Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Luis Campusano, San Diego Padres catcher, was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left toe fracture after fouling a ball off his foot on May 6, 2026. Despite the injury setback, Campusano has had an outstanding start to the 2026 season, earning Padres Hitter of the Month for April. Through 18 games, he was batting .288 with 3 home runs, 10 RBIs, 5 walks, and a .958 OPS. Manager Craig Stammen indicated the injury could potentially be played through depending on pain tolerance, but the team opted for the IL stint to allow proper healing.
