Padres Notes: Pitcher Placed on IL, Xander Bogaerts Injury, Cy Young Winner Trade to SD?

The San Diego Padres held on to beat the Washington Nationals, 1-0, on Wednesday to take the series. They improved to 44-36 thanks to seven scoreless innings and 10 strikeouts from Nick Pivetta.

Ahead of the eventual victory, the Friars placed a rookie pitcher on the injured list. The move comes one day after the right-hander was drilled by a line drive in the fourth inning, leading to his early exit from the contest.

Additionally, Xander Bogaerts was a late scratch from Wednesday's game. The veteran is dealing with left shoulder soreness.

Finally, the Padres have been named a top landing spot for a Cy Young winner from a key National League rival. The southpaw would bring so much to an already immensely talented rotation down the stretch.
