Padres Notes: Pitcher Has Season-Ending Surgery, All-Star Named Trade Candidate, Fernando Tatis Walk-Off

In this story:
The San Diego Padres beat the Los Angeles Angels, 6-4, thanks to a walk-off two-run home run by Fernando Tatis Jr. in the ninth. The Friars are now 26-15 thanks to Tatis' first career walk-off bomb.
Unfortunately, the Padres recently lost a pitcher for the rest of the season. The UCL surgery sidelines the man who San Diego received as part of the Juan Soto deal once upon a time.
Additionally, an All-Star trade candidate is named in what would be a surprise move. The right-hander has been dominant all year for the Padres and even leads the league in a few key categories on the mound.
