Fermin (head) begins rehab assignment at El Paso

Freddy Fermin

SD Catcher #54

Player Stats

Freddy Fermin (head) went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Wednesday for Triple-A El Paso.

He began a rehab assignment there last night and figures to be activated in the near future, though it’s worth noting he DHed and has not caught in a game yet.

Padres activated C Freddy Germin from the 10-day injured list.

Fermin had been shelved with a bruised head since early July, but made it through a recent rehab assignment with no issues and is ready to return. He is not in the Padres’ starting lineup for Friday’s battle against the Royals though. Rodolfo Duran was optioned to Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move on Friday.

Padres placed C Freddy Fermin on the 10-day injured list with a bruised head.

It’s a separate issue from the concussion that he suffered in mid-June. No word yet from the Padres on how long he’ll be shelved for. Luis Campusano was activated from the injured list to take his place on the Padres’ active roster.

Padres activated C Freddy Fermin from the concussion injured list.

Fermin returns to San Diego’s catching mix after missing just over one week with a concussion.

SD Catcher #54

Padres placed C Freddy Fermin on the 7-day concussion injured list.

Fermin was hit in the head by an errant warm-up toss from Yuki Matsui during Saturday’s game. He’ll need to pass through the concussion protocol before he’s eligible to return. Blake Hunt was promoted from Triple-A El Paso to take his place on the Padres’ active roster.
Freddy Fermin

SD Catcher #54

Freddy Fermin, who was without a homer this season until Saturday, went 2-for-3 and homered in a third straight game Monday against the Reds.

Fermin hadn’t started three straight days all year, so it’s safe to say he was only in there tonight because he homered Saturday and Sunday. Now we’ll wait and see whether the Padres will make it four games in a row. They could always DH him if they think he needs a break from catching.
Freddy Fermin

SD Catcher #54

Freddy Fermin had a two-run homer and an RBI double to plate all three Padres runs Sunday against the Mets.

Fermin has two homers and five RBI in two days after opening the season with a .126/.227/.165 line, no homers and four RBI in 119 plate appearances through Friday. Alas, while Saturday night’s homer was huge in a 3-2 win, Fermin didn’t get enough help in a 7-3 loss today. It’ll be interesting to see if the Padres try to ride the hot hand and keep him in the lineup on Monday. He hasn’t started three straight days at any point this season.
Freddy Fermin

SD Catcher #54

Freddy Fermin went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in the Padres 3-2 win over the Mets on Saturday.

Fermin delivered a clutch hit in the seventh inning, taking Austin Warren deep for a two-run homer to give the Padres the lead in Saturday’s low-scoring affair. It was a timely first home run of the season for Fermin, who’s slashing .133/.231/.200 across 122 plate appearances.

SD Catcher #54

Freddy Fermin (head) is back in the lineup for Saturdays’ tilt against the Angels.

Fermin missed the last two days after he was hit in the mask by a foul tip. The 30-year-old backstop will hit eighth and handle catching duties with Germán Márquez on the bump for San Diego.
Freddy Fermin

SD Catcher #54

Freddy Fermin will be reevaluated Thursday, but initial tests Wednesday suggested he did not suffer a concussion after being hit in the mask by a foul tip.

Fermin exited Wednesday’s game after two innings. If he needs to miss a day or two, the Padres don’t really have any flexibility to call up a catcher without giving up on Nick Castellanos or Ty France. Their only position players with options are Jackson Merrill, Gavin Sheets and Fermin.
Freddy Fermin

SD Catcher #54

Freddy Fermin left Wednesday’s game against the Mariners with an apparent head injury.

Fermin was replaced by Luis Campusano behind the plate after taking a foul tip off his catcher’s mask. The 30-year-old will undergo evaluation for a possible concussion. There should be an update on his status following the game.

Marlins optioned OF Rece Hinds to Triple-A Jacksonville.

The Marlins wanted to add an extra infielder to their roster on Sunday and unfortunately Hinds got the boot to make room. He appeared in just one game during his time with the team, going hitless in two at-bats including a strikeout. He’ll continue to serve as extra outfield depth at the Triple-A level.

Marlins recalled INF Graham Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville.

Pauley has struggled during his time with the Marlins this season, hitting just .176 (16-for-91) with one homer, 11 RBI and a stolen base in 36 games. He can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes. Rece Hinds was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move to clear a spot on the club’s active roster.

Max Scherzer (thumb) threw a successful bullpen session on Sunday.

The Blue Jays are hopeful that Scherzer hasn’t lost most of his buildup from before suffering a setback with his injured thumb and that he’ll be able to resume his minor league rehab assignment soon. He’s still not expected to be ready to join the club’s rotation until August.

Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Sunday that Shohei Ohtani (knee) will not make his scheduled start on Wednesday against the Phillies.

Roberts noted that the team has decided to take a cautious approach with Ohtani’s injured left knee and the 32-year-old superstar will not pitch for an undetermined amount of time. It remains unclear if the Dodgers will stick with a six-man rotation while Ohtani is shelved or go with a traditional five-man alignment for the time being.
