  Campusano went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored while also drawing a walk in Saturday's win over the Rockies.

The catcher would later top off his night with a solo homer in the eighth, giving him his eighth long ball of the season and his first in the month of August. Campusano reached four times in the contest, and he's now posted multiple hits in five of his last 10 starts. Over that stretch he's batting .323 (11-for-34) with two homers, six RBI and five runs scored.

• Padres' Luis Campusano: Homers in loss

  07/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Campusano went 1-for-1 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Atlanta. Campusano entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh and took A.J. Minter deep for a two-run blast to make it a 5-3 deficit for the Padres. The long ball was his first hit in eight at-bats since being activated from the injured list July 5 and was his sixth homer on the year. Campusano has started just two games since his activation and will need to recapture his form from 2023 if he is to earn a larger role. The 25-year-old backstop is slashing .230/.276/.376 with 19 extra-base hits, 33 RBI, 26 runs and a 14:29 BB:K in 228 plate appearances.
