The Padres recalled Reynolds from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

San Diego placed starter Ryan Bergert (forearm) on the 15-day injured list to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster for Reynolds. Bergert tossed just three innings before leaving Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Nationals after being struck on the forearm by a comebacker, so Reynolds will offer the Padres a fresh relief arm for Wednesday's series finale after San Diego needed four relievers to cover the final six frames of Tuesday's contest. Reynolds has delivered a 4.15 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB in 21.2 innings at the big-league level this season.

The Padres placed Bergert (forearm) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Bergert was struck in the forearm by a comebacker in his start during Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Nationals and was forced to leave the game early. Though X-rays came back negative, Bergert will get at least two weeks off to heal up from the bruise on his forearm, which is likely still presenting some discomfort for him when he throws. The Padres recalled right-hander Sean Reynolds from Triple-A El Paso to take Bergert's spot on the 26-man active roster, and the team will eventually need to add a replacement in the rotation for Bergert during next week's series in Philadelphia.

Bogaerts was scratched from Wednesday's lineup versus the Nationals due to left shoulder soreness.

Bogaerts missed a game earlier this month with the same issue. He's dealing with soreness in the same shoulder that he fractured last season, but the Padres haven't provided any indication at this point that he's had a significant setback. Jose Iglesias will shift over to shortstop for the Padres on Wednesday, and Tyler Wade will enter the lineup at second base.

Adams will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Padres, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Adams will draw his second straight start and appears poised to operate as the Nationals' No. 1 catcher for the foreseeable future after Washington placed Keibert Ruiz (head) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Though Ruiz's absence will open up more playing time for Adams, the 28-year-old will be on the radar as a fantasy pickup mainly in NL-only leagues or mixed leagues that start two catchers. Adams owns a .651 OPS over parts of five seasons in the majors and is slashing just .106/.132/.273 with three home runs and eight RBI across 68 plate appearances so far in 2025.

Bell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

The switch-hitting Bell has received most of his days off against left-handed pitching of late, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday against a right-hander (Nick Pivetta) as the Nationals open up a spot on the lineup for Alex Call. Bell had started in each of the Nationals' last four games, going 5-for-16 with a home run to bring his OPS up to .624 for the season.

Maldonado is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Maldonado clubbed his fourth home run of the season in Tuesday's win over the Nationals, but he'll grab a seat in Wednesday's afternoon contest. Elias Diaz will start at catcher and bat ninth for the Padres.

Tatis will start in right field and bat cleanup in Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals.

Padres manager Mike Shildt is switching up his batting order, as Tatis will hit somewhere other than the leadoff spot for the first time all season. Luis Arraez will move atop the lineup Wednesday and will be followed by Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill.

Cronenworth is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.

Cronenworth will get his first day off since May 23. Jose Iglesias will play second base and bat seventh against Nationals left-hander MacKenzie Gore.

Bart is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Bart went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in the series opener Monday and is now out of the lineup in favor of Henry Davis for the second day in a row. The two catchers have been sharing reps behind the plate since Bart returned from the 7-day injured list last week, with Bart receiving five starts to Davis' four.

Hayes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee.

Hayes is in the midst of a modest five-game hitting streak but will receive a day off in Wednesday's series finale. Jared Triolo will start at third base and bat seventh for the Pirates.
