	Griffin Jax allowed seven runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox, taking the loss in a 10-0 defeat. Nicholas Rodriguez Fri, Jul 17th	Triston McKenzie has been reassigned to minor league camp by the San Diego Padres. David Leisering Sat, Mar 21st
	Griffin Jax will start Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Red Sox. Ari Koslow Thu, Jul 16th	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
	Griffin Jax allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out three across five innings in Saturday's 6-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Nicholas Rodriguez Sat, Jul 11th
