The Padres have claimed LHP Norm Thomas off of waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks.

I was surprised to see Thomas on waivers after taking a look at his stats. On paper he’s a decent reliever, but he has found some major success so far for Arizona – 0.64 ERA, 0.71 WHIP, 8.4 K/9 over 10 games. At the very least, he was worth claiming because he gives us another option to play around with if we want to shake up our bullpen a bit.

In league news, Orioles’ star pitcher Juan Gutierrez will be out for the next 3 months. The 29 year old lefty strained his hamstring while attempting to cover first base. In 13 starts this year [COLOR="rgb(255, 140, 0)"]Gutierrez [/COLOR]is 6-1 with a 2.32 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 10.7 K/9, and 3.0 WAR.

Dodgers ace Tommy Thompson is set to miss the next 3-4 months with what is being described as shoulder inflammation. The 25 year old righty complained about pain in his throwing arm and was taken out of today’s game against the Cardinals. So far this season [COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]Thompson [/COLOR]is 7-2 with a 1.39 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 11.0 K/9, and 3.0 WAR.

Former Padre and current Phillies outfielder Bernardo Orosco has reached hit #2000! The 33 year old went 3-5 in today’s game against the Cubs, as his team took the game 4-3. Orosco was the NL MVP for the Padres in 2026, but throughout his career he has been known as an incredibly electric player that can’t seem to stay off of the DL.

San Diego starter Cesar Silva has made his way onto the DL. The 35 year old partially tore his labrum during today’s game against the Rockies. The Padres have had success in the past with bringing in veteran pitching, and Silva proved to be no different. In 14 starts this year he is 6-2 with a 3.00 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 7.0 K/9. He’s expected to miss a minimum of 3-4 months as he recovers. 26 year old righty, Eric Williams, has been called up from AAA to take Silva’s spot in the rotation.

Monthly Review

The team is kind of in an awkward position here – we aren’t playing well, but we’re not playing bad enough to be out of contention. We’re only 3.5 games back in the Wild Card race, so we’re still in the mix. The next couple of weeks will determine the rest of our season, and maybe even how things play out over the next few seasons. If we can hang in there, we’ll make the changes needed to make the playoffs. If not, then we could see things get shaken up quite a bit.
