News
	Michael Lorenzen allowed three earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out two over four innings in Tuesday’s loss to the Padres. Chris Schommer Wed, Jul 29th	Triston McKenzie has been reassigned to minor league camp by the San Diego Padres. David Leisering Sat, Mar 21st
	Michael Lorenzen allowed six earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over 3 2/3 innings in Tuesday’s win over the Nationals. Chris Schommer Wed, Jul 22nd	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
	Michael Lorenzen allowed one earned run on five hits and three walks while striking out one over five innings in a 3-1 loss to the Giants. Chris Schommer Sun, Jul 12th
