What is the Padres’ current record and wildcard position at the All‑Star break?
All right, we've got Padres baseball returning tomorrow. Cannot wait. Super excited for it. We've got the Kansas City Royals on the road, then the Braves, then the Marlins. So a nice long road trip before the Padres return home after an off day to face off against the Rockies and the Giants. So where do the Padres stand? There are some IL situations as well. I just want to go through. That I think that's good. It's a good time to do it the day before Padres baseball returns. And so, yeah, let's let's just go through it. I think we should start, obviously, with the record and. You know where they're at in the wildcard picture, I get it, it's July 16th, but. This is the time where you're going to start looking at that stuff, because, all right, how realistic is it for the Padres to jump?
blank amount of teams to stay, not just get to, but stay in that third wildcard spot. So the divisions, obviously that's not happening. That's already done. That was done a while ago, but the Padres, they enter 48 and 48 going into the unofficial second half of the season. Cause obviously if you do the math properly, 162 games, 48 and 48, that does not equal 81. So they've definitely played more than one half of the season. But the unofficial second half, obviously, the baseball reference, first half, second half, you'll see that starting tomorrow is when those stats will count for the second half on some of those stats sites like that. In the wild card, Padres, three and a half games back of the Miami Marlins, who obviously they're facing in this road trip.
The Cardinals are a game back. The Pirates are two games back. The D-backs are two and a half back. So right now the Padres would have to leapfrog four teams, to make the postseason. And that's assuming that the Cubs and the Phillies stay in the postseason picture where they're at. They have the first and second wild cards. And then it's also assuming that's a team like the nationals doesn't come and surprise us and end up, you know, being in that, that wild card picture as well. So work is going to have to be done for sure being 500 and having to get to how many wins do you think? Let me know in the comments how many wins you think the Padres are going to have to get to to get into the postseason. But they're going to have to have a winning record the rest of the way.
That's for sure. Okay, the injury situation. So what is the roster going to look like going into it tomorrow? Okay. During this break, so yesterday, Wandy Peralta was put on the bereavement list, so not an injury, but he's going to be gone to start the second half, and then Johnny Burrito is going to be recalled and be on the roster.
How many wins does the team need to stay in the third wild‑card spot?
Matt Waldron was recalled before the break happened, so he is on the roster. And rotation-wise, you've got Michael King, you've got Walker Buehler, you've got Griffin Canning, you've got J.P. Sears, and you've got Herman Marquez. Giolito's on the I.L. still. Pavetta, Musgrove, when are they going to get back? We don't know. The earliest is going to be the month of August. At this point, maybe we should be more thinking about September. I know some are going to be really pessimistic and not think that they're going to return at all. I want to remain more optimistic than that. But yeah, it's not going to be in the month of July. It's probably not going to be in early August. There's some steps here that have to be taken.
The last time I heard about Musgrove was he was throwing off the mound at like 80% with fastballs. So that's not even the bigger hurdles that he has to get over, right? Because he's got to have the full complement of his pitches and be able to bounce back. Not just be able to do it once, but be able to bounce back in five, six days and do it again. And then bounce back again and do it again. And can he give you six innings, right? Like this rotation needs to give the Padres innings. And that goes, same thing with Pavetta. So we'll see. Freddie Fermin, he is, last time I saw he was on a rehab assignment. So we'll see when he comes back.
