The San Diego Padres' recent move to option Luis Campusano has opened the door for a better opportunity for veteran catcher Elias Díaz as the postseason nears.

With Campusano gone, outfielder Brandon Lockridge has been recalled, presenting him a chance to showcase his skills ahead of a potential playoff roster spot, despite lacking major league experience.

Also mentioned is Johnson, who has seen some big league action, but both players may depend on injuries among the team’s top outfielders for a chance to play.
