SAN DIEGO -- The Padres’ rotation is going to look different in August. How different? That’s TBD -- check back after the Trade Deadline on Thursday. But there’s at least one major addition on the way: Michael King.

SAN DIEGO -- Throughout Michael King’s rehab from a right shoulder and nerve injury, the Padres and King have been extremely hesitant to put any sort of timeline on his potential return. It’s a unique injury, and King’s health is paramount. They won’t rush him back. But on Thursday --

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres missed Yu. Sure, they’ve managed to persevere this season, even as their rotation has been hit hard by injuries. But were they ever thrilled to welcome Yu Darvish back into the fold Monday night, after he missed the first three-plus months of the season with

PHOENIX -- For a Padres team that has lost its share of close games in recent weeks, Saturday night might have been the most crushing of them all.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Nothing separated the Padres and Giants at Oracle Park this week. The two National League West rivals split four games, all of which were decided by precisely one run. And at the end of a tight, tense, at times feisty series, San Diego emerged with its share
