Samad Taylor’s Rehab Surge | San Diego Padres News

Samad Taylor’s rehab surge is sparking big league buzz—after a solid two-for-two, two-RBI game in Triple-A, the Padres’ outfielder’s batting average now sits at .304 with homers and RBIs. Out since July 8 with an oblique strain, Taylor was hitting over .300 before his injury and could be a roster move candidate as rosters expand. As a veteran without minor league options, his return looms large. Meanwhile, other Padres prospects delivered: catcher Ethan Salas added an RBI and steal, while pitcher Jhony Brito held steady through five innings. Across the system, home runs from Tirso Ornelas and Augie Lopez, plus mixed results from pitchers like Fitterer and Gutierrez, highlight the grind of climbing the ladder. Taylor’s comeback could be the story of the season’s final stretch. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
