  6D ago •

  Voit went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and three runs in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs. The first baseman took Keegan Thompson deep in the second inning and then launched another homer off Mychal Givens in the seventh frame. Voit finally notched his first round trippers of the season Wednesday. The 31-year-old has struggled to a .184 batting average over 49 at-bats to open the season. Voit will look to springboard this effort into a hot stretch in the coming weeks.

• Padres' Luke Voit: Returns from injured list

  7D ago •

  Voit (biceps) was activated off the 10-day injured list Tuesday. The 31-year-old landed on the shelf April 23 with a biceps tendon injury and will rejoin the big-league roster after a five-game rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso. Voit went 0-for-18 with 12 strikeouts during the rehab stint, which isn't a great sign given his .143/.315/.167 slash line and 31.5 percent strikeout rate prior to the injury. The veteran slugger may need to get on track quickly in order to maintain a regular spot in San Diego's lineup.

  Voit (biceps) will return to Triple-A El Paso to get more rehab at-bats Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Voit has struggled significantly through five rehab games as he works his way back from a biceps issue, going 0-for-18 with 12 strikeouts. He got live at-bats at the team's practice facility in San Diego on Monday, and the verdict was evidently that he needs more time before returning from the injured list.

• Padres' Luke Voit: Golden sombrero for El Paso

  11D ago •

  Voit (biceps) struck out in all four plate appearances with Triple-A El Paso on Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. He is 0-for-13 with seven strikeouts and two walks on his rehab assignment. The expectation was that Voit would need about a week-long rehab stint, and that may still be the case, but he was also hitting .143 with 17 strikeouts in 54 plate appearances in the majors before injuring his bicep, so it's fair to be concerned about how productive he will be once activated.

• Padres' Luke Voit: Will have extended rehab stint

  12D ago •

  Voit (biceps) is expected to need a one-week rehab stint with Triple-A El Paso, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Voit reportedly feels fully healthy, but he is remaining on his rehab stint to fully find his swing prior to returning to San Diego. He has made two appearances with El Paso, collecting no hits through six at-bats while striking out twice. Given the new timeline, Voit will likely be back with the big-league club at some point during the series with the Cubs that begins Monday.
