MILWAUKEE — The Padres officially added left-hander Christian Friedrich and catcher Hector Sanchez to their roster on Friday, necessitating a pair of corresponding roster moves: While Rule 5 outfielder Jabari Blash was designated for assignment, right-hander Andrew Cashner went on the 15-day disabled list with a right hamstring strain.
The club believes Cashner's hamstring strain is less severe than the ones that landed a trio of infielders — Yangervis Solarte, Alexi Amarista and Jemile Weeks — on the DL. Cashner, whose stint is retroactive to May 9, played catch, went through light running before Friday's game at Miller Park and had hoped to take the mound Saturday.
