Padres bring on quality veteran slugger to start 2025 MLB season
The San Diego Padres have given Jose Iglesias a roster spot to begin the 2025 MLB season. Padres: Jose Iglesias makes cut after competitive spring According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, Iglesias will be on the Padres' 26-man roster on Opening Day (h/t The Sporting News' Aaliyan Mohammed). Iglesias was among a bevy of veteran talents that the Padres brought on in the offseason. He previously parted ways with the New York Mets after a stout 2024 campaign. Credit: Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images Last season, the 35-year-old hit an astounding .337 at the plate with 39 runs scored for the Mets. Iglesias was a playoff hero for New York, helping them reach the NLCS. Albeit, the Mets prioritized roster flexibility and cultivating their young talent over bringing the veteran slugger back for 2025. Now, he'll look to help San Diego win a World Series in the upcoming season. Iglesias will be an uber-efficient bat for Padres in 2025 Iglesias will give the Padres a reliable bat in the middle, or at the end of their batting order. San Diego has a wealth of elite sluggers atop their order that could be driven to home plate by the seasoned veteran. Iglesias will be an option to backup shortstop Xander Bogaerts, third baseman Manny Machado, or second baseman Jake Cronenworth. The Padres have much to look forward to, as he could be a game-changing presence for their Fall Classic pursuit. More must-reads:

Webb sharp, offense struggles as Giants lose to Padres in 10 innings
Jose Iglesias hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th to break a scoreless tie, scoring automatic runner Jake Cronenworth as the San Diego Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 1-0 on Monday night. Tyler Wade's sacrifice bunt started the inning against Ryan Walker (1-3). Robert Suarez (1-1) gave up Patrick Bailey's leadoff single in the ninth but got out of it unscathed and finished for the win. Logan Webb struck out seven and didn't walk a batter over eight scoreless innings and outdueled Stephen Kolek for much of the game but didn't have a win to show for it as San Francisco squandered scoring chances. Logan Webb #62 of the San Francisco Giants pitches against the San Diego Padres in the second inning at Oracle Park on June 02, 2025 in San Estrada entered for San Diego with a runner aboard and two outs in the seventh then walked Tyler Fitzgerald. After a mound visit, Heliot Ramos walked to load the bases but Jung Hoo Lee struck out on three pitches. Kolek pitched into the sixth in his sixth major league start. He retired pinch-hitter Jerar Encarnacion on an inning-ending groundout after Encarnacion came off the 60-day injured list earlier Monday following a hand fracture in spring training that required surgery. Manny Machado went hitless for only the seventh time in his last 28 games for the Padres, who are in a stretch playing 26 games in 27 days through June 25 — all of those games against the NL West. Webb and catcher Patrick Bailey turned an inning-ending double play in the second when Wade struck out swinging and Bailey fired to shortstop Willy Adames to catch Jake Cronenworth trying to steal second. The Giants then missed an opportunity grounding into a double play to end the bottom half, and did so again in the third. Both starters hit batters with pitches in the first three innings, including Giants designated hitter Wilmer Flores grimacing and letting out a groan as he took a hard inside pitch off his left elbow in the third. Flores was visibly upset and Padres catcher Elias Díaz tried to defuse the situation as Flores made his way toward first. RHP Ryan Bergert (1-0, 0.00 ERA) pitches the second game for San Diego opposite Giants RHP Landen Roupp (3-4, 3.54).

Padres get small-ball run in 10th, edge Giants 1-0
June 3 - Jose Iglesias drove in the game's only run with a 10th-inning sacrifice fly and the San Diego Padres spoiled a brilliant pitching effort by Logan Webb in a 1-0 victory over the host San Francisco Giants on Monday night. While winning for just the second time in five extra-inning affairs this year, the Padres used fundamental baseball to plate the decisive tally. Tyler Wade sacrificed automatic runner Jake Cronenworth to third base, and Iglesias drove him home with a fly to medium-deep left field off Ryan Walker (1-3). Robert Suarez (1-1), who pitched the final two innings, stranded a runner at third base in the bottom of the 10th by getting Jerar Encarnacion to line out to first baseman Luis Arraez for the final out. Padres starter Stephen Kolek combined with four relievers on a five-hitter. Making just his sixth career start, Kolek overcame three hits, two walks and two hit batsmen to log 5 2/3 scoreless innings. He struck out three. Webb went unrewarded for eight shutout, walk-free innings in which he allowed the Padres just six hits. He struck out seven. The Giants loaded the bases with no outs in the second inning before Kolek induced consecutive grounders to third baseman Iglesias. The first resulted in a force out at the plate before Iglesias elected to go around the horn for an inning-ending double play on the second. San Francisco took advantage of three walks to load the bases again in the seventh, but Jeremiah Estrada, the Padres' third pitcher, struck out Jung Hoo Lee to keep the game scoreless. The Padres' best chance to score against Webb came in the third when Arraez stroked a two-out double into the right field corner with Elias Diaz on first. But the lumbering catcher could only reach third on the hit, where he was stranded when Webb got Manny Machado to pop out. Wearing No. 4 on the back of his uniform on a day when major-leaguers honored Lou Gehrig with a No. 4 patch on the front of the jersey, Arraez joined teammate Xander Bogaerts as the only players in the game with an extra-base hit, each with a double. Adrian Morejon and Jason Adam also contributed to the Padres' pitching effort, which resulted in just the Giants' second loss in six extra-inning games this season. --Field Level Media
