Wade is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup against the Rockies.
As a lefty-hitter, Wade will hand off the start to righty-hitting Eguy Rosario at third base as southpaw Ty Blach takes the mound. Wade has seen the majority of playing time at third base with 16 starts out of 26 games this season, due to Manny Machado being limited to serving as the designated hitter as he continues to recover from an offseason elbow injury.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Heads to bench Monday
Rotowire
Wade is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.
The lefty-hitting Wade will give way to the righty-hitting Eguy Rosario at third base while southpaw Austin Gomber takes the hill for Colorado. Wade had started in three of the previous four games and continues to see the majority of the time at the hot corner while Manny Machado (paternity) remains limited to designated hitter duties following his offseason elbow surgery.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Registers third steal
Rotowire
Wade went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base Saturday in a loss to the Dodgers.
Wade knocked in a run with a seventh-inning single and proceeded to steal second base but was stranded there. The theft was his third of the campaign, second-most on the Padres behind Ha-Seong Kim. Wade has 82nd-percentile sprint speed and has swiped as many as 17 bags in an MLB season (in 2021 with the Yankees), so he could be a sneaky source of steals while he's playing regularly. However, he'll almost certainly lose playing time once Manny Machado -- who so far has been limited to DH duties while recovering from offseason elbow surgery -- returns to playing the field.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Gaining traction at hot corner
Rotowire
Wade will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Wade had been part of a messy three-man timeshare at third base during the first full week of the regular season, but he seems to have moved into a larger side of the platoon with Eguy Rosario at the position after the Padres cleared up the logjam by optioning Graham Pauley to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Wade will garner his fifth straight start Wednesday after going 1-for-9 with a walk and a stolen base over the previous four contests. Both Wade and Rosario will lose out on opportunities at the hot corner once Manny Machado -- who has been limited to designated-hitter duties thus far -- completes his throwing program as he works his way back from October surgery to repair a tendon in his right elbow.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Losing playing time
Rotowire
Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
He'll remain on the bench with southpaw Zack Thompson on the hill for St. Louis, but the lefty-hitting Wade had already been withheld from the starting nine in two of the previous three games in which the Padres faced off against right-handers. After manning third base for each of San Diego's first three contests of the regular season, Wade's perch atop the depth chart seems to be loosening, with Graham Pauley and Eguy Rosario beginning to earn more playing time at his expense. All three players are likely to see their opportunities dwindle, however, once Manny Machado is cleared to play the hot corner on an everyday basis, as he remains limited to designated-hitter duties for now following October elbow surgery.

Rotowire
Wade is not in the Padres' lineup Friday against the Giants.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Makes Opening Day roster
Rotowire
The Padres selected Wade from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
After signing a minor-league contract with the Padres in November, Wade will officially join the big-league club ahead of San Diego's opening series in South Korea against the Dodgers. Wade slashed .294/.351/.471 across 37 spring plate appearances and gives the Padres another option at third base due to Manny Machado (elbow) being limited to a DH role at the moment.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Selected from Triple-A

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Cast off 40-man
Rotowire
Wade was outrighted off Oakland's 40-man roster on Friday.
He is essentially being replaced by Zack Gelof, who is getting the call from Triple-A Las Vegas along with Tyler Soderstrom on Friday. Wade hit .255 with zero home runs and four steals in 55 plate appearances and was worth 0.2 fWAR in his part-time role that included seeing time at four different positions.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Multi-hit effort in loss
Rotowire
Wade went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.
Wade hit safely for the third time in his last four starts while producing his first multi-hit effort and RBI of the season at the big-league level. The 28-year-old has been a positive addition offensively since his June 17 call-up, hitting .333 (5-for-15) with a double, Saturday's RBI and one run. With Kevin Smith on the injured list due to a back strain that could potentially keep him out beyond 10 days, Wade, who can play second base, third base and across the outfield, is making an early case to potentially hold on to a roster spot even when he returns.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Doubles, scores in loss
Rotowire
Wade went 1-for-2 with a double and a run in a loss to the Guardians on Wednesday.
Making his second straight start at shortstop, Wade hit safely for the second consecutive game while collecting his first extra-base hit in 13 big-league appearances this season. The well-traveled veteran is slated to remain with the Athletics through Kevin Smith's (back) stint on the injured list, at minimum.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Called up to Oakland
Rotowire
The Athletics selected Wade's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.
Wade is up with the big club to replace infielder Kevin Smith, who landed on the injured list with a strained back. Wade had appeared in 10 MLB games this season, stealing four bases despite striking out in eight of his 16 plate appearances. He has a career .211/.290/.293 slash line across parts of seven seasons in the majors, so he's unlikely to carve out a regular role even on a sub-.500 team like Oakland.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Wade was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Ramon Laureano (groin) has been activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Wade, 28, was just 1-for-13 (.077) with eight strikeouts in 10 games this season with Oakland.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Steals third bag of season
Rotowire
Wade went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.
The 28-year-old drew his third start in the last five games and was able to provide some modest contributions out of the No. 9 spot in the order. Wade's speed does give him some upside, but his lack of an everyday role and the fact he's struggled offensively more often than not throughout his big-league stints over the years caps his fantasy value significantly.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Swipes two bags Saturday
Rotowire
Wade entered Saturday's loss to the Mets as a pinch runner in the bottom of the eighth inning and proceeded to record a steal of both second and third base.
Wade wasted no time wreaking havoc on the bases upon entering, immediately stealing second before also swiping third after a Ramon Laureano groundout and Aledmys Diaz foul pop. The 28-year-old journeyman was ultimately stranded when Conner Capel struck out to end the frame, but his production is an extension of a stint at Triple-A Las Vegas during which he'd already recorded seven steals across his first 10 games.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Selected to MLB roster
Rotowire
Oakland selected Wade's contract Friday from Triple-A Las Vegas.
Wade has slashed .286/.405/.286 across 43 plate appearances in Triple-A Las Vegas this season while going 7-for-7 on stolen-base attempts. The 28-year-old utility man has never been much of an offensive threat in the majors, but his defensive versatility and speed make him a valuable bench piece for the A's. In order to make room for Wade on the roster, Nick Allen was optioned to Las Vegas, and Cal Stevenson was designated for assignment Friday.
