Campusano went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano has been productive in September, going 11-for-32 (.344) with 10 RBI over 10 contests. The catcher has seen an increased role since Gary Sanchez suffered a season-ending wrist fracture last week. Campusano is up to six homers, 24 RBI, 22 runs scored and a .305/.343/.481 slash line through 41 games this season, and he should see a majority of the workload behind the dish for the remainder of the campaign.

EDGE Analysis
Campusano will get a breather Tuesday after going 9-for-28 with seven RBI and four runs scored across nine games since the beginning of September. Brett Sullivan will take over behind the dish and bat eighth.

Campusano went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Tuesday's 8-0 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano sat out to begin Monday's game and went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter in that contest after sustaining a groin injury Sunday. He was able to get back behind the dish Tuesday, playing the full game at catcher while delivering his first game with multiple RBI since Aug. 7. The 24-year-old backstop has impressed in limited action this year with a .309/.347/.491 slash line, five home runs, 18 RBI, 18 runs scored and five doubles over 118 plate appearances.

Campusano (groin) is back in the lineup Tuesday versus the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano took a foul tip to a sensitive area in Sunday's series finale against the Giants, but he appeared as a pinch hitter in Monday's series opener versus Philly and will start behind the plate and bat sixth for the host Padres on Tuesday night at Petco Park.

Campusano is available off the bench Monday against the Phillies after getting hurt on a foul tip Sunday against the Giants, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano got hit in the groin area and ended up going to the hospital to get an ultrasound Sunday, so it sounds like he was in quite a bit of pain. Gary Sanchez is starting behind the dish Monday.

Campusano went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano extended San Diego's lead to two runs with his solo shot in the sixth inning, though the team was unable to hang on for the win. The backstop had been struggling since his two-homer performance Aug. 7, going 4-for-23 with no home runs in nine subsequent contests prior to Tuesday. Campusano caught all 10 innings Tuesday but will remain in the lineup for Wednesday's early game, as he's starting behind the plate and batting eighth in the series finale against the Cardinals.

Campusano went 4-for-4 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in Monday's 13-7 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano's massive game included a two-run bomb in the third inning, a run-scoring single in the sixth and a solo shot in the ninth. The 24-year-old backstop is now slashing .354/.412/.521 across 51 plate appearances since returning from the injured list July 19. While Gary Sanchez seems to be San Diego's preferred option at catcher, Campusano's hot bat could change that.

Campusano is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano had started seven of the last eight games while frequently being included in the lineup alongside Gary Sanchez, with one serving as the designated hitter while the other handled catching duties. However, with the Padres bringing in Garrett Cooper and Ji-Man Choi at the trade deadline, opportunities for both Campusano and Sanchez to occupy the DH spot will likely become more scarce moving forward. The two will now have to fight for playing time behind the dish, with Sanchez getting the nod Wednesday.

Campusano will start at designated hitter and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
After calling up Brett Sullivan from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday to provide the team with a third catcher, the Padres look set to include both Campusano and Gary Sanchez in the lineup simultaneously on a more frequent basis, with one starting at designated hitter and the other starting behind the plate. Campusano will pick up his sixth consecutive start Sunday, while Sanchez sticks in the lineup for a fifth straight game.

Campusano is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano will head to the bench for the series finale after he started behind the plate three of the past four games while going 5-for-15 with a home run, four RBI and two additional runs during that stretch. Now that he's healthy again after missing just over two months while recovering from thumb surgery, Campusano could end up displacing Gary Sanchez as the Friars' preferred option behind the plate. Sanchez has slugged nine home runs since joining the Padres in late May, but he's batting a woeful .193 in 42 games with the club.
