Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Bogaerts made an early impact by taking Shane Bieber deep in the first inning. This was Bogaerts' first long ball since May 30 versus the Nationals, and he hit just .196 during the 33-game power drought. On the season, the veteran shortstop is batting .225 with a .648 OPS, nine homers, 37 RBI, 37 runs scored, 11 stolen bases and seven doubles across 89 games.

Padres' JP Sears: Takes loss versus Blue Jays
Rotowire
Sears (2-2) allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over 4.1 innings to take the loss versus the Blue Jays on Friday.
Sears gave up one run in the fourth inning and left a mess on the bases in the fifth. Jhony Brito wasn't able to prevent additional damage, giving up a three-run home run to Kazuma Okamoto to tack on two extra runs on Sears' line. Over four starts, Sears has a 5.03 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB through 19.2 innings. It's not yet clear if Sears will maintain a spot in the rotation after the All-Star break.

Padres' David Morgan: Resumes throwing
Rotowire
Morgan (knee) began a throwing progression this week, per MLB.com.
Morgan has been on the IL since late June due to soreness in his left knee. The righty reliever had been pitching pretty well prior to getting hurt, posting a 2.08 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with an 11:2 K:BB over 8.2 innings spanning seven appearances since the calendar flipped to June. Morgan isn't expected to return to San Diego by the All-Star break, but he could be activated before the end of July.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Resting up Friday
Rotowire
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' Luis Campusano: Sitting Friday
Rotowire
Campusano isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.
Campusano will retreat to the bench Friday after going 4-for-8 with a homer and two runs scored during San Diego's last series against Arizona. Rodolfo Duran will fill in behind the plate and bat ninth.
Machado went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Machado missed Wednesday's game after fouling a ball off his foot a day prior, but he looks no worse for wear now. The third baseman accounted for the Padres' lone run and two of their three hits in Thursday's loss. For the season, he's batting .193 with a .701 OPS, 19 homers, 52 RBI, 45 runs scored, 16 doubles and two stolen bases over 90 contests. Machado has trended up slightly of late, hitting .257 (18-for-70) with seven homers, 17 RBI and a 15:20 BB:K over his last 20 games.

Padres' Griffin Canning: Decent again in start
Rotowire
Canning (1-7) allowed two runs on seven hits and struck out five without walking a batter over 4.2 innings to take the loss Thursday versus the Diamondbacks.
Canning's performance wasn't bad, but it wasn't good enough compared to Merrill Kelly's seven innings of one-run ball. Canning threw 48 of 74 pitches for strikes in the contest. He has bounced between starts and bulk-relief appearances lately, allowing 10 runs over 18 innings across his last five games (two starts). For the season, the right-hander has a 6.47 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 55:30 K:BB across 55.2 innings through 13 appearances (10 starts).

Padres' Manny Machado: Back in starting nine
Rotowire
Machado (foot) will start at third base and bat fourth Thursday against the Diamondbacks.
Machado received a day off Wednesday after fouling a ball off his foot in Tuesday's game, but he now seems to be feeling better ahead of Thursday's series finale. The 34-year-old slugger has struggled at the plate for most of the season but has begun to heat up recently, slashing .234/.372/.594 with six homers, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored over the past three weeks.

Padres' German Marquez: Making another start Sunday
Rotowire
Marquez is slated to start Sunday's game against the Blue Jays at Petco Park.
Though he had been expected to be deployed as more of an opener during his previous start Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Marquez ended up working five innings and tossing 82 pitches in the Padres' 4-1 win. The veteran right-hander yielded just one unearned run in the victory, striking out four while scattering three hits and three walks. His overall numbers on the season (5.02 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 24:18 K:BB in 37.2 innings) still leave much to be desired, so despite coming off of a strong performance, Marquez won't make for the most dependable streaming option Sunday.
Fermin (head) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday, going 1-for-4 with an RBI.
Fermin served as the Chihuahuas' designated hitter, contributing an RBI single in one of his four trips to the dish. The 31-year-old is working his way back from a head bruise and is tracking toward being activated at the start of the second half.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Notches 10th steal
Rotowire
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' Miguel Andujar: Three doubles in win
Rotowire
Andujar went 3-for-4 with three doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
Andujar has struggled for playing time lately, though he was able to get into the lineup as the designated hitter Wednesday while Manny Machado (foot) and Ty France sat out. Over his last 10 games, Andujar has gone 11-for-27 (.407) with four RBI and five doubles. He's batting .266 with a .731 OPS on the season while adding five home runs, 21 RBI, 21 runs scored, 17 doubles, two triples and two stolen bases over 234 plate appearances. Andujar has previous experience in the outfield, but it doesn't look like he's in consideration yet to absorb at-bats in left field while Samad Taylor (oblique) is out -- Jase Bowen got the start there in this contest and could occupy a platoon role alongside Gavin Sheets at the position.

Padres' Fernando Tatis: Two steals in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Tatis went 2-for-4 with a hit-by-pitch, one RBI, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
Tatis has gone 9-for-32 (.281) with four steals and four doubles over eight games in July. He looks to be back to playing a full-time role in the outfield after seeing significant time at second base during Jake Cronenworth's absence. Tatis is now 23-for-32 on the basepaths this season, and he's added a .284 average, .730 OPS, five home runs, 35 RBI, 44 runs scored, 19 doubles and one triple over 91 contests.

Padres' Luis Campusano: Sparks rally with homer
Rotowire
Campusano went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
Campusano has gone 5-for-11 over five games since he returned from a fractured toe, but his homer Wednesday was his first extra-base hit in that span. The catcher is now batting .317 with a 1.022 OPS, four homers, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored and seven doubles across 23 contests. He looks to be the Padres' primary backstop at this time, serving in the starting role over Rodolfo Duran while Freddy Fermin (head) is out.

Padres' Michael King: Steady in sixth win
Rotowire
King (6-7) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
King picked up his third quality start and second win in his last four outings. This was the eighth time in 19 starts that he's been able to limit an opponent to one run or fewer, and those performances account for five of his six wins on the year. He has a 3.41 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 92:43 K:BB through 108.1 innings.
