Tyler Wade went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, one RBI, and a stolen base in the Padres' 6-0 victory over the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

Wade's performance was a bright spot in what has been a relatively modest season for the shortstop, who now sports a .245 batting average and .272 wOBA through 67 games. His ability to swipe bases, evidenced by his eighth steal of the season, remains one of the few consistent fantasy-relevant aspects of his game. While his power numbers are negligible, Wade's speed and run-scoring potential in games where he gets on base make him a situational fantasy option, particularly in deeper leagues or as a streaming choice against favorable matchups.
