The Padres placed setup man\u00a0Jason Adam<\/a> on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 30, with a shoulder strain.\u00a0Germ\u00e1n M\u00e1rquez<\/a> came back from his own IL stint to replace him on the pitching staff.<\/p>\n

Adam hits the IL for a second time this season. The All-Star righty was delayed ever so slightly as he finished his rehab from last year\u2019s season-ending quad surgery. Adam\u2019s 2.51 earned run average would suggest he\u2019s back to his usual form, but his underlying numbers raised some questions. Adam has a career-low 16.4% strikeout rate and has lost a tick off his fastball. He\u2019s still getting opponents to expand the strike zone but having a little tougher time missing bats.<\/p>\n

The diminished stuff started to catch up to Adam in recent weeks. He gave up seven runs across 12 1\/3 frames in June, surrendering four homers in the process. He\u2019s still the team\u2019s top right-handed setup man in front of Mason Miller<\/a>, leading the club with five holds last month.<\/p>\n

San Diego\u2019s bullpen overall has started to show some cracks. It\u2019s among the league\u2019s best on paper and pitched at that level for the first couple months. They had a middle of the pack 3.66 ERA in June. Their July numbers are going to be ugly for a while too after the Cubs hung 23 runs against them yesterday, though a lot of that damage came against backup catcher\u00a0Rodolfo Dur\u00e1n<\/a> in mop-up work.<\/p>\n

Adam is their third righty reliever to go down within the last month. They\u2019ve been without\u00a0Jeremiah Estrada<\/a> since June 3 because of knee inflammation.\u00a0David Morgan<\/a> went on the shelf with the same issue earlier in the week. Miller and Morejon are an elite 1-2 combination, but rookie\u00a0Bradgley Rodriguez<\/a> has quickly been pushed up the ladder as their best righty setup man.\u00a0Ron Marinaccio<\/a> is the only other right-hander in the current bullpen, though they could use M\u00e1rquez in long relief as well.<\/p>\n

M\u00e1rquez missed two months with nerve irritation in his forearm. He\u2019d opened the season in the rotation and been blitzed for a 5.76 ERA across six starts. San Diego has\u00a0Randy V\u00e1squez<\/a>,\u00a0Michael King<\/a>,\u00a0Griffin Canning<\/a> and\u00a0JP Sears<\/a> lined up as their rotation for this weekend\u2019s four-game set at Dodger Stadium. Walker Buehler<\/a> got rocked by the Cubs yesterday but was the team\u2019s only effective starter in June. San Diego has lost five straight and dropped two games back in the Wild Card picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Padres placed setup man\u00a0Jason Adam on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 30, with a shoulder…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":775582,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,18671,25109,591,85],"class_list":["post-775581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-german-marquez","tag-jason-adam","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=775581"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775581\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/775582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=775581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=775581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=775581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
