No major league baseball team can expect to weather an entire season without injuries, both major and minor, but the Padres seem to add players to the disabled list with alarming regularity. The pitching staff, in particular, has been hard hit, leading the team to hold what amounts to tryouts in major league games.
Players on the disabled list include three starting pitchers Jered Weaver, Trevor Cahill and Jarred Cosart, who started out in the bullpen but had to take over when Cahill went down. This is Cosart’s second trip to the DL.
