Padres Option Song to Triple-A, Shake Up Infield

0:00The San Diego Padres just shook up their infield roster before Thursday's finale against the Seattle Mariners. They brought back infielders Sung Monsong from the 10-day injured list after his rehab stand for an oblique injury, then immediately optioned him too. Triple A El Paso. This move caught some folks off guard since song looked like a sure bet for the opening day squad if he got healthy. But things shifted quick in spring training. Ty France stepped up big time as a non-roster invite and snagged the spot on the roster, pushing Sung down the death chart. Plus, Fernando Tatee's Jr.'s versatility as second base gives Jay Kronenworth solid backup without needing song right now. The Padres announced it straight from their Twitter, keeping options open as the season rolls. Song will get every day at bats in El Paso to build back up and we'll see if he forces his way back soon. You've been listening to California News today, AI-powered local news.
