SEATTLE -- With three hits on Sunday against the Brewers, Padres outfielder Will Venable surpassed his father, Max, with 339 career hits.

SEATTLE -- Carlos Quentin had the distinction of being the Padres' first designated hitter this season. Chances are, it will happen more often than not this week.

SEATTLE -- Three hours before Tuesday's game against the Mariners, a group of Padres relievers as well as bullpen catchers Griffin Benedict and Justin Hatcher and starting catcher Nick Hundley huddled for a quick video shoot to wish bullpen coach Darrel Akerfelds a happy 50th birthday.

Shortstop Everth Cabrera rejoined the Padres on Tuesday after his trial in Phoenix was canceled on Monday.

According to UT San Diego, prosecutors dismissed the case, which allowed for him to return to the team without missing any games. San Diego was off on Monday after flying late Sunday to Seattle from Milwaukee.

The trial was set for Monday to accommodate the Padres' off-day. Cabrera was charged with misdemeanor assault upon his wife, stemming from a March 16 incident in Glendale, Ariz.
