Ji Hwan Bae was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Luis Campusano C | SD
Padres' Luis Campusano: Continues to swing hot bat
Campusano went 2-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in a 7-5 victory versus the Guardians on Friday.
Campusano came up with two big hits Friday -- a two-run double in the fifth inning to give San Diego its first lead and an RBI double in the seventh to provide an insurance run. The 27-year-old logged his fifth multi-hit effort over his past 11 contests, a span during which he's slashing a sizzling .410/.465/.590 with one homer, four doubles and 10 RBI. Campusano was replaced behind the plate by Freddy Fermin in the ninth inning, as Fermin remains the far superior defensive catcher. However, Campusano's bat has been so potent that he's started at catcher more often than Fermin of late.

Fernando Tatis Jr. RF | SD
Padres' Fernando Tatis: Mashes 13th homer Friday
Tatis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Friday in a 7-5 win over Cleveland.
Tatis' lone hit was a 404-foot solo homer to left field in fifth inning. The star outfielder appears to have discovered his power stroke this month -- he's gone deep five times across nine games since Aug. 5 after posting just eight long balls through his first 112 contests this season. Tatis has lifted his OPS over 30 points to .778 with the power surge, and he's now at 13 total long balls to go along with 28 stolen bases.
