The 2026 season is underway, and there's no better place to watch all the action than on PADRES.TV presented by UC San Diego Health.

ST. LOUIS -- After Monday night’s series-opening loss to the Cardinals, Padres left fielder Gavin Sheets noted the disappointment in not forcing the offensive issue with a few more at-bats that might’ve forced some of the St. Louis relievers into the game. “Maybe get in the bullpen, at least make

Selected in the third round of the 2025 Draft, Ryan Wideman was a strong and fast defender with questions about how his swing would play in professional baseball. After hitting just .229 in 26 games during his debut last year and making some adjustments, Wideman is opening eyes in 2026.

BALTIMORE -- Backup catcher Rodolfo Durán blasted a Statcast-projected 432-foot homer to left-center field and Walker Buehler and four relievers dodged several threats to lead the Padres to a 5-2 win over the Orioles on Sunday.

The 2026 season is in full swing. As is the case with baseball -- "you can't predict baseball" is a common phrase for a reason -- there have been plenty of surprising developments. We asked each of the 30 team beat reporters about the biggest surprises so far this season.

BALTIMORE -- Padres catcher Freddy Fermin was placed on the 7-day injured list (concussion) Sunday and catcher Blake Hunt had his contract selected from Triple-A El Paso. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Padres have designated for assignment right-hander Ty Adcock.

SAN DIEGO -- You may have heard: Fernando Tatis Jr. hasn’t been homering all that much this season. Lately, however, he’s done just about everything else. He’s been hitting. He’s been running. He’s been playing excellent defense, whether at second base or in right field. The only thing missing has
