Padres put C Grandal on DL with strained side

Posted July 31, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Yasmani Grandal,  Eddy Rodriguez,  Anthony Bass
TEAMS: San Diego Padres
The Padres have placed catcher Yasmani Grandal on the 15-day disabled list, a day after he strained muscles in his right side on a big swing. San Diego called up catcher Eddy Rodriguez from Class A Lake Elsinore. The 26-year-old Rodriguez hit .223 with 13 homers and 36 RBIs this season. Rodriguez originally was drafted by the Reds in the 20th round in June 2006. Grandal left an 11-5 win over the Reds on Monday night after a swing-and-miss and was treated for a strained oblique muscle. The rookie batted .312 with five doubles, five homers and 15 RBIs in 24 games over two stints with San Diego. San Diego also moved right-hander Anthony Bass to the 60-day DL. He's been sidelined since June 24 with a sore shoulder.

The San Diego Padres didn't make any last-minute moves at the trade deadline, and team officials were comfortable with that. They already had signed two players being targeted by other teams -- left fielder Carlos Quentin and right-handed closer Huston Street -- to multi-year contract extensions, and they set the cost for third baseman Chase Headley so high that clubs stopped...

Buyers and Sellers? Phillies Reportedly Are Interested in 3B Chase Headley of Padres

Of course if they get Olt for Lee they won't need Headley. Headley is a switch-hitter and would help solve the Phillies third base hole. ...

I knew this Padres team was good enough to play spoiler! Okay so yesterday's win wasn't enough to make a dent in the standings, but we did end a 10 game winning streak for the Reds. That's saying something in my book, to come in to Cincinnati and shut the Reds down like that. It was a fun game to watch, but also painful at the same time. There were too many walks all...

One day left till the non-waiver trade deadline. So many grumblings are happening about all sorts of players, and I expect to see a lot of moves to go down today, with a ton more to come at the last second tomorrow.

We have survived another trade deadline. Compared to last season this one was pretty tame. Not a huge amount of big names were traded, although the Phillies did send their outfield to the West Coast. The Padres were quiet all day not trading anyone for the first time since 2008. I like the fact that Byrnes didn't just make a trade to make a trade. This will just set things up...
