Padres coach detained by ICE at El Paso airport while returning home

Padres roving catching coordinator Oswaldo Pirela was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at El Paso International Airport while traveling for work. DHS says Pirela entered the U.S. from Venezuela in 2014 and overstayed his permission in 2018; he does not have valid work authorization, though his brother provided a permit showing it runs 2024–2029. The Padres said they are gathering information and have no further comment. Pirela, based in Peoria, Ariz., has worked in the organization since 2024 (bench coach in Lake Elsinore, then catching coordinator in 2025) and travels to its minor league affiliates. He remains in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.

Tatis Jr. Turns Mets Night Into a Show as Padres Win 5-2

Fernando Tatis Jr. starred in a 5-2 Padres win over the Mets, belting a 452-foot first-pitch homer, then leaping over the right-field wall to rob Francisco Lindor of a grand slam, followed by a two-run homer that gave San Diego a 3-0 lead; the bullpen held on for the win, with Mason Miller earning the save, and the Padres moved two games up on Arizona for the final NL playoff spot.

Mize's Padres debut stalls as Cameron shines and Braves extend streak

Casey Mize's San Diego debut was a disaster, allowing eight earned runs over 3 1/3 innings after being traded from Detroit; Noah Cameron continued his run of dominance for Kansas City, tossing eight innings with nine strikeouts and just two hits allowed; Bryce Elder gave Atlanta seven solid innings as the Braves extended their win streak to seven and edged the Dodgers in the NL standings, positioning themselves for a potential first-round playoff bye as the season heads toward October.

Casey Mize's Padres debut derailed by career-worst start in Arizona

Casey Mize's San Diego Padres debut at Chase Field ended in a career-worst 3.1 innings, allowing 8 earned runs on 9 hits with 3 walks and 1 strikeout in a 10-4 loss to the Diamondbacks after being traded from Detroit. He owned the miscue, saying he couldn’t execute, while Padres manager Craig Stammen attributed some rust and travel disruption but expressed confidence he’ll rebound once back in a routine. Mize and fellow trade acquisition Robbie Ray are projected to make at least 16 starts as San Diego remains in the wild-card hunt with 47 games left.

Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta walked off his Lake Elsinore rehab outing after two outs in the fourth due to elbow tightness, prompting evaluation and a continued, cautious rehab plan. Teammate Joe Musgrove offered optimism about both rehabbing pitchers, while San Diego added rotation depth at the trade deadline, keeping the path back to a healthy rotation fluid but uncertain.

Padres surge to the top with Casey Mize, while Tigers press reset

San Diego bolsters a win-now rotation by acquiring Casey Mize and infield prospect Gage Workman from Detroit, adding Mize to a rotation that already includes Robbie Ray. Detroit departs with Mize and other pieces for Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf as part of a broader rebuild. Mize, healthy and posting strong 2026 numbers, is expected to anchor SD’s rotation alongside King and Ray, signaling a major shift for both teams.

Phillies face tough trade puzzle as pitching and outfield needs clash with thin system

Steve Adams’ MLB Mailbag argues the Phillies must upgrade pitching (back-end starter and long reliever) and add a right-handed outfielder, despite a thin farm system and heavy contracts; a big-ticket upgrade like Matt Chapman isn’t prudent, and concerns remain about Aaron Nola and Painter while the bullpen needs stability. The Padres are in retooling mode rather than rebuilding, weighing which rentals to move to shore up rotation and bullpen. The Mariners could target Emerson Hancock in talks, and post-deadline prospects and sellers’ targets will shape decisions as teams balance short-term aims with long-term control.

Padres move on from Castellanos, pivot to youth and versatility

After 59 games with the Padres, Nick Castellanos was designated for assignment as San Diego shifts toward a younger, more versatile roster and a role he didn’t embrace as a part-time contributor; he batted .191 with four homers during his time in San Diego, and the club says the move aligns with its playing-time plan and roster fit.
