SAN DIEGO -- Before the Padres completed their 11-game homestead Thursday, there was plenty of injury news.
First baseman Yonder Alonso likely won't return this season, while left fielder Justin Upton is limited after his big toes were fixed.
Alonso, who has been battling back stiffness, had a bone scan, and it revealed something more serious: a stress reaction in his lower back. He won't be joining the team on its trip to San Francisco, where the Padres open a three-game series on Friday.
"There's an absolute possibility he doesn't play again this season," assistant general manager Josh Stein said.
