Padres manager Bud Black said Tyson Ross will rejoin the rotation once his left shoulder is healed.
Ross is obviously healthy enough to pitch, but his left shoulder subluxation leaves him unable to swing a bat, meaning he can only pitch in relief for now. There's no timetable for when he'll be ready to swing again. "We still see him as a starting pitcher," said Black. "But that will be left shoulder related and whether he's physically able to do that. Right now, his strength is improving. In due time, he has to get in a cage." May 15 - 6:59 PM

Padres activated RHP Tyson Ross from the 15-day disabled list.

Ross posted a 1.71 WHIP and 12/10 K/BB ratio over 14 innings before a left shoulder subluxation sent him to the DL. The Padres will use him in relief for now, as Ross is unable to swing a bat. With a couple off days, the club will use four starters over the next week.

Tyson Ross (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tucson this week.

Out with a left shoulder subluxation, it's not clear how many rehab starts Ross will need before being activated. He's not a given to be re-inserted into the rotation when ready.
Apr 28 - 2:32 PM

Padres placed RHP Tyson Ross on the disabled list with a left shoulder subluxation.

"Subluxation" is a formal way of saying he has been diagnosed with a partial dislocation of his left shoulder. Ross suffered the injury taking a swing during the Padres' game against the Dodgers on Wednesday. It's to his non-throwing shoulder, so it shouldn't affect his pitching when he's able to return.
Apr 20 - 6:41 PM

Tyson Ross (shoulder) remains at risk of missing Tuesday's scheduled start against the Brewers due to a subluxation in his left shoulder.

Ross still maintains that he'll be able to give it a go, but manager Bud Black is proceeding with caution. While he has improved in recent days, they don't want to risk him doing further damage if he isn't feeling percent.
Apr 20 - 12:05 AM

Tyson Ross (shoulder) indicated Friday that while he's still sore, he intends to make his scheduled start against the Brewers on Tuesday.

Padres manager Bud Black isn't quite as confident, listing Ross as questionable. Through his first three starts, Ross has posted a 3.86 ERA, but a very troubling 1.71 WHIP and 12/10 K/BB ratio over 14 innings.
Apr 19 - 9:01 PM

Tyson Ross was removed after allowing one run in 4 2/3 innings Wednesday against the Dodgers.

The Padres were up 4-1 at the time, but they pulled the plug on Ross after he sandwiched a single in between two walks in the fifth. After three starts, Ross has a decent enough 3.86 ERA, but he's pitched just 14 innings. If he can't start working deeper into the games, he'll probably end up in the pen.
Apr 18 - 1:57 AM

Tyson Ross yielded three runs in 5 1/3 innings and struck out eight Friday in a no-decision against the Rockies.

Ross has a great fastball, but command and consistency are annual problems for him. In two starts for the Padres, he's walked seven in 9 1/3 innings. The Padres may decide to shift him to the bullpen if he can't work deeper into games.
Apr 13 - 1:38 AM

Tyson Ross is expected to be named the Padres' No. 5 starter over Andrew Cashner.

Cashner is still expected to make the Opening Day roster, but he'll be used out of the bullpen initially. Ross has walked 10 over 21 innings this spring, but he's also struck out 19 while posting a 2.57 ERA. He has some NL-only appeal with his favorable home park.
Mar 28 - 6:30 PM

Tyson Ross turned in another solid spring outing on Friday, allowing one run on four hits and a pair of walks over his 4 2/3 innings of work.

The lone run came on a solo shot by Kelly Shoppach in the fifth inning, and was the first run allowed by Ross all spring. He walked one and struck out six on the evening. He had been scheduled to go six innings in the contest, but due to inefficiency with his pitches, was removed in the fifth inning when his pitch count hit 94. He’s put himself in strong consideration for one of the fifth spot in the Padres’ Opening Day rotation, and is certainly worth a look in deeper mixed leagues.
Mar 23 - 1:03 AM

MLB.com's Corey Brock believes Tyson Ross could be the favorite to open the season as the Padres' No. 5 starter.

Ross hasn't allowed a run in his last 11 1/3 innings this spring and boasts a 2.76 ERA with 13 strikeouts over 16 1/3 frames overall. He'll get a chance to state his case again on Friday, when he's scheduled to go six innings..
Mar 20 - 7:37 PM

Tyson Ross continued his strong spring Saturday, pitching 5 1/3 scoreless innings in the Padres 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

Ross is battling for a spot in the Padres rotation, and turns like Saturday improve his chances of breaking camp with a starting role. Ross now has a 2.76 ERA on the spring. The 25-year-old, whose brother, Joe, is also part of the Padres organization, started 13 games for the A's last season, so he's no stranger to the rotation.
Mar 16 - 7:36 PM

Tyson Ross was tagged for three runs over three innings in a loss to the Royals on Thursday.

Ross gave up four hits while striking out one and walking one. He has allowed five runs over five innings of work so far this spring, which isn't the best way for him to win a rotation spot. Still, he's intriguing enough to monitor in NL-only formats.
Feb 28 - 6:43 PM

Padres acquired RHP Tyson Ross and 1B A.J. Kirby-Jones from the Athletics in exchange for LHP Andrew Werner and INF Andy Parrino.

Ross has a pretty big arm, but he struggled to remain healthy for the A's and posted a 6.50 ERA over 73 1/3 innings for them in 2012. It's not clear at this point whether the Padres plan to use him as a starter or reliever. Kirby-Jones is an undersized first baseman who isn't much of a prospect. Werner will give the A's some rotation depth but is more of a swingman, while Parrino should be able to win a utility job in Oakland.

Athletics recalled RHP Tyson Ross from Triple-A Sacramento.

Ross will pitch out of the A's bullpen down the stretch. He has a 6.45 ERA this year in 68 1/3 major league innings.
