San Diego Padres manager Bob Melvin told the media following Tuesday’s loss that Seth Lugo strained his calf at the end of the second inning while trying to cover first base. An IL stint was expected and the Padres quietly made the move today.
Usually San Diego tweets something out when a major league move is being made but as of 4:30 pm today, there was no public announcement. It was only listed on their transactions page on the team’s website. Ryan Weathers has been called up.
