News
	David Peterson allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits without issuing a walk while striking out eight over 6.1 innings in Saturday's 5-2 win over the New York Yankees. Nicholas Rodriguez Sun, Aug 2nd	Triston McKenzie has been reassigned to minor league camp by the San Diego Padres. David Leisering Sat, Mar 21st
	David Peterson allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three across 5.2 innings in Monday's 7-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Nicholas Rodriguez Tue, Jul 28th	McKenzie carries a 5.46 ERA across 24 big-league appearances (20 starts) since 2023 into Padres camp as a non-roster invitee, but his arm has shown something new this spring. He gained weight over the offseason and pitched in winter ball for the first time, and his four-seamer is averaging 95.7 mph — up two full mph from last season. McKenzie has never touched 97 mph in a major-league game, but he topped that mark 10 times in his most recent Cactus League outing and peaked at 98.8 mph. He admitted having "no idea" where the extra velocity is coming from. Bruno Mulé Fri, Mar 13th
	David Peterson allowed three hits and one walk with four strikeouts across 6.2 scoreless innings in Tuesday's 11-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Nicholas Rodriguez Wed, Jul 22nd
