San Diego Padres news, rumors and injuriesSun, 19 May 2013 20:15:58 -0700 San Diego Padres C Yasmani Grandal returned to game action Saturday, May 18, for Triple-A Tucson, catching nine innings. He went 2-for-4 with a run scored and RBI. He is allowed to play 10 minor league games before he is eligible to return from his 50-game suspension and play for the Padres May 28. Fantasy Tip: Grandal is expected to split time behind the dish with Nick Hundley when he returns, and manager Bud Black has said he will go with the hot hand. Grandal is worth adding in all NL-only fantasy leagues, and is decent depth in mixed formats in leagues which require two starting backstops. Share: Padres | Cameron Maybin might begin rehab soon Sun, 19 May 2013 20:15:16 -0700 San Diego Padres OF Cameron Maybin (wrist) might be headed out on a minor-league rehab assignment as soon as Friday, May 24, if he responds well to swinging the bat this week. He is expected to hit in the batting cage on the field Monday, May 20, through Wednesday, May 22, to test the injury. Share: Padres | Carlos Quentin activated Sat, 18 May 2013 14:43:23 -0700 The San Diego Padres have activated OF Carlos Quentin from paternity leave. In a corresponding move, the team optioned RP Brad Brach to Triple-A Tucson. Share: Padres | Clayton Richard rehab update Sat, 18 May 2013 11:40:50 -0700 San Diego Padres SP Clayton Richard (illness) allowed one run over six innings in his most recent rehab start for Triple-A Tucson. He is scheduled to make one more rehab start before being activated from the disabled list. Share: Padres | Carlos Quentin to return Saturday Fri, 17 May 2013 19:06:10 -0700 Updating a previous report, the San Diego Padres will activate OF Carlos Quentin (personal) from the paternity leave list Saturday, May 18. Share: Padres | Carlos Quentin on paternity list Fri, 17 May 2013 14:31:46 -0700 The San Diego Padres placed OF Carlos Quentin on the paternity list Friday, May 17, and recalled SP Tim Stauffer from Triple-A Tucson. Also, RP Thad Weber was designated for assignment. Share: Padres | Not looking to trade Chase Headley Fri, 17 May 2013 13:59:01 -0700 People with ties to the San Diego Padres are saying that it's "unlikely" that the team looks to seriously trade 3B Chase Headley this summer despite the fact that Headley isn't interested in discussing a contract extension until after the season. The Padres are believed to be seeking a five-year deal worth around $100 million, but their talks with Headley didn't get very far last winter. Headley will become a free agent after the 2014 season. The Cleveland Indians, Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks had been interested in Headley in the past. Fantasy Tip: Teams will try to pry Headley away from SD this summer, you can be sure of that. However, the Padres prefer to keep Headley in the fold, so it'll take an offer that they can't refuse in order to give him up. This could get interesting. Share: Padres | Logan Forsythe does some activities Thu, 16 May 2013 18:56:25 -0700 San Diego Padres 2B Logan Forsythe (foot) took batting practice and fielded ground balls Thursday, May 16. Share: Padres | Cameron Maybin hits in cage Thu, 16 May 2013 18:51:38 -0700 San Diego Padres OF Cameron Maybin (wrist) hit in a batting cage Thursday, May 16, and is scheduled to do it again Friday, May 17. Share: Padres | Logan Forsythe not ready for baseball activities Wed, 15 May 2013 15:31:34 -0700 San Diego Padres 2B Logan Forsythe (foot), who is eligible to come off the 60-day disabled list May 22, will not start with baseball activities this week. Fantasy Tip: Forsythe lost his chance to make a real impact in the infield for the Padres to open the season with Chase Headley out. Now, Headley is back and Jedd Gyorko has dug in at second base. Alexi Amarista has been effective as a super utility man, too, so Forsythe doesn't really have any spot to make a fantasy impact in. Share: Padres | Tyson Ross headed back to rotation Wed, 15 May 2013 15:11:10 -0700 San Diego Padres SP Tyson Ross (shoulder), who missed 14 games with a subluxation of his left shoulder, will continue pitching out of the bullpen until he's healthy enough to swing a bat again. Once he can, he'll jump back into the starting rotation. "We still see him as a starting pitcher," said manager Bud Black. "But that will be left shoulder-related and whether he's physically able to do that. Right now, his strength is improving. In due time, he has to get in a cage." Fantasy Tip: Ross has struggled with command in his career, but late last season he showed ground-ball rates that gave optimism for his future. A move to SD made him even more intriguing. Clayton Richard (illness) will return to the rotation soon, so it's unknown who exactly Ross would replace in the starting five when he's healthy. Jason Marquis or Eric Stults might be in jeopardy if they aren't pitching well by then. Share: Padres | Andrew Cashner changing approach Wed, 15 May 2013 14:58:02 -0700 San Diego Padres SP Andrew Cashner needed only 77 pitches to get through seven innings against the Baltimore Orioles Tuesday, May 14, and he's not trying to throw as hard so that he can last deeper into games. It was his second straight start that he has gotten 22 outs. Cashner is averaging 95 mph on his fastball this year, which is down from 98 mph from last year. He's also using his two-seamer and knuckle-slider more often, which creates more of a speed difference with his changeup. Cashner's changeup is also a bit slower this year, down to 85.7 mph from 87.4 mph last season. Cashner has given up an earned run and nine hits while walking four in 14 2/3 innings in his last two starts. However, his strikeouts per nine innings are down from 10.10 last year to 6.39 this year. Fantasy Tip: A planned dip in velocity is bound to mean less strikeouts for Cashner. His permanent move to the rotation was expected to have this result eventually, though. The good news is that this transition should allow Cashner to pitch deeper into games and become more efficient. The fact that he pitches at PETCO Park makes him even more intriguing in mixed formats. It may be time to hop on. Share: Padres | Yasmani Grandal to begin playing in games Wed, 15 May 2013 14:49:11 -0700 San Diego Padres C Yasmani Grandal will leave extended spring training and report to Triple-A Tucson Saturday, May 18, and he's eligible to come off the restricted list May 28 after being suspended for the first 50 games of the season. "He feels good, everything is solid, offensively and defensively," general manager Josh Byrnes said recently. "We will get him ready to play in those games and evaluate where he is and where our roster is." C John Baker is hitting only .115 and will likely be optioned to the minors to make room for Grandal. Fantasy Tip: Grandal looked good in his major league audition last year, but the PED suspension makes us question how much of his production was actually real. It's unclear how much time he'll split with Nick Hundley, too. It's time to snatch him up in NL-only leagues if he's out there, but you can probably wait on him in mixed formats. Share: Padres | Fautino De Los Santos released Wed, 15 May 2013 12:50:26 -0700 The San Diego Padres released RP Fautino De Los Santos Tuesday, May 14. Share: Padres | Yasmani Grandal nearing return Wed, 15 May 2013 10:33:50 -0700 San Diego Padres C Yasmani Grandal will join Triple-A Tucson on Saturday, May 18, to begin the permissible 10-day rehab assignment before his 50-game suspension for a positive test for performance-enhancing substance ends on May 28. Fantasy Tip: Grandal posted a .297/.394/.469 slash line in 60 games for the Pads in 2012, but there has to be some doubt about how he'll perform once he returns given the numbers of others after they've been popped. Nick Hundley (.259/.314/.426) has been adequate, as well, not to mention vocal about his feelings regarding Grandal's possible impact on his job. This should be interesting. Grandal warrants ownership in deep leagues, still, because he's young and presumably still quite talented. Share:  |
