Episode Details

Samad Taylor is back in the two-hole for the Padres, batting second for the third straight game and bringing his energy and power to the lineup — manager calls him an “Energizer Bunny” for his hustle and basepath havoc. The lineup features Tatis Jr. at the top, with Merrill in center, Machado, Sheets, Bogaerts, France, Wagner, and Durán rounding out the order as they aim to make noise against the Dodgers. The Padres also added depth by signing Luis Rengifo on a minor league deal, a former MLB player with power potential. Jake Cronenworth, sidelined since May with a concussion, is cleared for a rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso. Both teams will wear “VZ” on their hats to support Venezuela earthquake victims. Friday’s pitching matchup pits Dodgers’ Roki Sasaki against Padres’ Walker Buehler — a former Dodger looking to keep his hot streak alive in a loaded, story-filled game.
