Tatis went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Tatis started the comeback effort for the Padres with his third-inning homer to answer Arizona's two-run effort in the top half of that frame. Tatis is 10-for-33 (.303) with four extra-base hits and two stolen bases across nine games to begin July. For the season, the star outfielder is up to a .262/.358/.450 slash line with 16 homers, 41 RBI, 64 runs scored, 19 stolen bases, 13 doubles and two triples over 91 games. He's primarily served as San Diego's leadoff hitter and could threaten for his first 30-30 season with a strong second half.

Machado went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Machado has three homers over his last seven games. The third baseman is batting a decent .278 (10-for-36) over nine contests in July, a little bit down from his .291 average for the season. He's added strong all-around production with an .838 OPS, 16 homers, 54 RBI, 55 runs scored, eight stolen bases and 22 doubles through 93 games.

Suarez struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Suarez threw nine of 13 pitches for strikes in this appearance, which was his third straight perfect inning. He's earned a save in each of those outings while racking up four strikeouts. The Padres' closer is up to 27 saves on the year while posting a 3.63 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB across 39.2 innings.

Vasquez allowed two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Vasquez limited the damage to two runs in the third inning, both of which came on sacrifice flies. It was still an inefficient performance for the right-hander, who threw just 52 of 86 pitches for strikes while walking at least four batters for the fifth time this season. He's fallen short of the five-inning mark twice in his last three starts and has taken nine straight no-decisions, in part due to his inability to pitch deeper into games. Vasquez is at a 3.80 ERA despite a 1.39 WHIP and 50:46 K:BB over 94.2 innings through 19 starts this season. The Padres have games scheduled for 13 straight days coming out of the All-Star break, so Vasquez's spot in the rotation looks safe for the immediate future.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Athletics.

Albies put an end to his 36-game homer drought when he took J.T. Ginn deep in the seventh inning. During that span, Albies batted just .188 and slugged a pathetic .233, logging four doubles and one triple with a 12:24 BB:K. The second baseman has struggled overall in 2025, slashing .221/.292/.320 with seven homers, 29 RBI, 38 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and seven stolen bases in 92 contests. The decline is a continuation of his 2024 performance, though Albies' prolonged poor hitting has yet to cost him the everyday role at the keystone, where he has maintained steady defense with just two errors this season.

Profar went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Athletics.

Profar has hit safely in six of eight games since returning from his 80-game PED suspension. In that span, he's lifted three homers while going 8-for-34 (.235) at the plate. As expected, Profar has settled back in as Atlanta's primary left fielder, and he's delivering notable power. He's also struck out nine times since his return, though none of them came Thursday, so it shouldn't be too long until his timing is all the way back.

Strider allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out 11 over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Thursday.

Strider got off to a shaky start, allowing a three-run home run to Tyler Soderstrom in the first inning. That would be all the damage on Strider's ledger for the game, and he was able to dial up double-digit strikeouts for the second time this season. He's allowed three homers and six total runs over 12.2 innings in July after going five starts without giving up a long ball. The Atlanta ace is at a 3.94 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 74:24 K:BB over 61.2 innings through 11 starts this season, and he's gone at least five innings in eight straight outings. Strider will get some time to rest over the All-Star break before likely taking the mound at home versus the Yankees next week.

Morgan (elbow) began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Thursday.

Morgan previously kicked off a rehab assignment in mid-June, only to be pulled off the assignment due to a setback. The right-hander has apparently resumed throwing recently without issue, so he'll now restart his assignment in Arizona and will likely eventually move up to Triple-A Iowa before getting activated from the 60-day injured list.

Snell (shoulder) completed two shutout innings while allowing one hit and striking out four in a rehab start with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Thursday.

In his first rehab outing as he works his way back from shoulder inflammation, Snell threw 31 pitches (23 strikes). The expectation is that he will require three or four total outings in the minors prior to being activated from the 60-day injured list, so the left-hander appears on track for a return in late July or early August.

Hays went 2-for-3 with three RBI and a walk in Thursday's 6-0 win over Miami.

It was Hays' first game with multiple hits and multiple RBI since June 30. Although the 30-year-old outfielder has primarily been a small-side platoon player over the past couple years, he's seeing more action against right-handed pitching in 2025, including Thursday's starter Cal Quantrill. Hays is hitting .366 with one home run, six doubles, three triples and eight RBI over 41 at-bats against left-handed pitching, but he's batting a weaker .248 versus righties in 2025.
