Bryan Hoeing's Setback: Padres Bullpen Race Continues

Bryan Hoeing, a promising Padres pitcher, faces a significant setback with flexor tendon surgery, sidelining him for the entire 2026 season. Despite his strong performance in 2024, a shoulder strain and subsequent struggles in 2025 derailed his momentum. The Padres bullpen race remains competitive, with Kyle Hart and Yuki Matsui (despite his adductor strain) vying for spots. The team projects eight relievers for spots, with Jason Adam and Matt Waldron potentially shaking things up upon their returns.
