Padres Call Up Young Catcher Salas | San Diego Padres News

The San Diego Padres are making a bold move by calling up 20-year-old catcher Ethan Salas, their top prospect, for his first big league appearance—just as they push for a playoff push. With the team tied for second in the division, Salas’ arrival adds a young left-handed bat and depth behind the plate, especially with injuries on the roster. After a strong second half in Triple-A (.326 in 24 games) and a solid Double-A season (.286, 7 HR), Salas is primed to make an impact. His call-up also kicks his MLB service time clock—and if he plays, he could become the youngest catcher to debut since Ivan Rodriguez in 1991. Big things are brewing.
