Campusano had X-rays on his jammed thumb come back negative Sunday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old apparently suffered the injury a couple days ago while catching a bullpen session, and he's dealing with some significant swelling. It's unclear if Campusano will require a trip to the injured list, but Brett Sullivan has joined the club to potentially serve as catching depth.

Campusano went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday in a loss to Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
The Padres fell behind early and never came close to catching up, but Campusano provided a small spark with his solo homer to left field in the fifth inning. The long ball was the first of the season for the 24-year-old, who is working in a backup role behind Austin Nola. Campusano is slashing .238/.227/.429 through 22 plate appearances.

Campusano is not in the lineup Thursday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano has out-hit Austin Nola in the early going and should be able to carve out more playing time if that continues, but Nola is starting at catcher and batting ninth for the Padres in this one. Campusano is expected to catch Friday and Sunday versus Milwaukee.

Campusano went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs in Tuesday's 4-2 win against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano came into the contest having gone 1-for-11 on the campaign, and the first three-hit game of his career boosted his season average all the way up to .267. The trio of base knocks didn't come cheaply, as all three left Campusano's bat at least 98.5 mph, per Dennis Lin of The Athletic. Austin Nola has been the clear No. 1 option behind the plate for San Diego this season with eight starts through the team's first 12 games, and he's back in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale. However, Nola is slashing a meager .115/.207/.115 thus far in 2023, so Campusano could start to see more opportunities if the former's offense doesn't pick up.

Campusano leads San Diego with three home runs in Cactus League play, and he's slashing .231/.333/.654 with a 4:6 BB:K over 31 plate appearances.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano has only two homers through his first 85 big-league at-bats, but he went deep 14 times in 319 bats in Triple-A last season after hitting 15 long balls each of the previous two full minor-league seasons. Austin Nola (nose) projects to be the Padres' primary catcher to begin the campaign, but Campusano should be his backup and could push for more playing time if he swings the bat well.

Campusano (hamstring) is scheduled to return to the Padres' Cactus League lineup Wednesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano hasn't played in several days because of a hamstring injury, but it sounds like he's almost ready to go. The 24-year-old is competing with Austin Nola for playing time at catcher for San Diego this season. Campusano has hit very well in the minors but has yet to see that production carry over during his brief time in the majors.

Campusano went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a 2-0 win against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano made the most of a rare start behind the plate, swatting a solo homer off Zac Gallen in the fourth inning for one of two Padres runs in the contest. The long ball was his first this season and his second over 23 career games. Campusano has shown good pop in the minors, but he's clearly behind Austin Nola and Jorge Alfaro on San Diego's catcher depth chart for the time being.

Campusano was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano has been in the minors since the start of May but will rejoin the active roster to provide depth behind primary catcher Austin Nola after Jorge Alfaro (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Campusano hit .083 with a run, an RBI and two strikeouts over four big-league games earlier in the year.

Campusano was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano spent a week with the major-league club, and he went 1-for-12 with a run, an RBI and two strikeouts over four games. He'll likely see more consistent playing time in the minors and should be one of the top candidates for a call-up if the Padres need catching depth.

Campusano was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Campusano has spent the first couple weeks of the season at the Triple-A level, where he's hit .359/.375/.487 through nine games. The 23-year-old will now join the big club with Luke Voit (biceps) heading to the injured list. Campusano should see infrequent opportunities since catchers Austin Nola and Jorge Alfaro remain healthy.
