This roster moves and injury updates page will be updated throughout the season.

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

SAN FRANCISCO -- Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts exited Wednesday night’s game in San Francisco with soreness in his left shoulder, manager Mike Shildt confirmed after the game -- a 6-5 loss to the Giants at Oracle Park. In the sixth inning, Bogaerts was replaced on defense by Jose Iglesias --

SAN FRANCISCO -- A day after his hard collision with the left-field wall at Petco Park, Padres slugger Gavin Sheets was with the team in San Francisco and said he expects to avoid a stint on the IL. He later pinch-hit in the eighth inning of Monday night’s 1-0 series-opening

SAN DIEGO -- Yu Darvish’s return to the Padres’ rotation has taken longer than all parties would’ve hoped for -- but it hasn’t stalled.

SAN DIEGO -- The timeline for Michael King’s return to the mound remains somewhat murky, but the Padres at least have a prognosis for his shoulder injury, and they say it’s positive.

ATLANTA -- Padres ace right-hander Michael King was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation prior to Sunday's series finale against the Braves. King had been scheduled to start on Saturday in Atlanta but was scratched less than an hour before first pitch.

ATLANTA -- Ahead of the Padres’ game against the Braves on Saturday afternoon, San Diego thought it would have ace right-handed pitcher Michael King starting on the mound. It was not to be.

SAN DIEGO -- Yu Darvish is on his way back -- sooner rather than later, it seems. Darvish began a rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday night, pitching four innings at Las Vegas, while allowing two runs on two hits and striking out four. He threw 51 pitches

SAN DIEGO -- Padres right-hander Jhony Brito underwent surgery on the UCL in his right elbow last month and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season, general manager A.J. Preller announced on Monday. Brito, who hasn’t pitched since early in Spring Training, underwent UCL internal brace surgery, as well

SAN DIEGO -- Padres catching prospect Ethan Salas has a stress reaction in his lower back, general manager A.J. Preller announced Monday. Salas will miss around two months, Preller said, putting his expected return at some point in July.

DENVER -- Jake Cronenworth is back, and the Padres’ offense is whole again. On Friday night at Coors Field, the Rockies felt it in full force.

DENVER -- The Padres could be getting one of their most important arms back just in time for one of the toughest stretches on their schedule. Yu Darvish hasn’t pitched this season as he works his way back from right elbow inflammation that sidelined him during Spring Training. But he

NEW YORK -- We’ll start with the good news for the Padres. It’s more important, anyway. Both Dylan Cease and Jackson Merrill were dealt injury scares on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. Cease exited alongside a team trainer, flexing his right forearm in the top of the seventh inning. Merrill

PITTSBURGH -- Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. exited Friday night’s 9-4 victory against Pittsburgh after getting hit on the forearm during his third-inning at-bat. He was diagnosed with a left arm contusion and X-rays were negative. Manager Mike Shildt and team trainers quickly went out to check on the

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres have spent so much of the first month of their season placing players on the injured list that Tuesday brought a welcome sight: For the first time all year, they brought a player back from that injured list. Two, in fact. Luis Arraez and Jason

DETROIT -- A day after his scary collision at first base, Luis Arraez entered concussion protocol on Monday and was placed on the 7-day concussion IL. But according to Padres manager Mike Shildt, Arraez’s prognosis is “as good as we could possibly expect” considering the nature of his injury. Arraez

HOUSTON -- Time will tell, manager Mike Shildt said, but early postgame indications about Luis Arraez’s condition were good after the Padres first baseman was carted off the field early in Sunday’s night’s 3-2 victory over the Astros at Daikin Field. Arraez was taken to Houston Methodist Hospital after colliding

SAN DIEGO -- For the second time in less than a week, the Padres placed their starting center fielder on the injured list with a hamstring strain. Last Tuesday, it was Jackson Merrill. On Monday, it was Brandon Lockridge -- who had since taken over for Merrill in center. In

SAN DIEGO -- Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday after he was diagnosed with a fractured right rib that he sustained Sunday on a hit-by-pitch. The club did not divulge a timetable for Cronenworth’s return, with manager Mike Shildt noting it was too

WEST SACRAMENTO -- Off to one of the best starts in franchise history, the 2025 Padres could be facing some serious early adversity -- three injuries worth of adversity. Jackson Merrill, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jake Cronenworth are all dealing with some measure of injury concern following the Padres' 10-4

WEST SACRAMENTO -- The Padres have Jackson Merrill locked up for the next 10 years. As such, they’re fine taking the next 10 days to make sure he’s healthy. Ahead of its game Tuesday against the A’s, San Diego placed Merrill on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring

WEST SACRAMENTO -- Joe Musgrove played light catch on Monday afternoon. He threw a baseball 25 times to his new catch partner, right-hander Nick Pivetta, 60 feet away. Light work, in baseball terms. And yet, for Musgrove, it was the day he’s been waiting for for six months. The veteran

SAN DIEGO -- Padres star third baseman Manny Machado exited Saturday’s 1-0 victory over the Braves with right calf tightness, but he seems to have avoided any sort of prolonged absence and could return to action for Sunday’s series finale at Petco Park. After he swung and missed at a
