The Padres placed McCoy on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a sprained finger on his left hand.
McCoy is 0-for-5 with three strikeouts since being recalled from Triple-A on April 21, and he'll now need to wait at least 10 days before getting another chance to record his first big-league hit of the season. Luis Arraez (concussion) will return from the injured list Tuesday to make up for the loss of McCoy in San Diego's infield.

Padres' Yuli Gurriel: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
The Padres designated Gurriel for assignment Tuesday.
Gurriel has started 2025 very poorly, going just 4-for-36 with three RBI and two runs scored over 16 games. He'll now end up as one of the roster casualties needed to make room for the return of both Luis Arraez (concussion) and Jason Heyward (knee) from the injured list.

Padres' Luis Arraez: Expected to return Tuesday
Rotowire
Arraez (concussion) is expected to be activated from the 7-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game versus the Giants, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Arraez landed on the IL last week following a collision with the Astros' Mauricio Dubon, but he's poised to return after the minimum seven-day absence. The Padres have been using Gavin Sheets as their regular first baseman since Arraez went down, and Sheets will go back to being the club's primary designated hitter when Arraez returns.
Padres' Randy Vasquez: Suffers second straight loss
Rotowire
Vasquez (1-3) took the loss Sunday against the Rays, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out just one in 4.2 innings.
Vasquez retired the Rays in order through the first two innings, but Taylor Walls opened up the scoring in the third with a solo blast, the first home run Vasquez has allowed all season. Two more runs were scored against him before he exited, largely in part due to the excellent baserunning by Chandler Simpson. Vasquez has managed to get by with a 4.28 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 10:19 K:BB in 27.1 innings thus far and has a chance to be a stream start against the Pirates in his upcoming outing this weekend.
The Padres transferred Hoeing (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.
The move makes room on the Padres' 40-man roster for David Morgan, whose contract was selected from Double-A San Antonio in a corresponding move. Hoeing started the season on the 15-day IL due to a right shoulder strain that he had been dealing with throughout camp. He's in the midst of a throwing program, and his move to the 60-day IL means he won't be eligible to return until late May.

Padres' Logan Gillaspie: Lands on IL with oblique strain
Rotowire
The Padres placed Gillaspie on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.
Gillaspie appeared to suffer the injury during the seventh inning of Saturday's loss to the Rays, and he will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. In corresponding moves, David Morgan's contract was selected from Double-A San Antonio and Bryan Hoeing (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL.

Padres' David Morgan: Heading to majors
Rotowire
The Padres selected Morgan's contract from Double-A San Antonio on Sunday.
Morgan will make the jump to the majors straight from Double-A, where he has posted a 3.12 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 8.2 innings while striking out 19 batters. He'll serve out of the Padres' bullpen after Logan Gillaspie (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.
Cease (1-2) took the loss Saturday against the Rays after allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and four walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out six.
The 29-year-old generated 19 whiffs but struggled to put away hitters and was unable to get through the fifth inning after 95 pitches (54 strikes) for the day. It was the third consecutive start in which Cease gave up exactly two earned runs, and he has a 3.60 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB over 15 innings during that span. He hasn't picked up a win since April 2 versus Cleveland but lines up for a favorable matchup in Pittsburgh next weekend.
Padres' Fernando Tatis: Tallies another multi-hit game
Rotowire
Tatis went 2-for-4 with a double in Friday's loss to the Rays.
Tatis was the only Padre to record an extra-base hit Friday, and he submitted his 11th multi-hit game of the campaign in the process. Through 110 plate appearances in 2025, the star outfielder is slashing .340/.409/.629 with eight home runs, 17 RBI, 23 runs scored and seven stolen bases. Tatis ranks second in the National League in batting average and third in OPS across his 25 outings.

Padres' Michael King: Tough-luck loss vs. Rays
Rotowire
King (3-1) took the loss Friday against the Rays after allowing one unearned run on four hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out nine.
King was impressive despite being saddled with his first loss Friday, generating 14 whiffs en route to his third outing this year without giving up an earned run. The lone run scored by Taylor Walls went unearned due to a Xander Bogaerts throwing error to open the third inning, and the right-hander fanned at least seven in his third straight start. King boasts a 2.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 40:11 K:BB over 33 innings this season, setting him up as a strong fantasy option in a soft matchup versus the Pirates for his next scheduled outing.
