Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Swipes bag in win
Song went 1-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Blue Jays.
Song was in the lineup at third base for this contest while Manny Machado rested his legs as the designated hitter. Over nine games in July, Song has gone 6-for-27 (.222 average) with five steals and two extra-base hits. Song has now started in six of the Padres' last seven games and looks like he'll get a chance to play on a near-everyday basis while shifting between second base and third base.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Resting up Friday
Song isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.
After going just 1-for-13 with an RBI and two runs scored in four games against the Diamondbacks, Song will take a seat to begin Friday's series opener against Toronto. Fernando Tatis will move to second base as a result, opening up right field for Jase Bowen.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Notches 10th steal
Song went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
Song continues to be effective on the basepaths. While he's gone a modest 7-for-27 (.259) at the plate over his last 13 games, he's notched six of his 10 steals on the year in that span. The infielder is batting .221 with a .617 OPS, one home run, 10 RBI, 12 runs scored and three doubles over 88 plate appearances overall this year. Song could see a short-term uptick in playing time at third base while Manny Machado (foot) is ailing.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Tallies two steals Sunday
Song went 1-for-3 with a run scored, two steals and a walk in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers.
Song drew the start at second base and made the most of his two times reaching base, stealing second in both the seventh and eighth innings. The 29-year-old has looked much improved at the plate of late, going 9-for-31 (.290) over his past 15 games. The former KBO standout is slashing .239/.338/.328 with one homer, nine RBI, 10 runs and nine stolen bases across 77 big-league plate appearances this season, seeing most of his action at the keystone but struggling to earn consistent playing time.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Posts seventh steal
Song went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Dodgers.
Song has three steals over his last eight games, and he's also gone 5-for-13 at the plate in that span. The infielder is filling a part-time role, and his path to playing time is a bit tougher after Jake Cronenworth returned to the lineup Monday to take over the starting job at second base. Song is batting .238 with a .666 OPS, one home run, seven steals, nine RBI and nine runs scored over 72 plate appearances. The bulk of Song's playing time will likely come when Manny Machado needs to rest his legs as the designated hitter.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Swats first MLB homer
Song went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a blowout loss to the Cubs on Wednesday.
The Padres didn't have much to celebrate on a day when they were blown out of the water by a 23-3 margin. However, Song enjoyed a personal milestone when he hit his first major-league home run with a 385-foot solo blast in the fifth inning. The 29-year-old hasn't shown much power so far with a .100 ISO through 69 plate appearances, though he's demonstrated good plate discipline with a 9:13 BB:K and has swiped six bases on eight attempts.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Steals in consecutive games
Song went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over Atlanta.
Song has swiped a bag in each of the first two games of this series versus Atlanta. He did so Monday coming off the bench, and he was able to contribute again Tuesday in a start at second base. The infielder is still scrapping for playing time since Fernando Tatis continues to bounce between right field and second base. In a part-time role this season, Song is batting .208 with a .545 OPS, six steals, six RBI, seven runs scored and two doubles over 60 plate appearances. He's still looking for his first big-league home run.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Two hits, steal in win
Song went 2-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mets.
Song swiped a bag in the third inning, but he was thrown out attempting to steal home in the fifth. He still got involved in the offense -- Song, No. 9 hitter Freddy Fermin and leadoff man Fernando Tatis were the only Padres with hits in the contest. Song was 0-for-11 over his last nine games before Saturday, though he's now started four of the last six games at second base. The uptick in playing time could stick, at least against right-handed pitchers, as Tatis appears set to retake a regular role in the outfield due to Ramon Laureano (hip) being out for the year. Song is batting .194 with a .550 OPS, no home runs, three steals on five attempts, four RBI and five runs scored over 37 plate appearances this season, so he'll need to hit consistently to keep a decent share of playing time.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Sitting in second straight
Song is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
After Jake Cronenworth was diagnosed with a concussion May 5 and placed on the 7-day injured list, Song had started at second base in five of the Friars' ensuing six games, but he'll cede the keystone to Fernando Tatis on Wednesday for the second day in a row. Since recording two hits in his first start, Song has gone 0-for-8 with a 2:4 BB:K, and his lack of production may have closed his window for handling an everyday role while Cronenworth is shelved.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Plates two, swipes bag in win
Song went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Giants.
