Padres' Robert Suarez: Up to eight saves
Suarez earned the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Cubs, not allowing a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning while not recording a strikeout.
Suarez continued his excellent start to the season in Wednesday's win, securing his league-leading eighth save. The 34-year-old Suarez has yet to allow a run through nine innings while pitching to a stellar 0.56 WHIP with 10:2 K:BB.

Padres' Nick Pivetta: Earns third win
Pivetta (3-1) earned the win Wednesday over the Cubs, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out six.
It was another strong outing from Pivetta, with the lone blemish against him coming on a Kyle Tucker sacrifice fly in the third inning. The 32-year-old Pivetta's ERA is down to 1.57 on the year with a 0.83 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB through 23 innings after joining the Padres on a four-year, $55 million contract in February. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently lined up for next week in Detroit.

Padres' Bryce Johnson: Returns to San Diego
The Padres acquired Johnson and cash considerations from the Pirates on Wednesday in exchange for Brett Sullivan, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Johnson got into 47 games as a reserve outfielder for the Padres last season before signing with the Pirates over the winter on a minor-league deal. He'll presumably report to Triple-A El Paso, where he'll provide outfield depth.

Padres' Jason Heyward: Getting afternoon off
Heyward is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
As usual, the left-handed-hitting Heyward will hit the bench while the opposition sends a lefty (Matthew Boyd) to the hill. Oscar Gonzalez will draw the start in left field Wednesday and could continue to occupy the short side of a platoon with Heyward.

Padres' Martin Maldonado: Heading to bench Wednesday
Maldonado is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
After submitting a lowly .404 OPS in 48 games with the White Sox before being released last July, Maldonado has enjoyed a relative resurgence in San Diego so far this season. The 38-year-old backstop continues to provide most of his value behind the plate, but he's held his own with the bat so far, slashing .250/.276/.357 over 29 plate appearances. As a result, Maldonado has moved into a timeshare at catcher with Elias Diaz, who will be back in the lineup Wednesday after hitting the bench in five of the past seven games. The playing time will likely tilt back in Diaz's favor eventually, but the distribution of starts could be relatively even while he and Maldonado are performing at a similar level offensively.

Padres' Gavin Sheets: Getting day off against lefty
Sheets is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
With the Cubs sending southpaw Matthew Boyd to the bump, the left-handed-hitting Sheets will retreat to the bench. Luis Arraez will replace Sheets in the lineup as San Diego's designated hitter.

Padres' Manny Machado: Belts second homer
Machado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Cubs.
The blast shouldn't have happened, as Machado popped up two balls in foul territory during the same at-bat, but he got reprieves each time when they were dropped by Kyle Tucker and Gage Workman. Machado took full advantage of the extra chance, driving the ninth pitch he saw from Shota Imanaga over the fence in left-center field. It was Machado's second long ball of the season in 18 games, and the 32-year-old has had an overall strong start to the campaign, slashing .313/.387/.507 with six steals, seven RBI and 16 runs.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Sharp in no-decision Tuesday
Vasquez didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on seven hits and two walks over five-plus innings. He struck out two.
The right-hander blanked the Cubbies for five frames before running out of gas in the sixth, as he gave up back-to-back singles to Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner before getting the hook, with Adrian Morejon then letting one of the inherited runners cross the plate. Vasquez left the mound after 80 pitches (51 strikes), and while his 8:14 K:BB through 20.2 innings is worrisome, he'll carry a 1.74 ERA and 1.35 WHIP into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Detroit.

Padres' Elias Diaz: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Diaz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.
It's the second straight game on the bench for Diaz, who has a .233/.361/.267 slash line through 11 games this year. Martin Maldonado will receive another start behind the plate Tuesday, as each catcher has received nine starts through San Diego's first 18 contests of the season.

Padres' Luis Arraez: Goes deep in victory
Arraez went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs against the Cubs in a 10-4 win Monday.
Arraez hit the second of back-to-back homers with Fernando Tatis in the eighth inning as the Padres pulled away for their 11th straight home victory. The veteran infielder has all but wiped out memories of his slow start to the season -- after going 0-for-13 over his first four games, Arraez has since boosted his average up to .282. That mark is likely to come up even further given that Arraez has never batted less than .294 over a full season, and with two homers so far, he's already halfway to the four long balls he hit across 150 regular-season games last year.

Padres' Fernando Tatis: Belts two more homers
Tatis went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, a walk, three total runs and three total RBI in Monday's 10-4 victory versus the Cubs.
Tatis put the Padres on the board with a solo shot in the third inning and later contributed a two-run blast in the eighth. The star outfielder went deep just once over his first 10 games, but he's since been on a power surge, clubbing five homers across his past six contests. Tatis is now tied for the major-league lead with six home runs on the season, and he's tied for fifth with 16 runs scored while adding 12 RBI, six stolen bases and a .361/.429/.672 slash line.

Padres' Dylan Cease: Ends up with no-decision Monday
Cease allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out six batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Monday.
Cease tossed three scoreless frames before serving up three runs -- including two on a homer by Michael Busch -- in the fourth. The right-handed hurler departed with two outs in the sixth facing a two-run deficit, but the Padres rallied to pull out the win. Though San Diego is off to a blazing hot 14-3 beginning of the campaign, Cease has yet to fully find his groove, as he's recorded a 6.64 ERA and 1.52 WHIP through 20.1 innings. On a more positive note, he's given up three or fewer runs in three of his four starts, and his overall poor numbers so far are mostly the result of a nine-run, four-inning start against the Athletics on April 8.
