SAN DIEGO -- When Tyson Ross was healthy and at his best, the 6-foot-6 right-hander was an All-Star for the Padres.
He had a 23-26 record over the 2014-15 seasons with a 3.03 ERA in 64 starts covering 391 1/3 innings.
Ross was so tough that he was the Padres' Opening Day starter in 2016. But Opening Day was the only time Ross would pitch in 2016. Persistent shoulder problems sidelined him for the rest of the season and led to thoracic outlet surgery.
Ross pitched in 2017 but not very well, and with the Texas Rangers, for whom he was 3-3 with a 7.
