-year-old has not thrown a pitch in the majors since the 2024 postseason.

Padres' Fernando Tatis: Another two-homer performance
Rotowire
Tatis went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Reds.
Hitting leadoff and playing second base, Tatis took Nick Lodolo deep in the fifth inning to give the Padres a brief 2-1 lead before driving an Emilio Pagan fastball over the right-field fence in the ninth. It's the third two-homer effort from Tatis in the last 13 games, and his early-season power drought is a distant memory -- over his last 25 contests, Tatis boasts a .290/.345/.680 slash line with 11 home runs, five steals, 20 RBI and 21 runs.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Can't complete five frames in Cincy
Rotowire
Vasquez didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Reds, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out three.
The right-hander failed to complete five innings for the first time since July 30, tossing 50 of 69 pitches for strikes before being lifted from a 2-2 tie. Vasquez has allowed more than two runs just once in 10 appearances since the All-Star break, posting a 2.68 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB over 43.2 innings while going 4-0, but despite that success he could be headed for the bullpen in September, with both Joe Musgrove (elbow) and Nick Pivetta (forearm) closing in on their returns from the IL.

Padres' Ethan Salas: Batting sixth in major-league debut
Rotowire
Salas will start at catcher and bat sixth in his major-league debut Wednesday in Cincinnati.
Salas was among the Padres' September call-ups Tuesday and is set for his first start in the big leagues during Wednesday's series finale. The 20-year-old catcher has slashed .296/.374/.448 with 10 home runs, 17 stolen bases and a 47:58 BB:K over 96 games between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A El Paso this season. Salas is likely to see the bulk of the starts at catcher down the stretch for the Padres.

Padres' Manny Machado: Sitting out afternoon contest
Rotowire
Machado is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cincinnati.
It's the first day off since the All-Star break for Machado, who has just a .623 OPS with one home run since the beginning of August. Jake Cronenworth will start at third base while Machado gets a breather.
Cronenworth is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.
Cronenworth started all 28 games in August for the Friars and will receive a day off after posting a .232/.295/.313 slash line during that span. Fernando Tatis is shifting to the keystone Tuesday, which opens up right field for Jase Bowen.
The Padres placed Rengifo (knee) on the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Rengifo was diagnosed with a complete ACL tear and MCL sprain of his right knee Monday, so the move to the 60-day IL is hardly a surprise with him out for the season. The 29-year-old opened the campaign with the Brewers but was cut loose after posting a .534 OPS in 57 games, but he then signed with the Padres and found success with a .784 OPS in 38 contests prior to the injury.
