Padres' Brett Sullivan Returns to Bolster Catching Depth

Gary Sanchez's hot streak continues as he hits two home runs in the Padres' win over the Rangers. The arrival of Luis Campusano has allowed Sanchez to rest and DH more frequently, resulting in improved performance. Both catchers have been alternating between catching and DHing, with Sanchez hitting .263/.356/.711 in his first 12 games of the second half. Meanwhile, Michael Wacha is expected to join the Padres' rotation next month after recovering from shoulder inflammation. He will face live hitters on Monday and aims to return at full strength to contribute to the team's playoff push.

"Padres Trade Gone Bad: Joe's Endless Struggles and Decreasing BABIP"

The San Diego Padres are likely closing the chapter on the trade that brought Austin Nola to the team in 2020, which is being considered one of the worst trades in A.J. Preller's tenure as President of Baseball Operations. While Nola contributed to two playoff runs, the poor evaluation of the two relievers acquired in the trade and the players given up by the Padres have made the trade a disappointment. Meanwhile, Joe Musgrove showed resilience in his latest start despite a minor groin issue, and the Padres are considering their options for the trade deadline, including the possibility of becoming sellers. The team's inconsistent performance in close games and low batting average on balls in play are areas of concern.
