SAN DIEGO -- Padres catcher Austin Hedges was sent to Los Angeles on Thursday to receive tests on his ailing right elbow, including an MRI. Results weren't available as of first pitch Thursday night.
Hedges has been out of the lineup since April 30 with right elbow tendinitis. He resumed throwing on Tuesday, partaking in what the club termed as "light catch."
"He hasn't had a setback," manager Andy Green said Thursday. "He threw yesterday, felt good, we just felt it was the right time to get some tests done.
