The Padres are considering Song Sung Mun, with the possibility of him getting more at-bats. This comes amidst injury concerns and potential roster changes.
Opportunity for Song Sung Mun
There is hope that Song Sung Mun plays every game during his call-up. The aim is to evaluate him over a series of 5-6 games. He could potentially take all of Nick Castellanos’ at-bats for a week, and even for the rest of the year if his performance is strong.
Cronenworth on IL, Other Injury Issues
Jake Cronenworth has been placed on the IL. This injury at least opens the possibility of a return to form. Another player was hit on the foot.
There was also a concussion.
Potential Roster Moves
There’s a desire to get rid of Nick Castellanos. Miranda or Solak could be brought up as replacements. Some think Nick’s days are numbered.
Bowen’s Development
Johnson should go and Bowen should be brought up. Bowen isn’t exactly tearing up the PCL. He needs to be batting every day and hitting more before becoming the 26 man on the MLB squad.
Solak is doing better but still, the every day ABs comes into play.
Luis Arraez has an OAA ranking of 1.
