Wade is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup against the Rockies.
As a lefty-hitter, Wade will hand off the start to righty-hitting Eguy Rosario at third base as southpaw Ty Blach takes the mound. Wade has seen the majority of playing time at third base with 16 starts out of 26 games this season, due to Manny Machado being limited to serving as the designated hitter as he continues to recover from an offseason elbow injury.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Heads to bench Monday
Rotowire
Wade is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.
The lefty-hitting Wade will give way to the righty-hitting Eguy Rosario at third base while southpaw Austin Gomber takes the hill for Colorado. Wade had started in three of the previous four games and continues to see the majority of the time at the hot corner while Manny Machado (paternity) remains limited to designated hitter duties following his offseason elbow surgery.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Out of starting lineup
Rotowire
Wade will not start Sunday against the Dodgers.
Wade has taken the bulk of starts at the third base this season, but he won't start Sunday as Eguy Rosario takes the field. The 30-year-old Wade went 4-for-8 to begin the year but has gone 4-for-27 across his past 12 games.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Registers third steal
Rotowire
Wade went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base Saturday in a loss to the Dodgers.
Wade knocked in a run with a seventh-inning single and proceeded to steal second base but was stranded there. The theft was his third of the campaign, second-most on the Padres behind Ha-Seong Kim. Wade has 82nd-percentile sprint speed and has swiped as many as 17 bags in an MLB season (in 2021 with the Yankees), so he could be a sneaky source of steals while he's playing regularly. However, he'll almost certainly lose playing time once Manny Machado -- who so far has been limited to DH duties while recovering from offseason elbow surgery -- returns to playing the field.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Gaining traction at hot corner
Rotowire
Wade will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Wade had been part of a messy three-man timeshare at third base during the first full week of the regular season, but he seems to have moved into a larger side of the platoon with Eguy Rosario at the position after the Padres cleared up the logjam by optioning Graham Pauley to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Wade will garner his fifth straight start Wednesday after going 1-for-9 with a walk and a stolen base over the previous four contests. Both Wade and Rosario will lose out on opportunities at the hot corner once Manny Machado -- who has been limited to designated-hitter duties thus far -- completes his throwing program as he works his way back from October surgery to repair a tendon in his right elbow.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Losing playing time
Rotowire
Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
He'll remain on the bench with southpaw Zack Thompson on the hill for St. Louis, but the lefty-hitting Wade had already been withheld from the starting nine in two of the previous three games in which the Padres faced off against right-handers. After manning third base for each of San Diego's first three contests of the regular season, Wade's perch atop the depth chart seems to be loosening, with Graham Pauley and Eguy Rosario beginning to earn more playing time at his expense. All three players are likely to see their opportunities dwindle, however, once Manny Machado is cleared to play the hot corner on an everyday basis, as he remains limited to designated-hitter duties for now following October elbow surgery.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Sitting vs. lefty Friday
Rotowire
Wade is not in the Padres' lineup Friday against the Giants.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Makes Opening Day roster
Rotowire
The Padres selected Wade from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
After signing a minor-league contract with the Padres in November, Wade will officially join the big-league club ahead of San Diego's opening series in South Korea against the Dodgers. Wade slashed .294/.351/.471 across 37 spring plate appearances and gives the Padres another option at third base due to Manny Machado (elbow) being limited to a DH role at the moment.

Padres' Tyler Wade: Inks minors deal with San Diego
Rotowire
Wade signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Nov. 3.
Wade spent the large majority of the 2023 season with the Triple-A affiliate of the Athletics. The 28-year-old utility player is a career .217/.293/.300 hitter in 709 plate appearances at the major-league level.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Selected from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Athletics selected Wade's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Wade was sent outright to Las Vegas in mid-July, but he'll return to Oakland after slashing .297/.366/.405 over 10 games since his demotion. He'll take the place of Manny Pina, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Cast off 40-man
Rotowire
Wade was outrighted off Oakland's 40-man roster on Friday.
He is essentially being replaced by Zack Gelof, who is getting the call from Triple-A Las Vegas along with Tyler Soderstrom on Friday. Wade hit .255 with zero home runs and four steals in 55 plate appearances and was worth 0.2 fWAR in his part-time role that included seeing time at four different positions.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Sits against lefty
Rotowire
Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
The lefty-hitting Wade will cede shortstop duties to the righty-hitting Nick Allen for the second game in a row with Detroit bringing another southpaw (Eduardo Rodriguez) to the bump. Since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas on June 17, Wade appears to have settled in as Oakland's primary shortstop versus right-handed pitching. He's slashing .393/.393/.500 in 28 at-bats since his call-up, but Wade hasn't provided any home runs or stolen bases during that stretch.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Laces triple in win
Rotowire
Wade went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run in a win over the Yankees on Tuesday.
Wade laced his first three-bagger at the big-league level since 2021 in the third inning and subsequently crossed the plate with the Athletics' first run of the game on Esteury Ruiz's single. The 28-year-old has now hit safely in five of the last six games, and with Kevin Smith going in for a second opinion on the back injury that he currently has no return timetable for, Wade's roster spot appears secure for the time being.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Multi-hit effort in loss
Rotowire
Wade went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.
Wade hit safely for the third time in his last four starts while producing his first multi-hit effort and RBI of the season at the big-league level. The 28-year-old has been a positive addition offensively since his June 17 call-up, hitting .333 (5-for-15) with a double, Saturday's RBI and one run. With Kevin Smith on the injured list due to a back strain that could potentially keep him out beyond 10 days, Wade, who can play second base, third base and across the outfield, is making an early case to potentially hold on to a roster spot even when he returns.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Doubles, scores in loss
Rotowire
Wade went 1-for-2 with a double and a run in a loss to the Guardians on Wednesday.
Making his second straight start at shortstop, Wade hit safely for the second consecutive game while collecting his first extra-base hit in 13 big-league appearances this season. The well-traveled veteran is slated to remain with the Athletics through Kevin Smith's (back) stint on the injured list, at minimum.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Called up to Oakland
Rotowire
The Athletics selected Wade's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.
Wade is up with the big club to replace infielder Kevin Smith, who landed on the injured list with a strained back. Wade had appeared in 10 MLB games this season, stealing four bases despite striking out in eight of his 16 plate appearances. He has a career .211/.290/.293 slash line across parts of seven seasons in the majors, so he's unlikely to carve out a regular role even on a sub-.500 team like Oakland.

Athletics' Tyler Wade: Outrighted to minors
Rotowire
The Athletics outrighted Wade to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.
He'll remain in the organization after he went unclaimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment over the weekend. During his two-week stint in the big leagues, Wade contributed four stolen bases but went just 1-for-13 at the plate.
