Spring Training Updates:
- Matt Waldron Injury: Pitcher Matt Waldron suffered a left oblique injury during spring training. The team is optimistic that the injury was addressed before it became more serious, but it is expected to rule him out of contention for the Opening Day rotation.
- Jake Cronenworth’s Position: The Padres are planning to utilize infielder Jake Cronenworth in a versatile role during the 2025 season, rather than assigning him to a single position.
- Yu Darvish’s Elbow Concern: Pitcher Yu Darvish has been removed from mound duties in spring training due to arm fatigue. His status for Opening Day is uncertain, and the team is closely monitoring his condition.
