Padres' Jose Iglesias: Out of lineup again Thursday
Rotowire
Iglesias is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt in St. Louis.
After starting four consecutive games (two against lefties, two against righties), Iglesias has now been absent from the lineup for two straight contests. The Padres will roll out Jake Cronenworth at second base in Thursday's series opener.
Cease (3-10) took the loss against the Marlins on Wednesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.
Cease allowed a run in the first inning and a two-run homer in the fifth that ultimately saddled him with the loss. The 29-year-old threw just 56 of 95 pitches for strikes but has now turned in back-to-back solid starts after giving up 10 earned runs across his first two July outings. He'll carry a 4.59 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 144:42 K:BB over 113.2 innings into a home matchup with the Mets next week.
Brooks is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
The left-handed-hitting Brooks is on the bench for the fifth straight game and the third straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher. At this point, the Padres appear content to use the designated-hitter spot to rotate multiple everyday players rather than leaning on Brooks in the strong side of a platoon. Brooks has posted a weak .154/.195/.282 slash line in 41 plate appearances since getting called up from Triple-A El Paso on June 15.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Making rare start Wednesday
Rotowire
Wade will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Wade will crack the starting nine for the first time since June 25 while Jose Iglesias takes a seat after occupying the keystone in the Padres' previous two contests. For the season, Wade has mustered a .210/.314/.257 line over 125 plate appearances, and he'll likely continue to see limited use in a utility role unless the San Diego infield or outfield gets decimated by injuries.

Padres' Jose Iglesias: Sitting after four straight starts
Rotowire
Iglesias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Iglesias had picked up starts in each of the last four games -- two against right-handed pitchers and two against lefties -- but he'll hit the bench Wednesday as the Padres open up the keystone for Tyler Wade. Though he seems to have temporarily secured a near-everyday role in the San Diego infield, Iglesias will likely be the odd man out of the regular lineup if the Padres acquire Atlanta designated hitter Marcell Ozuna -- or another position player, for that matter -- prior to the July 31 deadline. Talks between San Diego and Atlanta are reportedly intensifying, according to Hector Gomez of Z101Digital.com.

Padres' Martin Maldonado: Getting breather Wednesday
Rotowire
Maldonado is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Maldonado will get some rest for Wednesday's day game after he started behind the plate in the first two games of the series while going 2-for-6 with a pair of doubles, an RBI and a run. Elias Diaz will handle catching duties in the series finale.
Kolek (3-5) took the loss Tuesday against Miami, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk with five strikeouts across 5.2 innings.
Kolek returned after over two weeks at Triple-A El Paso to make Tuesday's start, and he fell one out short of his third quality start of the campaign. He's now allowed at least three runs in five of his last six starts, and he hasn't exceeded five strikeouts in nine outings. The 28-year-old has a 4.28 ERA across 73.2 big-league innings in 2025. If Kolek sticks in the rotation, his next start would likely come Sunday at St. Louis.
The Padres optioned Hoeing to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Hoeing has yielded three runs with a 5:3 K:BB over eight frames since returning from a shoulder injury. He was a key reliever for the Padres last season and should be back up with the big club before long.

Padres' Alek Jacob: Returns to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
The right-hander was called up by San Diego on July 12 and appeared in just one game during his time with the big club, as he covered two scoreless frames Sunday in Washington. It's otherwise been a struggle for Jacob in the majors this season with a 6.39 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB over 25.1 innings.

Padres' Kyle Hart: Rejoins big club
Rotowire
The Padres recalled Hart from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Hart will provide reinforcement behind Tuesday's starter Stephen Kolek and could potentially follow the latter out of the bullpen. Hart has posted a 5.83 ERA and 19:6 K:BB over 29.1 innings at the big-league level this season.

Padres' Stephen Kolek: Recalled ahead of start
Rotowire
The Padres recalled Kolek from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Kolek -- who holds a 4.24 ERA and 49:22 K:BB across 68 major-league innings -- will draw the start Tuesday in Miami. Kyle Hart was also recalled and could form a piggyback situation with Kolek on Tuesday.
