Miller picked up the save in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers. He struck out one over a perfect inning.

Miller made quick work of the Dodgers, retiring the side in order to secure a save and snap the Padres' eight-game losing streak. The club's struggles have limited the fireballing right-hander's opportunities to pick up saves of late, as Sunday's save was his first since June 22. Across 36.2 innings this season, Miller owns a 0.98 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 67:13 K:BB while converting all 22 of his save opportunities. Miller's 22 saves are tied with Riley O'Brien for the National League lead, while only Bryan Baker (23) and Cade Smith (26) have more across MLB.

Sheehan (4-6) took the loss Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against the Padres. He struck out five.

The right-hander was mostly effective, holding the Padres to just one run, though after throwing 96 pitches (60 strikes) and surrendering a one-out double to Fernando Tatis, the Dodgers opted to pull Sheehan in the fifth inning. While the 26-year-old didn't provide significant length and was charged with the loss, his game-high 15 whiffs and ability to keep the ball in the yard were encouraging in what has been a disappointing campaign. Sheehan will take a 4.91 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 86:25 K:BB across 77 innings (16 starts) into his next start, tentatively scheduled for next Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Sears (2-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing a hit and two walks over five scoreless innings against the Dodgers. He struck out five.

With the Padres looking to snap an eight-game losing streak, Sears stepped up and silenced the vaunted Dodgers offense over five shutout frames. The southpaw has spent the majority of the 2026 campaign with Triple-A El Paso but has been called upon to fill a spot in the big-league rotation due to a rash of injuries. Sears will take a 4.70 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB across 15.1 innings (three starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Friday against the Blue Jays.

Ruiz went 1-for-3 with a double, walk, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Ruiz is up to 18 steals on the season, though his cold bat has decreased his opportunities on the bases lately. He has gone just 3-for-17 with one walk and five strikeouts over his last 11 contests, though he still has four steals in that span. The outfielder is batting .244 with an .838 OPS, four home runs, nine RBI, 23 runs scored, eight doubles and one triple over 106 plate appearances this season. Ruiz could get a longer runway in center field if Jakob Marsee (knee) misses time after exiting Sunday's contest early.

Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Jimenez went yard in the third inning off Gage Jump. Jimenez had started July going 0-for-9 over three games after hitting just .205 over 14 contests in June. He continues to occupy a part-time role in the Marlins' infield, and he hasn't shown enough consistency to carve out a larger share of playing time. Jimenez is hitting .202 with a .571 OPS, one homer, six RBI, 10 runs scored, four doubles and a stolen base over 114 plate appearances.

Lopez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk, three total RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Lopez is sizzling with a trio of three-hit games over his last four contests. He's also homered in consecutive games and has at least one extra-base hit in five of his last eight games. For the season, the shortstop is batting .346 with an .896 OPS, nine homers, 43 RBI, 59 runs scored, 25 doubles, five triples and 17 stolen bases through 89 contests.

Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs, a double and two walks in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Hernandez homered in the first and sixth innings. This was his second multi-homer game of the season, and he's hit nine of his 11 long balls since the start of June. The outfielder is batting .234 with a .771 OPS, 34 RBI, 22 runs scored, six doubles, one triple and five stolen bases over 207 plate appearances this season. Hernandez continues to battle with Griffin Conine for playing time in the corner outfield spots.

Perez (5-6) struck out eight over seven perfect innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Perez didn't get a chance to go for history, as manager Clayton McCullough pulled the right-hander at 92 pitches (56 strikes). Lake Bachar then made a mess of things in the eighth inning, and Pete Fairbanks struggled in the ninth, but the Marlins had just enough of a cushion to escape with the win. Perez has allowed just two runs over 17 innings across three starts since he returned from a right gracilis muscle strain. He's at a 3.84 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 89:32 K:BB through 79.2 innings over 15 starts this season. Perez is projected to make his next start at home versus the Guardians.

Perdomo went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Brewers.

Perdomo has gone 12-for-40 (.300) with three extra-base hits and two steals over his last 10 games. The shortstop was the only Diamondback with multiple hits in this contest. He's batting .243 on the year while adding a .708 OPS, five home runs, 31 RBI, 39 runs scored, 13 doubles, three triples and 13 steals across 86 contests.

Rodriguez (7-3) allowed two runs on five hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six-plus innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Brewers.

Rodriguez blanked the Brewers for six innings, but he served up a two-run home run to Jake Bauers in the seventh. This was Rodriguez's fourth straight quality start, a span in which he's allowed just four runs over 26.2 innings. He's also avoided walking any batters over his last two outings. For the season, the left-hander is at a 2.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 74:38 K:BB through 108 innings across 18 starts. Rodriguez is lined up to make his next start in a tough test on the road versus the Dodgers.
