Cruz was reassigned to minor-league camp Wednesday, Padres radio broadcaster Bob Scanlan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cruz might be in a new organization, but he'll fill the same role that he did last season with the Royals as a depth option at catcher at the Triple-A level. The 30-year-old batted .264 with seven homers and 55 RBI for Triple-A Omaha in 2016.
