"Reds Suffer Back-to-Back Defeats as Cubs Dominate"

"Padres Prepare to Buy as Performance Dictates; Sanchez Rests, Machado and Soto Face Digit Issues"

The San Diego Padres are prepared to make moves before the trade deadline if their performance warrants it, with a focus on adding a starting pitcher, relievers for higher-leverage situations, or a designated hitter. The decision will depend on how the team is playing leading up to the deadline. The bullpen has been struggling, and Fernando Tatis Jr. left a game with an ankle injury, potentially impacting the team's success. Catcher Gary Sánchez finally rested after nine straight starts, and Luis Campusano is expected to join the team soon. Manny Machado hit his 300th career home run, and Alek Jacob made his MLB debut. Both Juan Soto and Machado have been dealing with finger pain but continue to play through it.
