Yesterday the Padres made an minor move that might have flown under the radar. They optioned Chris Rearick to AAA and called up Cory Mazzoni. It seems like an innocent enough move, after a short outing by Ian Kennedy the pen was short and Rearick was one the relievers used that had options, but the reason that move is so intriguing is that it leaves the Padres with no left handed pitchers on the major league roster.
Having a rotation without a lefty isn’t all that uncommon.
