Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Wade had started each of the last three games in left field and went 2-for-7 with a triple and three RBI, but he'll give way to Gavin Sheets while Xander Bogaerts gets a day out of the infield and serves as the Padres' designated hitter. Until Jason Heyward (oblique) returns from the injured list, Wade could serve as the Padres' primary option in left field, at least against right-handed pitching.

EDGE Analysis

Though he'll take a seat for the second day in a row while the Pirates send another lefty (Andrew Heaney) to the bump, Wade had gained traction of late in the Padres' everyday lineup against righties. He started in either left or right field in each of the Padres' previous three matchups with righties and could end up holding down a strong-side platoon role until Jason Heyward (oblique) returns from the injured list.

Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wade had started in 15 of the Padres' previous 17 games, with most of his playing time coming in center field. He'll be ticketed for a backup role in the outfield moving forward after the Padres welcomed Jackson Merrill back from the injured list Tuesday, and Wade's opportunities to play in the middle infield will also soon become limited with Jake Cronenworth (rib) on track to be activated this weekend.

EDGE Analysis

San Diego is stocking up on extra right-handed bats to counter southpaw Andrew Heaney, so the lefty-hitting Wade will hit the bench for the second day in a row while Brandon Lockridge gets another start in center field. Both Wade and Lockridge could see their opportunities dwindle during the upcoming week, as Jackson Merrill (hamstring) is on track to return from the 10-day injured list.

Wade is starting in center field and batting eighth against the Cubs on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Wade appears to be San Diego's top option at center field with Jackson Merrill (hamstring) and Brandon Lockridge (hamstring) both on the 10-day injured list. Wade will make his first major-league start of the season Monday after filling in as a defensive substitute twice during the weekend series against the Rockies. The 30-year-old appeared in 90 regular-season games for the Padres in 2024, slashing .217/.285/.239 with eight stolen bases, 28 runs scored and eight RBI across 155 plate appearances.

The Padres selected Wade's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With Jake Cronenworth (rib) headed for the injured list, the Padres will bring Wade back onto their major-league roster in order to make up for lost infield depth. The 30-year-old appeared in 90 games for San Diego last season, slashing .217/.285/.239 with eight RBI across 155 plate appearances and logging eight steals. Matt Waldron (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Wade cleared waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to Triple-A El Paso.

EDGE Analysis

Wade was designated for assignment Thursday after losing his spot on the roster to Jose Iglesias. Wade will get to stick with the Padres organization in their farm system. The 30-year-old made his last appearance in the minors during 2023 for Triple-A Las Vegas after the Athletics designated him for assignment.

The Padres designated Wade for assignment Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Wade turned in a .524 OPS over 90 games with San Diego last season, but the Padres valued him mostly for his ability to play three infield spots and all three outfield positions. His versatility wasn't enough to win him a spot on the Opening Day roster, as Jose Iglesias is capable of providing similar defensive coverage in the infield while bringing a more potent bat to the table.

Wade is not expected to be included on the Padres' Opening Day roster, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wade posted a .524 OPS for the Padres last season and had just a .641 OPS this spring. The utility player is out of minor-league options, so he will have to be traded or go through the waivers process.

Wade went 2-for-3 with a home run, three total RBI and a walk in Friday's Cactus League victory against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Wade plated three of San Diego's five runs, laying down an RBI bunt single in the fourth inning and slugging a two-run shot to right field in the sixth. The first of the two hits was more in line with Wade's skill set, as he ranked in the 85th percentile in sprint speed last year and has just seven home runs over eight big-league regular seasons. Wade has a .205/.279/.333 slash line this spring as he competes for a roster spot as a utility man for the Padres.
