  • Padres' Jackson Merrill: Wins center field job

    Merrill has won the the Padres' Opening Day center field job, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

    The Padres haven't yet officially added Merrill to their 40-man roster, but the outfielder is part of the Friars' 31-man travel roster for its season-opening series with the Padres this week in Seoul, South Korea and is likely on track to be included in the lineup Wednesday and Thursday. Manager Mike Shildt had previously stopped short of naming Merrill the Friars' everyday center fielder, but the skipper hinted as much before the Padres left the United States for South Korea last week. The 20-year-old primarily played at shortstop between High-A Fort Wayne and Double-A San Antonio and combined for 15 home runs and 15 steals in 114 games between the two stops, but he excelled with the transition to center field this spring in addition to slashing .351/.400/.595 with two home runs and two stolen bases in 13 Cactus League games. The toolsy Merrill's long-term future is bright, but he'll likely hit near the bottom of the lineup to begin his big-league career and could have some growing pains at the majors, at least in the early part of the season.

  • Padres' Jurickson Profar: Returns for exhibition game

    Profar (ankle) went 0-for-2 with a walk while playing six innings in left field Sunday in the Padres' 1-0 win over Team Korea in an exhibition game in Seoul, South Korea.

    Profar was able to make the trip with the Padres to South Korea after he sustained a minor right ankle sprain in the Padres' most recent Cactus League game Wednesday. After getting a few days off to rest, Profar looked to be fine in his return to action Sunday, setting the stage for him to be included in the Opening Day lineup when the Padres and Dodgers open their regular seasons Wednesday in Seoul.

  • Padres' Glenn Otto: Likely to open season on IL

    Otto (shoulder) had a setback early in spring camp and is expected to open the regular season on the injured list, per MLB.com.

    Otto dealt with a shoulder injury last season but was expected to be among the competitors for a rotation spot for San Diego this spring. However, the right-hander suffered a setback early in camp and didn't pitch at all in Cactus League play. Manager Mike Shildt indicated March 9 that Otto is getting closer to playing catch and resuming baseball activity, but even if that happens soon, the hurler won't be ready for game action by the opening of the campaign.

  • Padres' Yuki Matsui: Returns with scoreless frame

    Matsui struck out two batters and allowed one hit in a scoreless inning against Oakland in San Diego's Cactus League finale Wednesday.

    Prior to Wednesday's outing, Matsui had been sidelined from game action since late February due to back inflammation. He resumed throwing in early March and looked good in his return to Cactus League play Wednesday, and he was included on the Padres' 31-man travel roster to Korea for the season-opening set against the Dodgers that begins Wednesday. Per MLB.com, Matsui is expected to be ready for the Seoul Series, though he may be working in a setup role behind presumed closer Robert Suarez.

  • Padres' Jurickson Profar: Travels with team to Korea

    Profar traveled with San Diego on the team's trip to Korea despite dealing with a sprained right ankle, per MLB.com.

    Profar was injured in the Padres' final Cactus League game Wednesday when he pulled up while rounding first base. Manager Mike Shildt indicated after the contest that Profar suffered a mild right ankle sprain but that doctors believed he would be "just fine." Shildt also said that the veteran outfielder would make the trip to Korea for San Diego's season-opening two game set versus the Dodgers, though it remains to be seen if he'll be ready to play by the first contest Wednesday. Profar is slated to open the campaign as the Padres' starting left fielder, but if he's unable to play right away, Jose Azocar could step in as his replacement.
