The San Diego Padres are already dealing with a fair share of injuries before the start of the 2025 season, but this latest ailment to the Friars' ace stings just a little more than the others. The once-presumed Opening Day starter is not going to be fully healthy at the season's start.

In a happier update to the squad, a non-roster invite has been added to the 40-man roster. Fans have been hearing this player's name all throughout spring training thanks to his enormous offensive contributions.

Finally, another roster move is urged by a baseball insider that would get the Padres a piece that they are currently lacking in the form of a former All-Star for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite the recent history with his former team, this veteran can have a productive year in the right situation.
