Tyler Wade is starting at second base. This at one time did not merit special mention. But Wednesday’s game (9:10 a.m. PT) against the Marlins will be Wade’s first time in the starting lineup since June 25.

MLB insider says the San Diego Padres are a 'long shot' to trade for Boston Red Sox star with 51 RBI despite strong interest ahead of the deadline.

Alcantara (4-9, 7.14 ERA) is 2-2 with a 4.04 ERA in six career starts against the Padres, and he pitched poorly in a no-decision at San Diego on May 28. He yielded six runs on seven hits in four innings, walking four and failing to record a strikeout for only the third time in his career.

The Padres scored twice in the 9th inning and had the tying run on second base, but their comeback effort ultimately fell short.

The Miami Marlins have been named in a huge three-team trade with the Boston Red Sox and San Diego Padres before the MLB trade deadline.

The San Diego Padres have been closely linked to a blockbuster trade for Boston Red Sox star outfielder Jarren Duran for the last few weeks.
