SAN DIEGO -- The Padres are unbeatable at Petco Park this season, using the simplest of formulas: You can't lose if you don't allow runs. And good luck scoring against this pitching staff right now. The Rockies didn't do it once all weekend.

The countdown to the 2025 season is on, and there's no better place to watch all the action than on PADRES.TV.

A fun fact about baseball as we enter the second half of the season’s first month: The juice is all in the National League. Would you believe the top six teams in our Power Rankings are all from the National League? It’s true. I would not lie to you in

Mark your calendars, baseball fans -- and avid collectors. All 30 teams have extensive promotional schedules lined up for the 2025 season. The giveaways range from bat-flipping bobbleheads to basketball jersesy to, yes, even cribbage boards. In fact, there are so many must-have giveaways that it may be a little

SAN DIEGO -- One batter into the bottom of the first inning on Saturday night, the Padres had a lead. These days, that seems to be all their pitching staff needs. Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a leadoff home run in the first, then ended the game with a leaping catch

This roster moves and injury updates page will be updated throughout the season.

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres placed another key player on the injured list on Friday -- then went out and did what they’ve done all season, in spite of those injuries: They just kept winning. Nick Pivetta dazzled across seven scoreless frames, striking out 10 as the Padres cruised to

SAN DIEGO -- Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday after he was diagnosed with a fractured right rib that he sustained Sunday on a hit-by-pitch. The club did not divulge a timetable for Cronenworth’s return, with manager Mike Shildt noting it was too

The Minor Leagues are in full swing with Triple-A circuits two weeks into their seasons and Double-A, High-A and Single-A leagues a week into theirs. That means plenty of great baseball to watch, either in person or via MiLB.TV, which streams games for 117 of the 120 full-season affiliates.

A number of baseball's best prospects broke through on Wednesday after a quiet opening weekend, including a pair of Top 100 prospects at Double-A. A lightning-quick effort at High-A was one for the ages while a Triple-A slugger continues to establish himself as one of the top young power hitters

WEST SACRAMENTO -- No Jackson Merrill, no Fernando Tatis Jr., no Jake Cronenworth -- no problem for the Padres on Wednesday. They became the first team in the Majors to reach 10 wins this season with their 2-1 victory over the A’s at Sutter Health Park -- despite missing a

WEST SACRAMENTO -- The Padres have Jackson Merrill locked up for the next 10 years. As such, they’re fine taking the next 10 days to make sure he’s healthy. Ahead of its game Tuesday against the A’s, San Diego placed Merrill on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring

WEST SACRAMENTO -- Off to one of the best starts in franchise history, the 2025 Padres could be facing some serious early adversity -- three injuries worth of adversity. Jackson Merrill, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jake Cronenworth are all dealing with some measure of injury concern following the Padres' 10-4

The first full week of Minor League action spanning all four levels kicked off with plenty of fireworks on Tuesday. A pair of 2024 first-rounders and Top 100 prospects built upon their early-season power surges, Double-A Rocket City experienced a franchise first while dominating performances on the mound and at

Needless to say, MVP Awards are not won (or lost) in the first two weeks of the season. Remember 2024? Aaron Judge didn’t really get things going until May. Yes, sensational starts can fizzle out quickly. Cold April slumps are forgotten when the weather, and the bats, heat up. But

WEST SACRAMENTO -- Joe Musgrove played light catch on Monday afternoon. He threw a baseball 25 times to his new catch partner, right-hander Nick Pivetta, 60 feet away. Light work, in baseball terms. And yet, for Musgrove, it was the day he’s been waiting for for six months. The veteran

WEST SACRAMENTO -- After losing twice in Chicago over the weekend, the Padres' red-hot start to the 2025 season is no longer unprecedented. They've been 9-2 before -- twice, in fact. In 1984 and '98. Both times, they went on to win the National League pennant.

We're now about a week-and-a-half removed from Opening Day. Some teams are off to hot starts, some off to the exact opposite, and it's still a little too early to draw too many big conclusions. But that doesn't mean we can't take a snapshot of where things stand. It's time

CHICAGO -- A year ago, the Padres made a habit of wild come-from-behind victories. They regularly found ways to win games they had little business winning. That trait seems to have carried over into 2025. How else to explain a game like Sunday -- when the Padres allowed seven early

CHICAGO -- The bizarre finish to a bizarre first inning at Wrigley Field on Sunday afternoon: Two consecutive run-scoring balks. Padres right-hander Logan Gillaspie -- called up Sunday morning before San Diego’s 8-7 victory over the Cubs -- committed a pair of infractions that led to balks with catcher Carson
