The Padres have yet to announce any moves, but their 13-man position-player group is set.

Mason McCoy, Oscar Gonzalez, Connor Joe and Luis Campusano can be sent to the minors (through options/assignments).

Eguy Rosario and Tyler Wade are out of options. Their status is unclear.

Fantasy Impact:

Joe’s bid for a Padres roster spot falls short Monday, edged out by Yuli Gurriel and Brandon Lockridge, leveraging his remaining options to head to Triple-A El Paso. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his bat for a 2025 call-up to San Diego if he performs well in the minors early on.
