Ben Francisco - DH - Padres

Padres signed OF Ben Francisco to a minor league contract, assigned him to Triple-A Tucson.

Francisco was released by the Yankees earlier this month after batting just .114/.220/.182 in 50 plate appearances. He'll provide some depth in the minors.

Jedd Gyorko - 2B - Padres

Jedd Gyorko (groin) took grounders on the field prior to Tuesday's game.

Gyorko landed on the DL over a week ago and is just now getting back into baseball activities. He's eligible to return in a week but will need to go out on a rehab assignment first. It's not clear when he'll be ready for that.

Carlos Quentin - OF - Padres

Carlos Quentin (shoulder) is not in the Padres' lineup Tuesday.

He's now missed four straight starts with a sore left shoulder. Quentin remains day-to-day for now, but the disabled list will become a possibility if he doesn't improve in a hurry. Chris Denorfia is starting in left field Tuesday.

Donavan Tate - OF - Padres

Donovan Tate has reported to the Padres' spring training complex in Arizona.

Tate did not show up to camp this past February due to what was described as a personal issue, but he was apparently keeping in contact with the Padres this entire time and has now been allowed back into the organization. "I left baseball in order to gain a grasp on some personal issues in my life," the former third overall pick wrote in a statement to the media on Tuesday.

Huston Street - R - Padres

Huston Street earned his 14th save of the year Monday as the Padres beat the Giants 5-3.

Street entered with a 5-3 lead in the 13th inning and stranded Gregor Blanco, who reached on a single. Street isn't striking anyone out -- he has 13 over 24 games -- and has tossed only four perfect innings in 2013. Despite Street's struggles, he's 14-for-15 in save conversions and has a good amount of job security.

Edinson Volquez - S - Padres

Edinson Volquez allowed four runs on six hits and a walk over five innings in his start Monday against the Giants.

Volquez (5-5, 5.84 ERA) struck out six in the no-decision. The right-hander occasionally shows his talent in mixed-league worthy performances, such as his last start against the Braves (one run over seven innings). Far too often, however, he turns in frustrating performances such as Monday's or gets outright shelled. He's a fringy NL-only pitcher.

Pedro Ciriaco - 3B - Padres

Pedro Ciriaco went 3-for-6 with a stolen base against the Giants on Monday.

Acquired from the Red Sox in exchange for a player to be named later on Friday, Ciriaco is now 3-for-9 over three games for the Friars. Ciriaco doesn't figure to play or hit enough to become fantasy relevant, but he's usable in deeper NL-only formats at the moment due to Jedd Gyorko's injury.
Jun 18 - 3:47 AM
Daniel Stange - R - Padres

Padres released RHP Daniel Stange.

Stange has exercised the opt-out clause in his contract. The right-hander has posted a 4.15 ERA with 43 strikeouts over 39 innings this season at Triple-A Tuscon. He'll now look to catch on elsewhere.
Jun 17 - 7:53 PM
Carlos Quentin - OF - Padres

Carlos Quentin (shoulder) is not in the Padres' lineup Monday.

It's the third straight start he's missed due to a nagging left shoulder injury. The Padres are calling Quentin day-to-day for now, but they haven't ruled out the disabled list as a possibility. Kyle Blanks is starting in left field Monday.

Everth Cabrera - SS - Padres

Everth Cabrera (hamstring) is not in the Padres' lineup Monday.

Cabrera tweaked his left hamstring during Sunday's game. The shortstop thinks he could play through the ailment, but the Padres will give him a few days off as a precaution. "I feel like I can play but I don't want to play at 50 percent," Cabrera said. Pedro Ciriaco is starting at shortstop Monday.

Carlos Quentin - OF - Padres

The Union-Tribune San Diego reports Carlos Quentin (shoulder) could be placed on the disabled list.

Quentin missed his second straight game Sunday and will be reevaluated early this week. "We're keeping an eye on it," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He's day to day. We're cautiously optimistic that he's going to be fine."

Everth Cabrera - SS - Padres

Everth Cabrera is dealing with a left hamstring injury.

Cabrera suffered the injury while trying to steal second base in the eighth inning of Sunday's win. The Padres will update his status early this week. Cabrera and Carlos Quentin are candidates to be placed on the disabled list.

Kyle Blanks - OF - Padres

Kyle Blanks hit a tiebreaking three-run home run in the eighth inning of Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Blanks was the Padres' entire offense outside of a solo shot by Will Venable. He's now homered in back-to-back games after going 2-for-4 with a home run on Saturday. Blanks is batting .281/.365/.511 though his first 145 plate appearances.
Jun 16 - 7:38 PM
Clayton Richard - S - Padres

Clayton Richard allowed just one run on seven hits over eight innings in Sunday's win against the Diamondbacks.

Richard was pitching on six days rest after he was scratched from his start on Saturday. It was a solid bounce back effort, but he only had one strikeout and still has a 7.01 ERA over 53 innings this season.
