Estrada Out, Morgan In for Padres | San Diego Padres News

Padres’ ace Jeremiah Estrada is headed to the injured list with a right shoulder impingement, retroactive to Tuesday, just as the team races toward the wild-card race. With only a month left in the season and his bullpen already stretched thin, Estrada’s absence adds pressure on relievers like Mason Miller and Adrian Morejon. David Morgan, called up from Triple-A El Paso, will now fill the void — a 26-year-old with solid minor league stats but a higher ERA. The Padres, clinging to a half-game lead over Arizona, need every pitch they can get — and this injury could be a pivotal moment in their playoff push.
