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.

Luis Campusano

SD Catcher #12

Luis Campusano is sitting Saturday for a second straight game and third time in four games.

Freddy Fermin has now started eight of 12 games behind the plate, with Campusano catching four times and DHing once during that span. Campusano is out-OPSing Fermin .904 to .568, but Fermin’s defense matters more to Craig Stammen. The Padres have gone 36-26 with Fermin starting.

SD Catcher #54

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.

SD Catcher #54

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.
Freddy Fermin

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.

José Ramírez is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s battle against the Rockies.

The 33-year-old superstar will get a rare day off in this one, which is very unfortunate for fantasy managers as they’re at Coors Field and taking on right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano. Expect to see him off the bench if needed on Sunday. Angel Genao will start in his place at third base and bat fifth for the Guardians.

Pirates recalled RHP Khristian Curtis from Triple-A Indianapolis.

The 24-year-old right-hander has made just one appearance for the Pirates this season, logging five scoreless innings with a 4/2 K/BB ratio in a bulk relief role. It’s unclear how the Pirates plan to deploy him this time around. Antwone Kelly was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Angels designated RHP Michael Fulmer for assignment.

The Angels needed to clear a spot on their roster for the return of Yusei Kikuchi from the 60-day injured list on Sunday and unfortunately Fulmer wound up as the odd man out. The 33-year-old hurler pitched well in three appearances with the Angels, posting a 1.09 WHIP and a 4/2 K/BB ratio over 3 2/3 scoreless innings. IT wouldn’t be surprising to see him garner interest on waivers.

Angels activated LHP Yusei Kikuchi from the 60-day injured list.

Kikuchi will make his long-awaited return to the Angels’ rotation on Sunday afternoon against the Rangers. The 35-year-old southpaw had been shelved since the end of April due to inflammation in his pitching shoulder. Fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach here instead of throwing him right back to the wolves on Sunday.
