## Resource

Jhony Brito’s long-awaited return is finally here after a full season sidelined by elbow surgery, and he’s ready to pitch in any role the Padres need—whether starting, piggybacking, or backing up an opener. Acquired in the Juan Soto trade, Brito’s rehab journey took him through minor league levels before his comeback. Meanwhile, fellow pitcher Jeremiah Estrada is inching back from knee inflammation, with a possible return in the second half. With the bullpen thin, the Padres are counting on both pitchers to help fill the void, while Sung-Mun Song is stepping up offensively and defensively, boosting his OPS and showing renewed confidence.
