Padres Navigate Andujar Injury & Lineup Shifts | San Diego Padres News

Padres’ key infielder Miguel Andujar goes down with a fractured wrist after being hit by a pitch, but the injury might not sideline him for long—possibly back by August. His absence ends any serious trade talks, and the team has recalled Rodolfo Duran to fill the void. Manager Craig Stammen remains optimistic about a quick recovery, while the Padres scramble to adjust their lineup, giving more reps to Gavin Sheets, Jace Peterson, and Luis Rengifo. On the pitching front, Nick Pivetta, Joe Musgrove, and Jeremiah Estrada are all nearing returns, but with the team struggling on their current road trip, those moves may not translate to wins anytime soon. It’s a brutal stretch of injuries and lineup shuffling as San Diego fights to find their winning formula. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
