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 - 10:09 PM

Logan Forsythe (foot) will not begin baseball activities this week.

Forsythe started jogging a week ago, but evidently he's still not progressing well enough to incorporate baseball activities. The infielder has been on the disabled list all season with plantar fasciitis in his right foot and it sounds like he'll sidelined into June.
May 15 - 7:07 PM

Logan Forsythe (foot) will try jogging Wednesday for the first time since landing on the disabled list.

Forsythe has removed the protective boot on his right foot and is ready to test his plantar fasciitis injury. The infielder has been on the DL all season and has been limited to playing catch and taking swings in the indoor batting cage using only his upper body. If Wednesday's jogging goes well, he'll ramp up his activities next week.
May 7 - 10:27 PM

Padres transferred INF Logan Forsythe from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

The move doesn't change his projected timetable, as it's retroactive to March 22 and he won't be ready before late May anyway. Forsythe had the protective boot on his right foot removed Wednesday, but he's still a couple weeks away from a rehab assignment.

Logan Forsythe will have the protective boot on his right foot removed on Wednesday.

Forsythe is a little behind in his recovery from a plantar fasciitis injury, as the boot was supposed to be removed last Wednesday. He's still a ways away from a return, as it will be two weeks after the boot is removed before he's allowed to start a rehab assignment, an assignment that could last over a week. It sounds like a best-case scenario will have him returning in mid-May.

Logan Forsythe will keep the protective boot on his right foot on for one more week.

Forsythe has been wearing the boot since March 27, when he aggravated the plantar fasciitis in his foot. There's no timetable for when the infielder will return to action. "We have to exhibit a lot of patience with this one," cautioned Padres manager Bud Black.
Apr 9 - 7:53 PM

Padres placed INF Logan Forsythe on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 27, with plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

Forsythe is expected to be sidelined for at least the first six weeks of the season. Chase Headley will beat him back from the disabled list, so Forsythe probably won't have a starting job once he's healthy as long as Jedd Gyorko is performing.
Mar 31 - 1:18 PM

Padres manager Bud Black said Thursday in camp that Logan Forsythe (foot) will be out at least six weeks.

That places his return timetable around mid-May. Forsythe has battled plantar fasciitis throughout this spring and had a painful flare-up on Tuesday. He will be in a protective walking boot for the next three weeks. The Padres are still deciding how to cover the early-season absences of both Forsythe and Chase Headley.
Mar 28 - 1:28 PM

Logan Forsythe is expected to begin the season on the disabled list after the plantar fasciitis in his right foot flared up Tuesday.

MLB.com's Corey Brock tweeted that Forsythe "was in a lot of pain," while manager Bud Black said the infielder's foot "got worse the more he was on it." With both Chase Headley and Forsythe out of the picture, the Padres are likely to start Jedd Gyorko at third base and Alexi Amarista at second base on Opening Day.
Mar 26 - 7:19 PM

Logan Forsythe (foot) is in Tuesday's Cactus League lineup.

Forsythe hasn't played in a Cactus League came since March 7 due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. However, barring any setbacks, he should get most of the playing time at third base while Chase Headley (thumb) is sidelined.
Mar 26 - 12:14 PM

Logan Forsythe (foot) expects to be ready for Opening Day.

Forsythe has been bothered by plantar fasciitis in his right foot for the past couple of weeks, but it's a manageable thing. He will get the majority of playing time at third base while Chase Headley (thumb) is out.
Mar 25 - 11:44 AM

Padres manager Bud Black said Friday that Logan Forsythe (foot) beginning the regular season on the disabled list remains a possibility.

Forsythe hopes to return to Cactus League action this weekend, and has been ramping up his workout intensity in the past couple of days. If healthy, he's expected to serve as the Padres starting third baseman while Chase Headley recovers from his thumb injury.
Mar 22 - 8:10 PM

Logan Forsythe (foot) expects to return to Cactus League action by this weekend.

"I feel good and I’ve been ramping up the past couple of days," said Forsythe. Nursing plantar fasciitis in his right foot, Forsythe won't have a whole lot of time to get ready for the season, but he'll probably be available on Opening Day as long as he avoids a setback. He's likely to be used at third base while Chase Headley (thumb) is sidelined.
Mar 18 - 9:21 PM

Logan Forsythe could have the protective boot on his right foot removed soon.

He would then need 2-3 days of therapy before being cleared to return to game action. The Padres don't seem to be overly concerned about Forsythe's health, but the longer he's out, the better chance there is of Jedd Gyorko being the Opening Day second baseman.
Mar 13 - 6:26 PM

Logan Forsythe is wearing a protective boot on his right foot and isn't expected to return until the weekend.

Forsythe is dealing with plantar fasciitis in the foot and received an injection for it Sunday. The Padres don't seem concerned at this point that the infielder's injury might keep him from being ready for Opening Day, but he does have a history of foot problems.
