Sitting out Wednesday
Fermin is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Reds.
Analysis
Fermin had a three-game home run streak come to an end with a 0-for-5 showing Tuesday, so he'll get a breather for Wednesday's matinee. Rodolfo Duran will do the catching and bat eighth for the Padres.

Blasts another homer Monday
Fermin went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Monday's 6-2 win over the Reds.
Analysis
Fermin opened the scoring, lofting an Andrew Abbott curveball over the left-field wall for a solo homer. After failing to go deep in his first 45 appearances of the season, Fermin has now homered in three consecutive games. The recent power surge is certainly encouraging, though the catcher's overall body of work remains underwhelming. Across 130 plate appearances, the 31-year-old is slashing .161/.250/.286 with eight extra-base hits, 11 RBI and 14 runs scored.

Goes deep again in Sunday's loss
Fermin went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an RBI double in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Mets.
Analysis
Fermin drove in all of the Padres' runs, highlighted by a two-run homer on a center-cut fastball from Sean Manaea in the fifth inning. The backstop has now homered in consecutive games after failing to go deep in his first 45 appearances of the season. Despite hitting a lowly .147 with a .488 OPS in 126 plate appearances, Fermin has continued to operate as San Diego's primary catcher, especially with Luis Campusano (toe) sidelined since May 7.

Hits go-ahead homer
Fermin went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mets.
Analysis
Marcus Semien went yard in the top of the seventh inning to give the Mets a 2-1 lead, but Fermin's two-run blast swung the score back in favor of the Padres in their half of the frame. It's the first homer of the year for Fermin and his first hit of any kind since May 14 in Milwaukee. He's still playing regularly, though Rodolfo Duran has cut into Fermin's time a bit recently while the Padres wait for Luis Campusano (toe) to return. On the year, Fermin is hitting a paltry .133 with a .431 OPS, six RBI, 12 runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases over 122 plate appearances.

Taking seat Friday
Fermin isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.
Analysis
Fermin is still searching for his first hit since May 14, so the Padres will sit him down Friday in favor of Rodolfo Duran while they try to find offensive production from the catcher spot.
