Padres Struggle Amid Injuries and Poor Offense | San Diego Padres News

The Padres are at .500 but look like a sinking ship — offense is the worst in baseball, pitching is barely holding together, and injuries are compounding the chaos. Tatis Jr. and Campusano are out, Ty France is the lone bright spot, and Machado’s slowly climbing back. The bullpen still holds up (5th in ERA), but the starters — mostly offseason signings — are cratering with a 4.78 ERA. Only Michael King is pitching like an ace. With 66 games left and 83 wins needed to even sniff the playoffs, the trade deadline looms as their last, desperate chance to turn things around.
