Jason Adam, a right-handed pitcher for the San Diego Padres, made his return to the team during a game against the Colorado Rockies after recovering from quad tendon surgery. His reinstatement came just before the game, where he was called upon to secure the final out after a reliever struggled. Adam had an impressive 1.93 ERA last season, and the team opted for a cautious approach in his return. In contrast, Jeremiah Estrada was placed on the 15-day injured list due to elbow tendinitis after struggling with a 5.14 ERA this season. Manager Craig Stammen noted that Estrada reported discomfort during a throwing session, leading to the decision for him to rest. Additionally, Matt Waldron, another right-handed pitcher, is performing well in Triple-A El Paso and is expected to join the Padres soon as he continues to recover from an earlier surgery.
