  • The injury occurred during a 3-1 defeat to the NL Central champion Brewers.
  • Since arriving from Baltimore at the trade deadline, Laureano produced nine home runs and 30 RBIs for San Diego.
  • The Padres secured a postseason berth earlier in the week, and Tatis Jr. missed a third straight game due to an illness described by the team.
