Hinch said SP Clayton Richard (illness) made an adjustment while on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tucson. "A.J. told me Clayton's arm slot looked higher and he had better sink and velocity on his fastball than we saw in April," said manager Bud Black. "And Clayton feels good today." Richard allowed two runs and six hits while walking none and striking out four with Tucson Tuesday, May 21. Richard could come off the disabled list to start early next week. Fantasy Tip: Downward movement on his pitches will help Richard be more successful, especially at PETCO Park. It's worth monitoring whether a higher arm slot will generate success for Richard upon his return. Share: Padres | Burch Smith optioned Thu, 23 May 2013 11:05:43 -0700 The San Diego Padres optioned SP Burch Smith to the minors Thursday, May 23. Fantasy Tip: Smith is making room for the return of Clayton Richard (illness), who will slot back into the rotation. Richard has been terribly inconsistent and is basically a spot starter, at best, in deep mixed leagues for now. Share: Padres | Carlos Quentin has injection Wed, 22 May 2013 16:47:43 -0700 San Diego Padres OF Carlos Quentin (knee) received an injection in his left knee after an awkward slide Tuesday, May 21, and he is out Wednesday, May 22. However, he should return this weekend in Arizona. Fantasy Tip: Quentin's knees have been a chronic problem throughout his career. Along with a putrid batting average and long periods of no production the injuries don't help one bit. Quentin can provide you with nice power numbers if he's playing consistently, but at what cost? Those in very deep mixed leagues can consider it if they can take on that kind of baggage. Share: Padres | Cameron Maybin, Logan Forsythe to play in games Wed, 22 May 2013 16:27:24 -0700 San Diego Padres OF Cameron Maybin (wrist) and 2B Logan Forsythe (foot) will play in rehab games Friday, May 24, in Arizona. Fantasy Tip: Forsythe probably won't get much playing time in San Diego when he's healthy since he's blocked at third base and second base. Maybin, on the other hand, should return to starting duties in center field, pushing Chris Denorfia back to a platoon in right field. Maybin, although he's disappointed with the bat since moving to San Diego, will remain a decent source of steals in deep mixed leagues. Share: Padres | Yasmani Grandal back on the field Sun, 19 May 2013 20:15:58 -0700 San Diego Padres C Yasmani Grandal returned to game action Saturday, May 18, for Triple-A Tucson, catching nine innings. He went 2-for-4 with a run scored and RBI. He is allowed to play 10 minor league games before he is eligible to return from his 50-game suspension and play for the Padres May 28. Fantasy Tip: Grandal is expected to split time behind the dish with Nick Hundley when he returns, and manager Bud Black has said he will go with the hot hand. Grandal is worth adding in all NL-only fantasy leagues, and is decent depth in mixed formats in leagues which require two starting backstops. Share: Padres | Cameron Maybin might begin rehab soon Sun, 19 May 2013 20:15:16 -0700 San Diego Padres OF Cameron Maybin (wrist) might be headed out on a minor-league rehab assignment as soon as Friday, May 24, if he responds well to swinging the bat this week. He is expected to hit in the batting cage on the field Monday, May 20, through Wednesday, May 22, to test the injury. Share: Padres | Carlos Quentin activated Sat, 18 May 2013 14:43:23 -0700 The San Diego Padres have activated OF Carlos Quentin from paternity leave. In a corresponding move, the team optioned RP Brad Brach to Triple-A Tucson. Share: Padres | Clayton Richard rehab update Sat, 18 May 2013 11:40:50 -0700 San Diego Padres SP Clayton Richard (illness) allowed one run over six innings in his most recent rehab start for Triple-A Tucson. He is scheduled to make one more rehab start before being activated from the disabled list. Share: Padres | Carlos Quentin to return Saturday Fri, 17 May 2013 19:06:10 -0700 Updating a previous report, the San Diego Padres will activate OF Carlos Quentin (personal) from the paternity leave list Saturday, May 18. Share: Padres | Carlos Quentin on paternity list Fri, 17 May 2013 14:31:46 -0700 The San Diego Padres placed OF Carlos Quentin on the paternity list Friday, May 17, and recalled SP Tim Stauffer from Triple-A Tucson. Also, RP Thad Weber was designated for assignment. Share: Padres | Not looking to trade Chase Headley Fri, 17 May 2013 13:59:01 -0700 People with ties to the San Diego Padres are saying that it's "unlikely" that the team looks to seriously trade 3B Chase Headley this summer despite the fact that Headley isn't interested in discussing a contract extension until after the season. The Padres are believed to be seeking a five-year deal worth around $100 million, but their talks with Headley didn't get very far last winter. Headley will become a free agent after the 2014 season. The Cleveland Indians, Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks had been interested in Headley in the past. Fantasy Tip: Teams will try to pry Headley away from SD this summer, you can be sure of that. However, the Padres prefer to keep Headley in the fold, so it'll take an offer that they can't refuse in order to give him up. This could get interesting. Share: Padres | Logan Forsythe does some activities Thu, 16 May 2013 18:56:25 -0700 San Diego Padres 2B Logan Forsythe (foot) took batting practice and fielded ground balls Thursday, May 16. Share: Padres | Cameron Maybin hits in cage Thu, 16 May 2013 18:51:38 -0700 San Diego Padres OF Cameron Maybin (wrist) hit in a batting cage Thursday, May 16, and is scheduled to do it again Friday, May 17. Share: Padres | Logan Forsythe not ready for baseball activities Wed, 15 May 2013 15:31:34 -0700 San Diego Padres 2B Logan Forsythe (foot), who is eligible to come off the 60-day disabled list May 22, will not start with baseball activities this week. Fantasy Tip: Forsythe lost his chance to make a real impact in the infield for the Padres to open the season with Chase Headley out. Now, Headley is back and Jedd Gyorko has dug in at second base. Alexi Amarista has been effective as a super utility man, too, so Forsythe doesn't really have any spot to make a fantasy impact in. Share: Padres | Tyson Ross headed back to rotation Wed, 15 May 2013 15:11:10 -0700 San Diego Padres SP Tyson Ross (shoulder), who missed 14 games with a subluxation of his left shoulder, will continue pitching out of the bullpen until he's healthy enough to swing a bat again. Once he can, he'll jump back into the starting rotation. "We still see him as a starting pitcher," said manager Bud Black. "But that will be left shoulder-related and whether he's physically able to do that. Right now, his strength is improving. In due time, he has to get in a cage." Fantasy Tip: Ross has struggled with command in his career, but late last season he showed ground-ball rates that gave optimism for his future. A move to SD made him even more intriguing. Clayton Richard (illness) will return to the rotation soon, so it's unknown who exactly Ross would replace in the starting five when he's healthy. Jason Marquis or Eric Stults might be in jeopardy if they aren't pitching well by then. Share:  |
