May 5: IF Donovan Solano promoted to Majors; IF Eguy Rosario optioned to Triple-A El Paso
The Padres selected Solano’s contract from El Paso. He signed a Minor League deal on April 17 and spent the past couple weeks with the Chihuahuas as sort of a pseudo Spring Training. Solano, 36, is a veteran of 10 big league seasons. He posted a slash line of .282/.369/.391 over 134 games with the Twins last year.

“The Padres want to win, and I want to be a part of this,” Solano said after arriving in the clubhouse Sunday morning.

Rosario, 24, made the team out of Spring Training and hit .250 with three homers in 48 at-bats.

May 5: RHP Joe Musgrove to IL; RHP Randy Vásquez recalled from Triple-A El Paso
The Padres placed Musgrove on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. The club called up Vásquez to fill Musgrove’s spot in the rotation. Vásquez, one of the players acquired from the Yankees in December in the Juan Soto trade, had a 5.87 ERA in two big league starts filling in for Yu Darvish last month.

May 4: INF Luis Arraez added to active roster; INF Graham Pauley optioned to Triple-A
Arraez, who was acquired from the Marlins on Saturday in exchange for RHP Woo-Suk Go, OF Dillon Head, OF Jakob Marsee and 1B/OF Nathan Martorella, was added to the active roster. Pauley, who had a slash line of .125/.125./.313 over 32 MLB at-bats, was optioned to clear a spot.

10-DAY/15-DAY INJURED LIST

RHP Joe Musgrove (right elbow inflammation)
Expected return: TBD
Musgrove was placed on the 15-day IL on May 5, four days after an encouraging six innings against the Reds (two runs, season-high nine strikeouts). Musgrove has a 6.37 ERA in eight starts this year. He started last season on the IL because of a left big toe fracture and ended it on the IL with right shoulder capsule inflammation. (Last updated: May 5)

RHP Luis Patiño (right elbow inflammation)
Expected return: 2025
Patiño underwent Tommy John surgery on April 30, putting an end to his 2024 season before it began. The 24-year-old made two appearances in Spring Training before opening the season on the IL. The Padres, who originally signed Patiño as an amateur free agent before dealing him to Tampa Bay in the 2020 Blake Snell trade, claimed Patiño off waivers from the White Sox in December.

IF/OF Tucupita Marcano (surgery for torn right ACL)
Expected return: First half
Marcano has begun taking ground balls as he progresses in his rehab from a torn ACL. The 24-year-old utilityman had surgery last August after injuring his knee while playing for the Pirates against the Padres on July 24. He does not yet have a set date to return to game action but will continue ramping up his baseball activity. (Last updated: April 12)

RHP Glenn Otto (right shoulder teres major strain)
Expected return: First half
After dealing with shoulder trouble last season, Otto suffered a setback during the early stages of camp, and he's yet to pitch in Cactus League games. On March 9, manager Mike Shildt offered some clarity, noting that Otto is still in the rehab stage of his recovery, though he added that Otto is getting "closer to playing catch and baseball activity." The Padres claimed Otto off waivers from the Rangers last September. He was expected to be part of their rotation competition, but instead he opened the year on the injured list.
