Garrett Cooper News
On Wednesday, San Diego Padres first baseman Garrett Cooper was 2-for-3 while delivering a run in his team's 4-0 victory over the Marlins. He was the only batter from both teams to secure multiple hits in the contest. In 337 at-bats this season, Cooper has logged a .255 batting average to go along with 14 home runs while driving in 48 runs. Besides playing first base, Cooper will see plenty of action down the stretch as a designated hitter in San Diego's lineup.
San Diego Padres first baseman/designated hitter Garrett Cooper (wrist) suffered a jammed wrist during Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 32-year-old was pinch-hit for by Ben Gamel, who singled and scored a run during his chance in the eighth inning. Cooper was 0-for-1 with a walk before departing. Gamel and Matt Carpenter figure to see more playing time should Cooper need to miss more action. The veteran slugger has provided some pop since joining the Friars with a home run and three doubles in 23 at-bats, but fantasy managers can find better sources of power.
The San Diego Padres acquired first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper and right-hander Sean Reynolds from the Miami Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for left-hander Ryan Weathers. Cooper will give the Padres an upgrade at the designated hitter spot, and he can also spell left-handed-hitting Jake Cronenworth at first base against tough left-handed pitchers. The 32-year-old could split playing time at DH with Ji Man Choi, who was also acquired by the Padres in a trade on Tuesday from the Pittsburgh Pirates. The San Diego lineup will be an upgrade for Cooper, but playing time will be harder to come by in his new home. In 82 games (324 plate appearances) in Miami this year, Cooper was hitting .256/.296/.426 with 13 homers, 11 doubles, a triple, 46 RBI and 28 runs scored.
