News
	Sam Aldegheri has been optioned to the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees. Diego Sandoval Mon, Jul 6th	Triston McKenzie has been reassigned to minor league camp by the San Diego Padres. David Leisering Sat, Mar 21st
	Sam Aldegheri allowed three earned runs on one hit and four walks while striking out two over four innings in Saturday's loss to the Red Sox. Chris Schommer Sun, Jul 5th	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
	Sam Aldegheri allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Athletics. Chris Schommer Sun, Jun 28th
	Sam Aldegheri lasted just 4.2 innings on Monday and was charged with five runs on five hits - including two home runs - in a 6-1 loss to Baltimore. David Leisering Tue, Jun 23rd
	Sam Aldegheri allowed six runs on six hits, walked three, and struck out in just three innings as the Angels dropped an 8-1 decision to the Diamondbacks. David Leisering Wed, Jun 17th
