PEORIA, Ariz. — Padres reliever Jon Edwards will open the season on the 15-day disabled list with a flexor strain, manager Andy Green said Tuesday.
The right-hander had not pitched in a game since March 19 due to what was described as mild elbow stiffness.
"The good news is it's just muscular," Green said. "Now, it's just slow him down for a couple weeks of no throwing and then build him back up so he can be a part of what we're doing going forward. His name's kind of out of the mix for the opening-day roster.
