Latest news

  • Hays went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-4 win over Arizona.

    Hays picked up a pair of singles, with his eighth-inning knock scoring two runs. Since joining San Diego in early August, the veteran has slashed .316/.344/.456 with two homers, eight RBI and 13 runs in 26 games. While he drew the start against right-handed starter Michael Soroka on Sunday, Hays is likely to be relegated to a short-side platoon role in the postseason.

  • Hays went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Rockies.

    This was Hays' third multi-hit effort in a row, though it comes over the span of a week as he continues to work in a part-time role. The outfielder ended an 18-game power drought when he went deep in the fifth inning. Hays is batting .270 with a .694 OPS, three homers, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored, three doubles and no stolen bases over 93 plate appearances between the Padres and the White Sox this year.

  • Fantasy baseball lineup advice for Tuesday: High-risk, high-reward pitcher picks

    Everything you need to know to set your fantasy baseball lineups for Tuesday's MLB action.

  • Hays went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Astros.

    Hays signed with the Padres earlier Sunday. He didn't get the start, but he delivered a two-run shot while pinch hitting for Gavin Sheets in the eighth inning. Hays is likely to fill a short-side platoon role in the outfield during his time with the Padres. He is batting .250 with a .676 OPS, two homers, nine RBI, four runs scored, one double and no stolen bases over 13 games between the Padres and the White Sox this season, and he had a .779 OPS over 20 games with Triple-A Charlotte before the White Sox released him.

  • Hays agreed to a one-year contract with the Padres on Sunday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    After the White Sox activated Hays from the 60-day injured list and designated him for assignment Wednesday, he ended up hitting the open market a few days later upon clearing waivers. The Padres will end up bringing Hays aboard on a low-cost deal with the hope that the 31-year-old can fill the short side of a platoon in the corner outfield, and he could even push into an everyday role if he gets hot at the plate to begin his time in the organization. Hays generated a lowly .576 OPS over 44 plate appearances with the White Sox this season but was productive during a recent 11-game rehab stint at Triple-A Charlotte, slashing .279/.289/.605.

  • The White Sox released Hays on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Hays was DFA'd by Chicago on Wednesday and will now be free to look for an opportunity elsewhere after he slashed .233/.250/.326 with one homer, seven RBI, three runs scored and a 1:13 BB:K across 44 plate appearances this season. Since the beginning of the 2025 season, Hays has a .914 OPS against left-handed pitching.
