Contradictions

  • To make room on the active roster, catcher Brett Sullivan was optioned to Triple-A El Paso.

Deceptions

Examples:

  • Enter Bogaerts. He struggled early in the season, but in the week before his injury, he’d begun to heat up. On Friday, he appeared to pick up where he left off, lacing a pair of singles up the middle.
  • The Padres are still missing Tatis and Joe Musgrove on the injured list.
  • We’ve got to play better. We still have two more games, and we have to finish strong.
