Will Venable smashed his fifth home run of the season in Friday's loss to the Rays.
The first inning blast off Alex Cobb was his only hit in four trips on the evening. He also swiped a pair of bases and scored a run on a balk, after reaching on a strikeout in the third inning. He's always possessed a dazzling combination of power and speed, which has been on display in the early part of the season, as he's hitting .244/.316/.465 with five bombs and seven stolen bases.
May 10 - 10:50 PM
Will Venable went 2-for-4 with a homer and three RBI versus the Marlins on Tuesday.
Venable has had a quiet season so far, but with homers in back-to-back starts, maybe he's getting it turned around. It hasn't helped matters that the Padres have faced a ton of lefties lately, which has resulted in him coming off the bench more often than not.
May 8 - 1:23 AM
Will Venable went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers.
He also drew two walks and stole a base, filling up the box score nicely. Venable came into the game with just two base knocks in his first 15 at-bats, so it was a nice breakout showing. Nick Hundley also went deep for the Pads.
Apr 9 - 10:23 PM
Will Venable connected for his third home run of the spring in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Indians.
He walked in his only other plate appearance. Venable's fantasy appeal is a bit complicated since he's set to platoon with Chris Denorfia in right field again, but he should still get the majority of the at-bats. Coming off nine home runs and 24 stolen bases last season, there could be more upside on the way this year now that the fences have moved in at PETCO Park.

Yasmani Grandal
Suspended
Yasmani Grandal will begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Tucson.
Grandal is still serving his 50-game suspension for a positive PED test, but he is allowed to begin a 10-game minor league assignment. The 24-year-old backstop is eligible to join the Padres on May 28 and may split playing time with Nick Hundley upon his return.

Logan Forsythe
D.L.
Logan Forsythe (foot) took batting practice on the field Thursday.
It's the first time he's done so since plantar fasciitis in his right foot sent him to the DL prior to the season. Forsythe also took ground balls before Thursday's game. "He's on the field doing baseball activities stuff, so he's on the way back," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He's on the mend." The team hasn't revealed a timetable for Forsythe, but he should be ready sometime next month if all goes well.

Carlos Quentin
Sidelined
Carlos Quentin is not in the Padres' lineup Tuesday after tweaking his knee during Monday's game.
Quentin missing games here and there due to his chronic knee issues has become routine. The good news is that he's expected to be back in there Wednesday. Chris Denorfia is getting the start in left field Tuesday.

Cameron Maybin
D.L.
Padres manager Bud Black said he'd like Cameron Maybin (wrist) to get around 30 rehab at-bats.
Maybin hit in the cage and on the field before Monday's game and will do the same thing on Tuesday and Wednesday. Assuming it goes well, he'll begin a rehab assignment on Friday. Maybin could return before the end of the month.

Clayton Richard
D.L.
Clayton Richard (illness) gave up two runs in six innings Tuesday in his second minor league rehab start with Triple-A Tucson.
Richard, out since May 4 with an intestinal virus, gave up five hits and no walks while striking out four. The southpaw threw 65 out of 94 pitches for strikes. It should be enough for the Padres to activate him from the disabled list.

Cory Luebke
D.L.
Cory Luebke (elbow) has had his throwing program stopped for the second time this year in his attempt to return from Tommy John surgery.
Luebke was shut down in early March before resuming sessions of catch on April 1, and he had progressed to throwing off a mound before this latest setback. Obviously none of this bodes well for his mission to return to live major league games by the All-Star break.
May 18

Joe Wieland
D.L.
Joe Wieland (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday at the Padres' spring training complex.
Wieland, currently on the 60-day disabled list, is nine months removed from Tommy John surgery and will continued to be moved along slowly. If he can avoid setbacks, Wieland should be game-ready sometime after the All-Star break.

Casey Kelly
D.L.
Padres placed LHP Casey Kelly on the 60-day disabled list with a left elbow injury.
Kelly will undergo Tommy John surgery during the first week of April. Obviously, he won't be making any contribution this season.
