The injury report thus far is not too pretty for the San Diego Padres. The club hasn’t experienced all that many ailments this spring, but the three players sidelined by injury are some of the most critical on the roster.
Infielder Ryan Schimpf and outfielders Alex Dickerson and Manuel Margot are each listed as questionable for return on Opening Day. In the span of just a week, the three young position players were hurt in spring training action.
Margot, a 22-year-old rookie is currently suffering from swelling in his left knee, an injury which occurred during a spring game against the Indians.
