Johnson gives the friar some extra outfield depth after losing Jackson Merrill Lynn On weekends to the list of injuries associated with concussions. Campus is not the third catcher Elias Díaz and Martin Maldonadoso adding another outfielder to the bench makes more sense. Taylor Wade and Brandon Rockridge It may split midfielder representatives, but Johnson added a switched bat to Mike Shildt’s outfield mix.
This will be the second Padres for 29-year-old Johnson. He played in 47 games and showed a career-high 73 set appearance with the Fiancé a year ago. Johnson wasn’t excited at the end of the season and signed a minor league deal with the Pirates. Padres brought him back to a minor league in April in exchange for a deep catcher Brett Sullivan. (There is not much kindness to Sullivan today, who was designated as a mission by Pittsburgh this afternoon.) Johnson spent most of his season in El Paso, where he hit .303/.407/.458 with three home runs and 10 steals. He has no minor league options, though, so they need to bring him back to his roster with a waiver.
Darvish’s IL transfer is just a form. It goes back to the Open House, so it does not affect his eligibility to restore it to its original state. It is not clear when he will be ready to return. According to MLB.com damage tracker, he succeeded with Saturday’s simulation game.
