Joey Lucchesi will not be on the San Diego Padres’ Opening Day roster. As of yesterday, he has been re-assigned to the minors. The news was somewhat expected given Tyson Ross’ recent emergence, as well as his experience.
Luis Perdomo did just enough to keep his spot in the rotation. The Padres’ starting five will mostly be Clayton Richard, Dinelson Lamet, Luis Perdomo, Tyson Ross, and Bryan Mitchell. Wait for an official announcement from the San Diego Padres tomorrow.
