The San Diego Padres were blanked by the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-0, on Monday evening and fell to 45-39 on the year.

Ahead of the eventual defeat, San Diego finally called up a starting pitcher who made his 2025 debut after suffering an oblique injury in spring training. The right-hander threw 77 of his unique knuckle balls across 104 total pitches on the day.

Additionally, the Friars parted ways with a reliever who had just a 2.57 ERA. The right-hander, also having suffered an oblique injury, made just three appearances in the big leagues this season.

Finally, San Diego is linked to an All-Star and Silver Slugger winner who would surely bolster their high-flying offense.
