San Diego Padres Roster Report 2009-04-29


San Diego Padres Roster Report 2009-04-29
Shortly after the Padres signed former A's starter Chad Gaudin to a minor league contract April 12 (after he was released by the Chicago Cubs), Padres general manager Kevin Towers said Gaudin would be in the Padres' rotation "long before the season was over." Gaudin was promoted from Class AAA Portland and made his first big-league appearance of the season April 28, tossing five shutout innings against Colorado.

PLAYER NEWS:

--RHP Duaner Sanchez got a double-play grounder to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning of a scoreless tie Tuesday, and he picked up the win. However, he continues to struggle in his role as the Padres' main setup man. In his last five outings, Sanchez has allowed five runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. He also went eight days between appearances due to forearm soreness.

--LF Chase Headley tied Tuesday's game with a two-out single in the eighth inning. He is now 5-for-10 in runner-in-scoring-position situations while hitting behind 1B Adrian Gonzalez, who is 4-for-17 in runner-in-scoring-position situations.

--LHP Arturo Lopez was promoted from Class AAA Portland on Tuesday, and he becomes the only left-hander in the Padres bullpen. OF Drew Macias was optioned to Portland for the second time this season. Macias had been in the major leagues only two days this time around.

--RHP Cha Seung Baek (strained right forearm) was hit hard Tuesday in his first rehab start. He gave up four runs on five hits in 3 2/3 innings for Class A Lake Elsinore.

MEDICAL WATCH:

RHP Shawn Hill (right elbow inflammation) went on the 15-day disabled list April 25.

RHP Walter Silva (right forearm strain) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 14. Manager Bud Black said he likely would be out longer than the minimum time.

OF Cliff Floyd (inflamed right knee) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 5 with a right shoulder strain. He had recovered from the shoulder injury when the knee problem began.

RHP Cha Seung Baek (strained right forearm) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 30. He threw a bullpen session April 21 and will throw another April 24. He began a rehab assignment with Class A Lake Elsinore on April 28.

INF Everth Cabrera (broken hamate bone in left hand) went on the 60-day disabled list April 20. He had surgery April 21, and he's expected to be out six to eight weeks before beginning an extended rehab assignment.

RHP Mike Adams (right shoulder surgery in October 2008) went on the 15-day disabled list April 2, and he was transferred to the 60-day DL on April 5.

RHP Mark Worrell (Tommy John elbow surgery in March 2009) went on the 15-day disabled list April 2, and he was transferred to the 60-day DL on April 5. He is out for the season.

RHP Mark Prior (right shoulder surgeries in April 2007 and June 2008) was progressing as the Padres broke camp. "If he's healthy, Mark's my ace in the hole," Padres general manager Kevin Towers said. If Prior continues to advance, he could join the Padres in May.
