Dickerson was designated for assignment by the Padres on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

This move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Miguel Diaz (knee), who was activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday. Dickerson went just 3-for-19 (.158) with a trio of singles and two RBI in 12 appearances for the Padres before being sent to waivers.

Dickerson (wrist) was activated off the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson has been out with the right wrist sprain for almost two weeks and will return to the minors after going 3-for-19 with one run and two RBI in 12 games with the Friars. The 29-year-old will look to continue tearing the cover off the ball at El Paso, where he has a 1.055 OPS in 104 plate appearances this season.

Dickerson was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right wrist Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson apparently sustained the injury in Sunday's game against the Pirates, as he hasn't played since and the move is retroactive to Monday. The 28-year-old has no official timeline for his return and the severity of the sprain remains unclear, but he'll be eligible to be activated May 31.

Dickerson is in the lineup, hitting fifth and playing left field against the Dodgers on Sunday, Bill Center of Padres.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson has seen action off the bench in two games since he was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Friday, and he'll draw his first start of the season for this contest against the Dodgers. The 28-year-old was slashing .360/.462/.593 with five homers in Triple-A before getting called up.

Dickerson's contract was purchased from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Back surgery in 2017 and Tommy John surgery in 2018 kept Dickerson out of baseball entirely for two straight seasons. The 28-year-old owns a career .257/.331/.448 slash line in 95 games for the Padres in 2015 and 2016 and hit .360/.462/.593 in 24 games for El Paso prior to his promotion. Luis Perdomo was optioned to clear a spot on the 25-man roster, while Brett Kennedy (lat) was moved to the 60-day injured list to clear a spot on the 40-man.

The Padres assigned Dickerson (elbow) to their minor-league camp Monday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson hasn't appeared in a regular-season game at any level since 2016, with back surgery sidelining him in 2017 and Tommy John surgery keeping him out in 2018. The 28-year-old reported to spring training at full strength and went 1-for-4 while appearing in three Cactus League contests, but his dearth of action the past two seasons always made cracking the Padres' Opening Day roster an unlikely proposition. He'll need to stay healthy and perform effectively at Triple-A El Paso for an extended period before earning a look in San Diego at any point in 2019.

Dickerson (elbow) inked a minor-league deal with the Padres on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson has spent the past few seasons within the Padres' system, though he failed to play in 2018 after undergoing Tommy John surgery in the spring. He should be fully operational for spring training as the 28-year-old aims to win a spot on the Opening Day roster. In 84 games with the big-league team in 2016, he slashed .257/.333/.455 with 10 home runs and 37 RBI.

Dickerson (elbow) elected to become a free agent after being outrighted from the Padres' 40-man roster Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson missed the entire 2018 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery near the end of March. The outfielder was also sidelined for all of 2017 due to a back issue. He should be fully recovered by the time spring training rolls around, though finding a nice fit may be challenging for the 28-year-old since he hasn't played in over two years.

Dickerson (elbow) was placed on the 60-day disabled list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

This is simply procedural, as Dickerson is expected to miss the entire 2018 season after it was announced that he'll undergo Tommy John surgery at the end of March. Shifting him to the 60-day disabled list opens up a spot on the Padres' 40-man roster.

Dickerson (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery at the end of March, Dennis Lin of The Athletic San Diego reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson had been trying to rehab his elbow in hopes of avoiding Tommy John surgery. Unfortunately, Dickerson's condition didn't improve, which has led to him requiring the procedure. Heading into the upcoming campaign, Dickerson was expected to be a reserve outfielder for San Diego. However, now that he's poised to miss the season, Hunter Renfroe will likely fill said role.
