The Padres also signed right-hander Craig Stammen to a one-year contract He'll begin as a reliever, and Robbie Erlin (Tommy John surgery) was moved to the 60-day disabled list to make room for Stammen on the 40-man roster.
And finally, Carter Capps, also barely a year out from Tommy John, will open on the 10-day DL, but travel with the team to Los Angeles where the Padres open against the Dodgers on Monday.
Capps is slated to pitch a simulated game at Dodger Stadium and then a determination will be made where he will begin his rehab assignment, Green said.
