30 Eric Hosmer 1B

Hosmer went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI, one walk and one strikeout in Friday's Game 3 win against the Cardinals.

Hosmer put the Padres on the board Friday with a double in the bottom of the fifth inning, and he brought in another run when he drew a walk in the bottom of the seventh inning. During the NL Wild Card Series, Hosmer went 2-for-12 with three RBI, one run, one walk and two strikeouts.

Hosmer is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Mitch Moreland will take over at first base as Austin Nola serves as the DH against lefty Drew Smyly. Hosmer has been hitting since his return from a finger injury Sept. 19 (.280 average) and will end the regular season with a career-high slugging percentage after never previously clearing .500 in his career.

Hosmer went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.

The veteran first baseman went deep during the opening frame, but the two-run shot was the only scoring the Friars were able to muster all day. Hosmer is now 3-for-15 with one homer, three RBI, one walk and five strikeouts in four games since returning from the injured list over the weekend.

Hosmer (finger) went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Mariners.

Hosmer batted fifth and played the whole game at first base. He missed nearly two weeks with a fractured finger. Hosmer figures to battle with Mitch Moreland and Tommy Pham for playing time at first base or as the designated hitter the rest of the way. Hosmer has a .287/.341/.533 slash line with eight homers, three stolen bases, 32 RBI and 20 runs scored in 32 games this year.

Hosmer (finger) will be activated off the 10-day injured list Saturday and start versus the Mariners, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

The 30-year-old has been sidelined since Sept. 7 with a fractured finger on his left hand, but he'll return from the injured list for Saturday's contest. Hosmer and Mitch Moreland figure to split time between first base and designated hitter for the Padres.

Hosmer (finger) is likely to return off the injured list this weekend or shortly thereafter, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Hosmer went on the 10-day injured list due to a fractured left finger Sept. 8 and has now reached his eligible return date. The 30-year-old has progressed to live batting practice and is no longer wearing a splint, so he appears imminently ready to rejoin the active roster.

Hosmer (finger) took part in live batting practice on the field prior to Tuesday's game, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Hosmer worked out without a splint Monday, and he took a big step by participating in live batting practice Tuesday. A timetable for his return still hasn't been established, but he's making rapid progress. Mitch Moreland should continue to see work at first base while Hosmer is sidelined.

Hosmer was able to work out Monday without a splint to protect the fractured index finger on his left hand, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Hosmer was seen fielding grounders and taking part in some light throwing with a piece of tape over the injured digit. His ability to get in some on-field work minus the splint is a tangible sign of progress in his recovery, but the first baseman still isn't expected back from the 10-day injured list until the final week of the regular season in a best-case scenario. Mitch Moreland will continue to make most of the starts at first base for the Padres until Hosmer is deemed fit to play.

Hosmer (finger) fielded groundballs and stood in to see pitches during a bullpen session Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Hosmer is recovering from a fractured left finger suffered during a bunt attempt last Monday. He's not yet swinging a bat, but the Padres are optimistic that he can begin working at the team's alternate training site next week. That could set him on track to log some major-league at-bats before the end of the regular season.

Hosmer landed on the 10-day injured list with a broken finger Tuesday.

The move was an expected one after the first baseman fractured his left index finger on a bunt attempt Monday. He's expected to have a chance to return in the final week of the regular season, though that might be only to get a few at-bats in as he prepares for the playoffs. Outfielder Abraham Almonte was recalled in a corresponding move.

Hosmer is expected to be able to return at some point during the final week of the regular season, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Hosmer suffered the injury on a bunt attempt Monday. He may not be able to take the field before the postseason starts, as it's likely to take longer for him to be able to throw than to hit, but he should be able to at least receive a few at-bats as a pinch hitter or designated hitter in preparation for the playoffs.

Hosmer (finger) was diagnosed with a fractured left finger Monday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Hosmer exited Monday's contest after fouling a bunt attempt off his finger. The severity of the injury was originally unclear, though he was ultimately diagnosed with a fractured left index finger. With around three weeks remaining in the season, it's unclear if Hosmer will be able to return, though he will almost certainly miss a significant amount of time.

Hosmer was spotted at the top of the dugout with a splint on his finger after exiting Monday's contest, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Hosmer exited Monday's contest after fouling a bunt attempt off his finger. He was seen leaving the dugout with a trainer immediately after exiting the game but was also seen back in the dugout later on. Mitch Moreland took over for Hosmer at first base.

Hosmer injured his finger and exited Monday's contest against the Rockies, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Hosmer was attempting to bunt, but fouled the ball off both the bat and his left hand. The extent of his injury is not known, but Hosmer was seen leaving the dugout with trainers. Mitch Moreland entered the game at first base.

Hosmer was ejected in the eighth inning of Saturday's loss to Oakland for arguing a called third strike.

Prior to the ejection, Hosmer went 0-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base. San Diego was down 8-1 at the time Hosmer was tossed, so his departure had little impact on the outcome of the game. The 30-year-old is unlikely to face further discipline.

Hosmer went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, two additional runs scored and a walk in Wednesday's win over the Angels.

Hosmer notched his eighth long ball of the season in the top of the eighth inning, and he capped an eight-run inning by the Padres that pulled the game away for good. Hosmer also pushed his hitting streak to five games, a span in which he has hit .550 with two homers and a 1.559 OPS.

Hosmer went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 13-2 win over the Rockies.

Hosmer set the tone for Sunday's game early with his three-run blast in the first frame. The 30-year-old lefty owns a strong .290/.340/.570 slash line with 12 extra-base hits and 25 RBI.

Hosmer went 4-for-5 with a double, three runs scored and an RBI during Friday's win at Coors Field.

The 30-year-old was dominant at the plate, swatting a season-high four hits, including his fifth double of the season. Overall, he's batting .286/.341/.560 with 22 RBI and 16 runs scored across 25 games this year.

Hosmer went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Mariners.

Hosmer was late to the launch-angle party, but he's made an adjustment and it's paying off in a big way. He's added roughly 10 degrees to his average launch angle and in turn has added more than 130 points to his slugging percentage. The 30-year-old has also trimmed his K-rate back down and is even running a bit, so Year 3 in San Diego is looking a lot better than Years 1 and 2 did.

Hosmer went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, a stolen base and a walk during Thursday's victory over the Rangers.

It was a record-setting night for the Padres as Hosmer hit San Diego's fourth grand slam in as many nights, marking the first time in major league history that a team delivered gram slams in four consecutive nights. The 30-year-old took Kyle Gibson deep in the fifth inning, tallying his fifth home run of the season. He also singled and swiped his second bag of the year in the third. Across 18 games, Hosmer is averaging .250/.311/.554.
