San Diego Padres

Padres starter Jason Marquis could have been more economical with his pitches Monday against the Cardinals. Still, he was able to patch enough together to earn the win. 

Marquis improved to 6-2 on the year with a 3.27 ERA as he allowed just two runs -- one earned -- around three hits and four walks. He threw 93 pitches and lasted just six innings despite the low hit total. Marquis struck out three. 

The 34-year-old has given up three earned runs in his last three starts over 19 innings despite nine walks. In fact, Marquis is on a five-start winning streak. Rolling since his last loss coming way back on April 22, Marquis makes his next start Sunday in Arizona. 

Padres closer Huston Street notched his 11th save Monday against the Cardinals,

Street made it look easy with a 1-2-3 ninth. 

He needed 12 pitches as he threw nine for strikes lowering his ERA to 4.19. Street, who has saves in two straight games since suffering his last loss, has been a bit shaky at times this season. Still, he's 11 for 12 in save chances. 

Padres outfielder Cameron Maybin (wrist) is expected to get around 30 rehab at-bats, MLB.com reports Monday. 

Maybin will hit in the cage and on the field over the next few days and will go on a rehab assignment in the minor leagues if all goes well. His assignment should begin Friday. Maybin could return for the Padres by the end of the month. 

Padres outfielder James Darnell could need another surgery on his injured left shoulder, MLB.com reports Monday. Darnell injured the shoulder with Triple-A Tucson May 14. 

Darnell was in San Diego last week to confer with team doctors. He already has had two operations on the shoulder in 2011 and 2012. Darnell is likely to be sidelined for a long time. 

Padres second baseman Jedd Gyorko is on fire after a rough start to the season.

Gyorko hit .247/.317/.323 in April but is hitting .310/.375/.586 in May. Gyorko was starting to show signs of effectiveness in late April, with eight hits in his final four games that month. 

Fantasy owners may have dropped Gyorko after a poor start, but he seems to have turned things around. Gyorko is owned in 72 percent of leagues, but he's a must-add for owners who need help in the middle infield or at third base.
