Padres Notes: Manny Machado Calls Out Dodgers, Injured Outfielder May Not Return, Trade Deadline Insight

The San Diego Padres lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers, 8-6, on Tuesday night and fell to 39-33 on the year.

Following Monday night's game, superstar Manny Machado took a shot at one of the Dodgers outfielders who insinuated that Dylan Cease had purposely hit him. Players getting pegged with pitches, intent or not, seemed to be a theme during Tuesday's game as well.

Additionally, a currently injured outfielder is at risk of not returning this season, but not because of health. The outfield has been a glaring area that lacks depth this season and the Friars may look to upgrade the position rather than bring him back.

Finally, with the trade deadline a little over a month away, a few different insiders shed light on the Padres' current situation. There are a couple avenues the Friars can take to bolstering their team for the final stretch of 2025.
