Lopez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, two walks and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Lopez has gone 19-for-50 (.380) over his last 13 contests, hitting safely in 11 of them. This was his first homer since Aug. 30 versus the Nationals. The infielder is batting .307 with a .794 OPS, 11 homers, 71 RBI, 91 runs scored, 32 stolen bases, 32 doubles and nine triples over 151 contests.

Perez allowed five runs on eight hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out four over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday.

Perez has given up 26 runs (24 earned) over his last 21.1 innings across five starts. He's also surrendered seven home runs in that span after giving up solo shots to Samad Taylor and Fernando Tatis in this contest. The late fade has put Perez at a 4.17 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 159:67 K:BB through 149 innings over 28 starts -- he had carried a 3.17 ERA prior to his recent poor stretch. He's well over his previous high mark for innings, which was 128 between the majors and minors in 2023 before Tommy John surgery wiped out his 2024 campaign. Perez is projected for one more start this season, which is lined up to be at home versus Atlanta.

France went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

France has carried a hot bat with multiple hits in six of his last eight games. He has also recorded an extra-base hit in six of those contests. France is batting .304 with an .893 OPS, 21 home runs, 70 RBI, 56 runs scored, 24 doubles, two triples and a stolen base over 126 contests this year and continues to operate as the Padres' primary first baseman.

Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

Cronenworth has hit safely in nine straight games, going 13-for-36 (.361) in that span. He has just one extra-base hit, a triple, during the streak. The infielder is now batting .223 with a .608 OPS, five home runs, nine steals, 31 RBI, 42 runs scored, 11 doubles and a triple over 102 contests this season.

Taylor went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and a second RBI in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

Taylor was denied a fourth straight multi-hit effort, but he has still hit safely in eight of his last nine contests. The homer was just his second of the season -- he continues to provide more speed than power. Taylor is batting .328 with an .830 OPS, 17 RBI, 25 runs scored, three doubles, two triples and 10 stolen bases over 41 games.

Tatis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

Tatis has gotten on base in 14 straight games, going 18-for-56 (.321) with five homers, five steals and 10 RBI in that span. The star outfielder is up to 24 long balls on the year, just one shy of matching his regular-season total from last year. He's batting .285 with an .819 OPS, 80 RBI, 93 runs scored, 36 steals, 30 doubles and three triples through 153 contests while providing steady production out of the leadoff spot.

Miller allowed one run on one hit and struck out four without walking a batter over 1.2 innings, taking a blown save in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

Miller worked out of a problem created by Adrian Morejon in the eighth inning, but Griffin Conine took the Padres' closer deep for a game-tying solo shot during the ninth. After a blown save to end August, Miller had converted all five of his save chances in September prior to Saturday, which was his first appearance in five days. He's still at an elite 1.23 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 123:23 K:BB through 66 innings while converting 37 of 40 save chances this year.

Mize allowed five runs on five hits and five walks while striking out two over three innings in a no-decision versus the Marlins on Saturday.

Mize has allowed 14 runs in 17.2 innings across his four starts in September. Saturday's outing was a particular low point for the right-hander, as the five walks were a season high. Overall, he has a 3.96 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 109:36 K:BB through 127.1 innings over 25 starts, but he's at a 6.64 ERA across 40.2 innings since being acquired by the Padres. Mize is tentatively projected to make his last start of the regular season at home versus the Diamondbacks.

Tucker was removed from Saturday's game against the Giants after fouling a pitch off his right knee/shin, but manager Dave Roberts said the lopsided score played into that decision, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Alex Call replaced Tucker in right field in the seventh inning with the Dodgers leading 10-4. Roberts downplayed the issue, saying that he expects Tucker to be in the lineup Sunday. However, the skipper added the caveat that the team will wait and see how Tucker feels in the morning before deciding on his availability.

Hill went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Dodgers.

Hill has gone 5-for-20 (.250) with a homer and three RBI over the first five games of the Giants' last road trip of the year. The outfielder has struggled to adjust in his first taste of the majors, batting .239 with a .673 OPS across 29 contests. He's added a home run, 15 RBI, 12 runs scored, six doubles and two steals through 110 plate appearances.
