MLB - San Diego Padres

Burch Smith SP,P: Burch Smith gives up three... May 18, 1:36AM

Burch Smith gave up five runs and three homers in 5 1/3 innings Friday in a no-decision against the Nationals. Smith struck out eight and walked just one, but there was no overcoming the homers. He has a 15.63 ERA after two starts, so his rotation spot is tenuous at best.

Chase Headley 3B: Padres have no intention of... May 17, 8:25PM

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Padres don't intend to trade Chase Headley. Headley has remained firm in his stance that he doesn't want to discuss a contract extension during the season, but that hasn't caused the Padres to panic. The 28-year-old third baseman won't become a free agent until after the 2014 season, so there is still plenty of time for the two sides to work out an agreement. And if they can't, the Padres can always explore the possibility down the road.

Carlos Quentin LF: Quentin will return to Padres... May 17, 7:36PM

Carlos Quentin will return from the paternity leave list Saturday. Quentin missed Thursday's game following the birth of his son and was placed on paternity leave Friday. The Padres will have to make a roster move Saturday in order to bring him back.

Thad Weber RP: Padres designate RHP Weber... May 17, 5:46PM

Padres designated RHP Thad Weber for assignment. The move clears a spot for Tim Stauffer on the 40-man roster. Weber made three appearances with the Padres earlier this season and owns a 3.93 ERA and 26/4 K/BB ratio in 34 1/3 innings over six starts in Triple-A. He could draw some interest on waivers.

Tim Stauffer SP: Padres call up RHP Stauffer... May 17, 5:44PM

Padres purchased the contract of RHP Tim Stauffer from Triple-A Tucson. Stauffer, who was limited to one start last season due to flexor tendon surgery, had a 3.16 ERA and 38/15 K/BB ratio in 42 2/3 innings over eight starts in Triple-A. It's not clear what his role will be with the Padres, but he's worth stashing away in NL-only fantasy leagues.
