Padres' Brandon Lockridge: Lands on IL with strained hamstring
Rotowire
The Padres placed Lockridge on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left hamstring strain.
Lockridge had to depart Sunday's game against the Rockies with the injury and it's going to cost him at least the next week-and-a-half of action. He had been filling in for Jackson Merrill (hamstring) as the Padres' primary center fielder. San Diego could use a combination of Tyler Wade and Jason Heyward in center field until one of Merrill or Lockridge returns.

Padres' Brandon Lockridge: Filling in for injured Merrill
Rotowire
Lockridge will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Lockridge will man center for the third game in a row and could end up getting a look as a full-time player in the San Diego outfield while Jackson Merrill (hamstring) is on the shelf. The Padres lack any other natural center fielders on the active roster, and Tirso Ornelas -- who's currently playing at Triple-A El Paso -- is the only other healthy option on the 40-man roster that might be viewed as a potential replacement option for Merrill. Lockridge has posted a modest .633 OPS over 21 plate appearances so far this season but he showcased excellent on-base skills (.410 OBP) and elite speed (46 steals in 52 attempts) between his two Triple-A stops in 2024.
Padres' Brandon Lockridge: Double, stolen base off the bench
Rotowire
Lockridge went 1-for-1 with an RBI-double, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-0 win over Atlanta.
Lockridge entered as a pinch hitter for Jason Heyward in the sixth inning, drawing a walk versus lefty Jose Suarez. Lockridge would remain in the game to face right-hander Hector Neris in the eighth, where he roped an RBI-double before stealing third base and scoring on a Fernando Tatis single. The 28-year-old Lockridge still finds himself on the short side of a platoon, though he could soon see more playing time over Heyward, who's gone 0-for-10 to start the year. Lockridge would offer some upside in the Padres' lineup thanks to his base-stealing ability -- he swiped 46 bags in the minors last season.

Padres' Brandon Lockridge: Slated for short-side platoon in LF
Rotowire
Lockridge is expected to open the season on the short side of a platoon in left field with Jason Heyward, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
The speedy Lockridge won a spot on the Padres' Opening Day roster after hitting .364 with seven stolen bases during Cactus League play. His stolen-base potential could make him relevant in fantasy leagues if he ever receives enough starts, but for now, Lockridge's playing time projects to be limited.

Padres' Brandon Lockridge: Running wild this spring
Rotowire
Lockridge went 1-for-2 with a run, a stolen base and a caught stealing Thursday in a Cactus League loss to Kansas City.
Lockridge has performed well through 13 spring contests, posting a .370/.414/.519 slash line with two doubles, a triple, four runs, one RBI and five stolen bases. The theft total is tied for second among all players this spring and highlights Lockridge's biggest strength -- he stole 48 bases in 54 attempts at Triple-A last season. Lockridge is competing for one of San Diego's final roster spots for position players, though the impressive play of Gavin Sheets (five homers, 11 RBI) and Tirso Ornelas (.324 BA, 6:3 BB:K) has created a tight competition.
