The San Diego Padres lost, 5-1, to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. The Friars dropped the first of a three-game set in the desert and fell to 38-30 on the year.

In other Padres news, the Friars are linked to an All-Star and Gold Glove replacement to provide depth to the outfield. The Padres have reportedly been looking for a major needle-mover to strengthen their lineup ahead of the trade deadline.

One way to provide said needle-mover would be through Boston Red Sox right fielder Jarren Duran. A Padres insider provided an update on the chances that San Diego pulls off what would be a blockbuster deal.

Finally, an unfortunate update on Michael King's return timeline has been given by a key insider. The right-hander has been on the injured list since the end of May.
