Summary
Nick Pivetta’s elbow strain is keeping him sidelined longer than expected—no rush back until he can throw real velocity off a mound, aiming for post-All-Star-break return. Manager Craig Stammen is frustrated with Michael King’s recent outings, citing early struggles and high pitch counts as part of a troubling trend for starters. Manny Machado reflects on his Orioles past, noting his San Diego stats now outpace his Baltimore numbers in homers and RBIs. Meanwhile, AJ Preller faces mounting pressure from the Padres’ front office as trade deadline rumors swirl around big-name targets. The team’s future hinges on whether its core stars can find their rhythm—and if so, could dramatically shift the franchise’s championship outlook.
