Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Yasmani Grandal Suspended Yasmani Grandal will begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Tucson. Grandal is still serving his 50-game suspension for a positive PED test, but he is allowed to begin a 10-game minor league assignment. The 24-year-old backstop is eligible to join the Padres on May 28 and may split playing time with Nick Hundley upon his return. May 15

2B	1	Jedd Gyorko
	2	Logan Forsythe D.L. Logan Forsythe (foot) took batting practice on the field Thursday. It's the first time he's done so since plantar fasciitis in his right foot sent him to the DL prior to the season. Forsythe also took ground balls before Thursday's game. "He's on the field doing baseball activities stuff, so he's on the way back," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He's on the mend." The team hasn't revealed a timetable for Forsythe, but he should be ready sometime next month if all goes well. May 16
	3	Alexi Amarista
SS	1	Everth Cabrera
3B	1	Chase Headley
LF	1	Carlos Quentin D.L. Carlos Quentin will return from the paternity leave list Saturday. Quentin missed Thursday's game following the birth of his son and was placed on paternity leave Friday. The Padres will have to make a roster move Saturday in order to bring him back. May 17
	2	Kyle Blanks
CF	1	Cameron Maybin D.L. Cameron Maybin (wrist) hit in the batting cages on Thursday. It's the first time he's done so since he landed on the disabled list last month with a right wrist impingement. The Padres aren't sure what the next step is for the outfielder, but Maybin said the session went "way, way better" than he expected. "I'm excited," Maybin said. "It's tough watching, but it's also been great watching how great the team has been playing. I'm eager to get back in the mix." May 16

S	1	Edinson Volquez
	2	Clayton Richard D.L. Clayton Richard (illness) will make a second rehab start with Triple-A Tucson. Richard struck out eight over six innings of one-run ball Thursday for Tucson, but the Padres want him to have another tune-up. "He feels good about where he is right now, how his arm feels and how he feels physically in general, from the whole bad virus he contracted," manager Bud Black said. Assuming Richard feels fine in his next outing, he could rejoin the rotation as soon as next weekend. May 16
	3	Jason Marquis
	4	Eric Stults
	5	Andrew Cashner
	6	Burch Smith
	7	Cory Luebke D.L. Cory Luebke (elbow) resumed playing catch on April 1. Luebke had a minor setback in early March and was shut down from his throwing program, but he's slowly starting to build up his workload again. He's not sure if the time off will have an impact on his timeline, but the Padres were previously aiming for him to return around midseason. Apr 9
	8	Joe Wieland D.L. Joe Wieland (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday at the Padres' spring training complex. Wieland, currently on the 60-day disabled list, is nine months removed from Tommy John surgery and will continued to be moved along slowly. If he can avoid setbacks, Wieland should be game-ready sometime after the All-Star break. Apr 27
	9	Casey Kelly D.L. Padres placed LHP Casey Kelly on the 60-day disabled list with a left elbow injury. Kelly will undergo Tommy John surgery during the first week of April. Obviously, he won't be making any contribution this season. Mar 31
