    While the Padres’ top signee from their 2022 international signing period (Jarlin Susana) wound up being part of the haul needed to pry Juan Soto from the Nationals later that summer, the organization still has talent rising from that class. Like Rosman Verdugo. The 20-year-old infielder is already one shy of his career high with nine home runs after powering high Single-A Fort Wayne to a 4-2 win in a rain-shortened game on Tuesday at Beloit.

    A day after exiting after running into a walk in left field, Gavin Sheets is out of the lineup to start a four-game series in San Francisco. Monday’s first pitch is at 6:45 p.m. on Padres.TV.

    The Padres came from behind twice to beat the Marlins to start the week. Sunday’s come-from-behind win over the Pirates secured a third straight series win. Good thing, too. Because it’ll be quite some time before the Padres can pad their record against a last-place team again. The Padres are three games into a stretch of 26 games in 27 days and they play their next 17 games against the Giants, Dodgers and Diamondbacks, not to mention a Brewers team that has won seven straight games.
