Padres Add Robbie Ray for Playoff Push | MLB News

The Padres just pulled off a blockbuster move, acquiring Cy Young winner Robbie Ray from the Giants for two prospects — and he’s already heating up, posting a 1.09 ERA since mid-June with zero losses. With the team one game behind the final wild-card spot, this is a massive boost to their rotation. To make room, they DFA’d Germán Márquez, who struggled early and dealt with injuries despite flashes of brilliance. They also brought in Casey Mize for his debut tonight. Manager acknowledges the tough calls but praises every player’s commitment. Ray takes the mound Friday against the Astros — a pivotal moment as the Padres aim for a deep playoff run.