Song logged his first career plate appearances in this contest, and he delivered a good performance. The 29-year-old infielder looks to be part of the mix to cover second base in the absence of Jake Cronenworth (concussion), whose placement on the 7-day injured list opened up the roster spot for Song to get promoted. Fernando Tatis is also a candidate to see time at the keystone in Cronenworth's absence, but Song could make a strong case for himself if he strings together a few good games at the plate.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Rejoins big club
The Padres called up Song from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Song's promotion comes as a corresponding move to the Padres placing Jake Cronenworth on the seven-day concussion injured list Tuesday. Since being optioned to Triple-A El Paso on April 27, Song has slashed .292/.346/.458 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base across 26 plate appearances in five games.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Sent back to minors
The Padres optioned Song to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.
Song was up with the big club as its 27th man during the Mexico City Series against the Diamondbacks over the weekend. He made his major-league debut as a pinch runner during Sunday's 12-7 loss but didn't receive a plate appearance. Song returns to El Paso, where he's slashed .293/.369/.320 in 20 games.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Up as 27th man
The Padres recalled Song from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.
The Padres will be allowed to carry a 27th man on their roster during the Mexico City Series against Arizona, so Song will join the big club to provide extra infield depth. The 29-year-old has slashed .293/.369/.320 with 12 RBI and nine runs scored through 20 Triple-A games and will be making his MLB debut if he gets into a game this weekend.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Activated, optioned to Triple-A
The Padres reinstated Song (oblique) from the injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A El Paso.
Song landed on the injured list at the start of the regular season due to a right oblique strain but has been playing rehab games with El Paso since March 27. He's slashed .276/.364/.310 with 10 RBI and seven runs scored across 16 games during his assignment and will officially remain in the minors now that he's fully healthy.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Rehabbing in Triple-A
Song (oblique) has gone 3-for-7 with two RBI through two rehab games with Triple-A El Paso.
Song aggravated an oblique issue in early March and opened the season on the 10-day IL. However, the South Korean utility man seems to be doing well given that he's been able to both hit and play the field with El Paso. Song appears to be on track to be activated by mid-April, though he probably won't be an everyday player while with the big-league club.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Officially placed on IL
The Padres placed Song (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
Song remains on the mend from the right oblique strain that he aggravated in March. He'll open the season on the IL and can make his MLB debut as soon as April 1, but MLB.com relays that he's trending toward a mid-April return. Song was able to play in a minor-league game on the back fields of camp this past Sunday, so he could be ready to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A El Paso when the season gets underway this weekend.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Expected to open season on IL
Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports Saturday that Song will open the 2026 regular season on the injured list due to a right oblique strain.
Song suffered an oblique injury during batting practice in January and aggravated the issue in March. He's progressed enough in his recovery to hit in a cage and could start seeing live at-bats in the coming days, but it looks like the South Korean slugger will open the season on the Padres' IL, which would free up a roster spot for Ty France to make San Diego's Opening Day roster.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Going through hitting progression
Padres manager Craig Stammen said Sunday that Song (oblique) has resumed swinging a bat, per 97.3 The Fan.
Stammen mentioned that Song "took some swings...off the tee" Friday and that he would subsequently continue a hitting progression. The manager also indicated that the team hopes to get Song into some games before the end of spring training, though even in that case it's not certain that the South Korean slugger will be ready for Opening Day. Song initially hurt his oblique in January and then aggravated the issue in early March, so San Diego is likely to be cautious in the pacing of his recovery schedule.
