The San Diego Padres have placed Lucas Giolito on the injured list with an elbow injury. The right-hander is sidelined as San Diego navigates the second half of its 2026 campaign.
In seven appearances this season, including five starts, Giolito posted a 2-3 record with a 5.16 ERA over 29.2 innings pitched. He struck out 18 batters while issuing 23 walks, carrying a 1.85 WHIP for the Padres.
San Diego enters this stretch at 41-37, sitting second in the NL West, nine games back of the division leader. The Padres have won two straight and carry a roster of 14 pitchers, meaning the loss of Giolito will put added pressure on the remaining staff. The club currently carries five catchers, outfielders, and infielders combined across those positional groups.
