PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Padres' roster picture is coming into focus. Ty France and Walker Buehler have been informed they've made the team, ahead of potential opt-outs in their Minor League contracts. They will be added to the big league roster ahead of Thursday’s opener against the Tigers at Petco

PEORIA, Ariz. -- The temperature at the Peoria Sports Complex rose above 100 degrees on Thursday afternoon. So the Padres beat the heat the old-fashioned way: ice cream. More specifically, an “Old School Ice Cream Bus” parked just outside the team’s Spring Training clubhouse and dining area. Before players retreated

PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Padres welcomed back two Gold Glovers on Thursday, with Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado returning to the lineup after their trip to the World Baseball Classic. But the best play made by a Padre on Thursday night? That came in section 110 at the Peoria

PEORIA, Ariz. -- Fernando Tatis Jr. and Mason Miller reunited in the Padres’ Spring Training clubhouse at the Peoria Sports Complex on Thursday. Surely, they could’ve spent hours swapping stories from their travels at the World Baseball Classic.

Padres right-hander Bryan Hoeing will undergo surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his right arm, ruling him out for the 2026 season, Padres manager Craig Stammen announced on Thursday.

PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Padres are convinced their Opening Day roster will be as deep as any they've had under general manager A.J. Preller. That should leave some tricky decisions on the edges. With less than two weeks remaining until the Padres break camp in Peoria, there are close calls

PEORIA, Ariz. -- For all intents and purposes, the Padres know four starters in their Opening Day rotation. They need to find a fifth. The question, at this stage of Spring Training, is whether that fifth starter is already in camp.

PEORIA, Ariz. -- The temperature was up. The wind was blowing out. The run-scoring environment was as good as you’ll ever see it. Still, Jake Cronenworth hit an opposite-field home run on Thursday afternoon, and that’s not something you see very often.

Welcome to Petco Park, where the left-field foul pole is a historic landmark that isn’t a pole at all -- but rather the corner of a 115-year-old industrial building. The center-field batters’ eye doubles as a concert stage on its opposite side. The Tony Gwynn statue watches over the ballpark

PEORIA, Ariz. -- Joe Musgrove returned to the mound for the Padres’ exhibition against Team Great Britain on Wednesday -- the first time he’d pitched in a game setting since his October 2024 Tommy John surgery.

PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Padres are searching for a leadoff man. New manager Craig Stammen clearly feels good about the 2-3-4 spots in his lineup -- Jackson Merrill hitting second, followed by Manny Machado in his usual third spot, with Fernando Tatis Jr. cleaning up. But…
