Notes

Cueto watch: Johnny Cueto has had an up-and-down season, and is making his second start against the Padres. The first one didn’t go well: 3.2 innings, 4 hits, 3 walks, 4 earned runs, and 4 strikeouts.

Slater available, but not in the field: Austin Slater is available to play, but only as a DH:

Enjoy the baseball, friends.
