Estrada Out Again, Padres Bullpen Struggles | San Diego Padres News

Padres’ bullpen ace Jeremiah Estrada is sidelined again, this time with a right shoulder impingement, landing him on the 15-day IL for the third time this season. Despite his solid performance when healthy—3.48 ERA, 38 strikeouts in 31 innings—his absence hits hard as the Padres push toward the playoffs. Manager Craig Stammen emphasized caution, noting Estrada felt discomfort after a recent game but avoided an MRI. With Jason Adam still rehabbing and other relievers stepping up, Yuki Matsui and Kyle Hart may see more high-leverage roles. David Morgan, called up from Triple-A El Paso, offers stability with a 3.25 ERA and 76 Ks over two seasons. The bullpen’s depth is now under even greater pressure as Estrada’s postseason pedigree adds to the concern. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
