As expected, a number of injuries have opened spots on the Padres\u2019 opening day roster.<\/p>\n
Right-handers Jason Adam (left quad), Griffin Canning (left Achilles), Bryan Hoeing (elbow), Joe Musgrove (elbow) and Matt Waldron (hemorrhoid surgery) will begin the season on the 15-day injured list, as will left-hander Yuki Matsui (left groin). Infielders Sung-Mun Song and Will Wagner, both nursing right oblique strains, will open the season on the 10-day injured list.<\/p>\n
Those moves, as well as placing rehabbing right-hander Yu Darvish on the restricted list as he considers his long-term future with the organization, cleared the way for the team to select the contracts of right-hander Walker Buehler and infielder Ty France, both of whom won jobs after beginning spring training on minor league deals.<\/p>\n
Darvish underwent surgery on his right UCL and flexor tendon in October, wiping out the 2026 season. It is an open question whether the 39-year-old will pitch again for the Padres despite being under contract through 2028.<\/p>\n
Here is the entirety of the Padres\u2019 opening day roster:<\/p>\n
RHPs (10): Walker Buehler, Jeremiah Estrada, Michael King, Ron Marinaccio, Germ\u00e1n M\u00e1rquez, Mason Miller, David Morgan, Nick Pivetta, Bradgley Rodriguez, Randy V\u00e1squez
\nLHPs (3): Kyle Hart, Adri\u00e1n Morej\u00f3n, Wandy Peralta
\nCs (2): Luis Campusano, Freddy Fermin
\nINFs (7): Miguel Andujar, Xander Bogaerts, Nick Castellanos, Jake Cronenworth, Ty France, Manny Machado, Gavin Sheets
\nOFs (4): Bryce Johnson, Ram\u00f3n Laureano, Jackson Merrill, Fernando Tatis Jr.<\/p>\n
