First round draft pick Donavan Tate's professional debut will have to wait. He has officially been sidelined until Spring Training 2010 with what was originally described by the Padres as an abdominal strain and now is officially being called a "stress reaction to his pubic bone".
My flies on the wall have said that it is actually a tear of his inguinal ligament and that he tore it in batting practice on his first day as a Padre. It sure seems that Tate came in cold after not swinging a bat for months and just tried to do too much to impress the Padres players and brass.
In other injury news, Mike Adams, the Padres most effective reliever the past 2 months, was placed on the DL with an posterior? strain in his surgically repaired right shoulder.
While the Padres are claiming it is not in the same place as the torn labrum that was repaired surgically last season and caused Adams to miss the end of the 2008 and the first 2 months of the 2009 season, it obviously is related.
I would not expect to see Adams back this year or, if the Padres luck/curse continues, maybe not even the beginning of next year.
If it was not for a late rush/rash of injuries to New York Mets players, the Padres would once again be leading the league in player days on the DL. As it is they will come into the last days of the season neck and neck to set a new major league record for injuries.
If they win/lose the injury race, it will be the 2nd straight season that the Padres have set a major league record in player days on the disabled list.

Another Padres Pitcher Lost to the DL
Wednesday June 17, 2009
With the shoulder injury that forced Luke Gregerson onto the DL, the Padres now have 6 pitchers on the DL.
6 Pitchers on the DL. Most teams don't have 6 PLAYERS on the DL.
In addition to Gregerson, the Padres also have on the DL:
Currently the Padres are on pace for 1140 player days on the dl, or the 2nd most in MLB records. Only their 2008 season's total of 1244 exceeds that number. It means 30% of the team is on the DL on average all season. That is Astounding bad luck!!
And now we find out Chris Young may be headed to the DL as well.
That would leave the Padres with just 4 pitchers who spent significant time on a ML roster in 2008. Corriea, Bell, Adams, and Meredith.
It will also leave the Padres with a starting rotation that consists of Kevin Correia (our new #1), Chad Gaudin, Walter Silva, Wade LeBlanc and Josh Geer (or Ekstrom or Banks).
Does that sound like a AAA rotation? It should. It would be the AAA rotation on any other team in MLB and should be even for the Padres.
Once again, injuries have shattered any hope of a decent season for the Padres.

In addition to Gregerson, the Padres also have on the DL:
- Mark Worrell who is lost for the season,
- Cha Seung Baek who is on the 60 day DL and not expected back this season,
- Shawn Hill was just moved onto the 60 day DL and may not be back this season,
- Luis Perdomo who is on the 15 day DL and due to his Rule V draft status may not be activated until late in the season if at all
- and Jake Peavy who is out until the All Star break at the least and probably until August.

Padres Injury Report - May 1st
Friday May 1, 2009
Should we be screaming Mayday, mayday when it comes to the Padres Injuries to date.
The Padres have SEVEN players on the DL and lead baseball with 143 Player DL days as a team.
Cliff Floyd who has struggled with injuries the past few seasons has not taken an at bat as a Padre yet this season. Now he has suffered through fluid on his right knee the past two weeks. He is currently back in San Diego rehabilitating his injured knee. If all goes well, he could take batting practice on Monday, when the team returns to PETCO Park. If not he could have more surgery on the knee and have his rehab set back at least 4 weeks.
Oft injured pitcher Shawn Hill is also back in San Diego to rehab. No structural damage was found during MRI and stress tests so he may be able to start a minor league rehab assignments in as little as two weeks.
Walter Silva is expected to report to pitch for AAA Portland on Monday to begin his rehab assignment. If all goes well he could be back in a Padres uniform as soon as the middle of the May, probably in a bullpen role.
Cha Seung Baek, who has been on the disabled list with a strained right forearm since March 27th, will make his second Minor League rehab start Sunday with Class A Lake Elsinore and is expected to be ready to rejoin the Padres as soon as May 13th in Chicago.
In other injury news, Mike Adams is progressing ahead of schedule in his rehab and could rejoin the Padres in June.
As reported on this blog earlier, according to Corey Brock of MLB.com, Mark Prior has once again hit a snag in his rehab efforts after feeling soreness in his shoulder after a bullpen session on Thursday. It is not yet know when he will be ready to resume throwing.
Relief pitcher Eulogio "Frankie" De La Cruz has cleared waivers and will report to AAA Portland where he will be given the chance to start. He was designated for assignment on April 27th to make room for Chad Gaudin on the 40-man and 25-man roster.
AAA starter Mike Ekstrom, who was waived to make room on the 40 man roster for Arturo Lopez, has cleared waivers. He will likely be assigned to AAA Portland.
That is today's Padres Injury Report.

Padres Injury Report Part Deux
Sunday April 26,2009
The injuries to the already shaky San Diego Padres pitching staff continue to mount.
Padres starting pitcher Shawn Hill injured the elbow and bicep of his throwing arm in Saturdays game and left the game after the 2nd inning.
The oft injured Hill was placed on the disabled list today. This is the 7th trip to the DL since 2004 for Hill who missed the entire 2005 season following Tommy John surgery.
This is the 3rd starter and 5th pitcher that has been placed on the DL since the last week of spring training. Over all the Padres have 7 players on the DL as of today.
Reliver Mike Adams was placed on the 60 day DL on March 27th after suffering an injury at the end of 2008 and undergoing off season surgery.
Reliever Mark Worrell lost his 2009 season to an elbow injury that will require Tommy John surgery.
Cha Seung Baek had tightness in his forearm and elbow and has been on the DL since the start of the season.
Walter Silva left his 2nd start of the season with tightness in his forearm and was placed on the DL.
To add insult to injury, set up man Duaner Sanchez has been sidelined since April 18th with a strained forearm and he may join Hill and company on the DL on Monday if the Padres are not seeing improvement.
Last year MLB record injuries doomed the Padres 2008 season. Are we starting to see more of the same in 2009?
There are more question marks regarding the Padres pitching staff now than at the start of the season.
Will the ineffective Jake Peavy be the next Padres pitcher to succumb to injuries? Will Chad Gaudin or Baek be back soon enough to fill Hill's slot in the rotation?
If not who will be called up?
Geer pitched 4 innings on Saturday even though he was scheduled to pitch Tuesday. Who will be the starting pitcher on Tuesday?
Time will tell. I have had my say. Now what do you think?

Saturday April 25, 2009
Here is Injury Report on some of the Padres players currently on the DL.
Cha Seung Baek threw a bullpen session today and looked good. He is scheduled to start a minor league rehab assignment on Monday.
Walter Silva had the first of 4 bullpen sessions today according to Chris Jenkins of the San Diego Union Tribune and is expected to be a week to 10 days away from starting a minor league rehab assignment.
Cliff Floyd had an MRI on Thursday and the news is not encouraging. He had been expected to start a rehab assignment in Lake Elsinore on Friday and now that has been put on hold indefinitely.
Reliever Mike Adams has begun throwing off the mound and looks to be on track for a mid to late June return to the Padres.
Mark Prior has also begun throwing off the mound and may begin a rehab assignment as soon as the beginning of May.
In related news, Starter Chad Gaudin saw his 2nd action of the season in Portland and he looked outstanding going 5 innings and only allowing 2 hits and no runs with no walks and 7 SO. He is on track to make his first start of the season for the Padres on May 12th or 13th at the Cubs.
