Anthony Bass allowed six runs on eight hits and three walks over 5 1/3 innings in a loss to the Mets on Friday night.

It was just the second time in nine starts this season where he allowed more than three runs. Bass, who entered the game with a 2.89 ERA, now has a 3.55 ERA and 1.23 WHIP on the year. He'll look to bounce back next week against the last-place Cubs.

Eric Stults (triceps) thinks he'll be able to make his next scheduled start Tuesday against the Cubs.

Stults is dealing with some soreness after being hit in the left triceps by a comebacker on Thursday, but it's not a major concern. The 32-year-old southpaw limited the Mets to one unearned run over five innings on Thursday, but he's not a recommended option in fantasy leagues.
May 25 - 6:02 PM

Micah Owings (forearm) has resumed a throwing program.

Owings has started throwing at Triple-A Tucson and should begin a rehab assignment there before long. He's not eligible for activation until late June.
May 25 - 10:10 AM

Carlos Quentin (knee) has rejoined High-A Lake Elsinore to resume his rehab assignment.

Quentin had to be shut down after playing two games for Lake Elsinore earlier this month when he developed soreness in his surgically-repaired right knee. The Padres aren't putting a timetable on his return. "The last time we talked, (Quentin) didn't feel good in his stance, and now he says he feels good in his stance, so he's gonna play (Friday) and see how he's doing," manager Bud Black said. "I think that time off gave him just what he needed, so we'll see how he does and take it day to day."

Cameron Maybin had a nice night at the plate, going 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI to lead the Padres to an 11-5 victory over the Mets on Thursday.

He also scored three times and swiped his 14th base of the season. He’s still only hitting .224 and striking out far too often (38 in 161 at-bats), but his tremendous speed and run scoring ability still make him an asset in most fantasy leagues.

Eric Stults pitched very well against the Mets on Thursday, allowing just one unearned run on four hits over five innings of work.

He struck out two and walked one on the night. The only run that Stults allowed came courtesy of a Nick Hundley throwing error in the second inning. The only thing he couldn’t do on the night was lay down a successful sacrifice bunt, failing twice. It appears he’s done more than enough to earn himself another start in the rotation, which would come against the Cubs in Chicago on Tuesday.

Carlos Quentin (knee) is slated to resume his minor league rehab assignment.

Quentin was shut down from his rehab assignment earlier this month after feeling soreness in his surgically-repaired knee, but he's back on track following a cortisone shot. The Padres don't want another setback, so they are likely to ease him back into action slowly. Don't expect him to come off the DL until sometime in June.

Tim Stauffer is getting a second opinion on his right elbow.

Stauffer made his season debut last week before returning to the disabled list with recurring soreness in the flexor tendon bundle in his elbow. There's no current timetable for his return.
May 24 - 5:16 PM

Cory Luebke underwent successful Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery on Wednesday.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Lewis Yocum. Luebke will miss the rest of the season and likely the early part of 2013, but he still has plenty of promise. The 27-year-old southpaw has a 3.25 ERA over his first 188 1/3 innings in the big leagues.
May 24 - 5:14 PM

Jeff Suppan was shelled for eight hits and five earned runs in 4 2/3 innings Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Suppan struggled from start to finish against his former team, yielding three runs in the first inning and another two before being pulled in the bottom of the fifth. The veteran righty is simply not a fantasy option.
May 23 - 11:19 PM

Huston Street (lat) played catch Wednesday for the fifth straight day.

"It's progressing nicely and I'm ready to start pushing it," Street said. He will start long-tossing later this week and, according to Padres manager Bud Black, is "getting closer to the mound." The right-hander will need a couple rehab appearances before rejoining the team's bullpen.
May 23 - 9:26 PM

Carlos Quentin (knee) played six innings in the outfield in an extended spring training game Wednesday.

He made it through the appearance without any issues. Quentin suffered a setback in his rehab almost a couple weeks ago, but he's starting to get back on track. He should be able to resume his rehab assignment soon.
May 23 - 7:46 PM

Chase Headley (back) is back in the Padres' lineup Wednesday.

Headley sat out Tuesday's game due to lower back tightness, but he's apparently feeling much better. The third baseman is batting .245/.368/.417 with five homers and three steals this season.
May 23 - 7:44 PM

Huston Street (lat) played catch prior to Tuesday's game and reported no discomfort.

"He feels good," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He went free and easy, no pain." Black said Street will throw a long-toss session soon, and a bullpen session will follow that. He's expected to make at least two rehab appearances before rejoining the Padres, so it sounds like we won't see him until June.
May 22 - 9:39 PM

Chase Headley is not in Tuesday's lineup due to lower back tightness.

It's a recurrence of an injury that he first suffered in spring training. Headley is missing only his second start of the season, and, until further notice, should be considered day-to-day.
