## Resource

The Padres are in a wild spot: their offense is cratering, with Tatis Jr. and Machado combining for just 18 homers, yet they’re still just one game out of a playoff spot. The real issue? A shaky starting rotation—12 different pitchers used this year, 12th in NL ERA. With Musgrove and Pivetta’s health uncertain, GM A.J. Preller may target veteran arms like Wacha or Lugo instead of pricey stars like Skubal. If Tatis and Machado don’t wake up, this team’s postseason hopes are in serious jeopardy. Elsewhere: Ohtani might skip the All-Star Game, the Phillies rejected Harper’s proposal, the Giants are stuck on Chapman without a Devers or Adames trade, and both Phillies and Braves face bad news on Byron Buxton.
