Injuries & Moves: Vásquez and Gillaspie recalled from Triple-A
LATEST NEWS
June 1: RHPs Yu Darvish (left groin strain) and Joe Musgrove (right elbow inflammation) placed on 15-day IL; RHPs Randy Vásquez and Logan Gillaspie recalled from Triple-A El Paso
Darvish left his start against the Marlins on Wednesday after three innings (66 pitches) and stayed in San Diego for treatment. His IL move was made retroactive to Thursday. Musgrove -- who spent time on the IL in May with the same injury -- was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday against the Royals and placed on the IL retroactive to Wednesday. Padres manager Mike Shildt said the club doesn't believe it is a structural issue.
Musgrove was replaced by Vásquez, who went 0-3 with a 5.82 ERA over five starts in two earlier stints with the Padres this season. Gillaspie has spent parts of three seasons in the Majors and made two appearances with San Diego this season, pitching 2 2/3 scoreless innings.
10-DAY/15-DAY INJURED LIST
RHP Yu Darvish (left groin strain)
Expected return: TBD
Darvish pitched three innings against the Marlins on May 29 before exiting with what was described at the time as left hamstring tightness. The Padres want to be cautious with Darvish and will give him more time to receive treatment while the club evaluates the strain, which is now said to be more of a groin issue than a hamstring issue.
The club will decide in the coming days whether Darvish will need to miss more than that one start. He was placed on the IL on June 1, retroactive to May 30. (Last updated: June 1)
RHP Joe Musgrove (right elbow inflammation)
Expected return: TBD
Musgrove was scratched from his scheduled start on June 1 against the Royals and placed on the IL retroactive to May 29. Musgrove spent more than two weeks on the injured list in May with the same injury, but he pitched well in his most recent start on May 26, going 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball against the Yankees.

2B Xander Bogaerts (left shoulder fracture)
Expected return: TBD
Bogaerts suffered a left shoulder fracture on May 20 in Atlanta when he dived to stop a Ronald Acuña Jr. grounder to his left side and awkwardly rolled on his left arm. The team has not given a timetable for Bogaerts' return, though he noted that the injury wouldn't require surgery. Bogaerts also said the fracture would need to heal fully before he can begin his buildup toward a return. Neither Bogaerts nor the Padres offered an estimation as to when that might be.

IF/OF Tucupita Marcano (surgery for torn right ACL)
Expected return: First half
Marcano has begun taking ground balls as he progresses in his rehab from a torn ACL. The 24-year-old utilityman had surgery last August after injuring his knee while playing for the Pirates against the Padres on July 24. He does not yet have a set date to return to game action but will continue ramping up his baseball activity. (Last updated: April 12)
RHP Glenn Otto (right shoulder teres major strain)
Expected return: First half
After dealing with shoulder trouble last season, Otto suffered a setback during the early stages of camp, and he's yet to pitch in Cactus League games. On March 9, manager Mike Shildt offered some clarity, noting that Otto is still in the rehab stage of his recovery, though he added that Otto is getting "closer to playing catch and baseball activity." The Padres claimed Otto off waivers from the Rangers last September. He was expected to be part of their rotation competition, but instead he opened the year on the injured list.

60-DAY INJURED LIST
RHP Luis Patiño (right elbow inflammation)
Expected return: 2025
Patiño underwent Tommy John surgery on April 30, putting an end to his 2024 season before it began. The 24-year-old made two appearances in Spring Training before opening the season on the IL. The Padres, who originally signed Patiño as an amateur free agent before dealing him to Tampa Bay in the 2020 Blake Snell trade, claimed Patiño off waivers from the White Sox in December.
