Kennedy (lat) began a rehab assignment Aug. 3 with the Padres' rookie-level Arizona League affiliate but hasn't appeared in any minor-league games since that date.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy gave up a run on two hits and a walk over his lone inning with the affiliate in what marked his first competitive action since he was diagnosed with a lat strain in spring training. His lack of usage in the subsequent two weeks following the rehab outing suggests he may have experienced a setback, though the Padres haven't confirmed that's the case. Even if Kennedy makes it back on the mound before the end of 2019, his limited action since the spring makes it unlikely he'll be a September callup for San Diego.

Kennedy (lat) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears space on the 40-man roster for Alex Dickerson, whose contract was purchased in a corresponding move. Kennedy remains without a clear target date to return from his lat strain.

Kennedy (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day IL.

EDGE Analysis

He is dealing with a lat strain and has been shut down until mid April. It's possible he will be able to return this summer, but it will likely be a fairly long process of rehab and building back up before he can return to the majors.

Kennedy has been diagnosed with a lat strain and will be shut down for a month, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a month it will be back to square one for Kennedy, who will need at least another month to build back up to the point that he could join the big-league bullpen.

Kennedy will not throw as scheduled Friday due to "general arm fatigue," AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy was set to pitch during a back-field game but will instead take a break from throwing. The specifics of the issue remain unclear as the 24-year-old is still being evaluated.

Kennedy underwent a procedure to repair fraying in the patellar tendon of his left knee Wednesday. He is expected to resume throwing in mid-November, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy began feeling soreness in the knee a couple weeks ago, and doctors determined that the surgical route would be best, especially with the season nearing its completion. The right-hander is expected to be fully operational by the time spring training rolls around.

Kennedy no longer appears to be included in the Padres' rotation, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Padres added Bryan Mitchell to their rotation earlier this month in what was expected to be a temporary measure to give their four rookie starting pitchers additional rest between turns, but the veteran has seemingly performed well enough to stick around for additional starts. With manager Andy Green opting not to expand the rotation to six men, it appears Kennedy is the odd man out, as he hasn't pitched since Sept. 7 and isn't listed as a probable starter for any of the team's next four games. The decision to move Kennedy to the bullpen doesn't come as much of a surprise after the 24-year-old posted a 6.75 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB in 26.2 innings over his first six MLB starts.

Kennedy (1-2) got the win against the Rockies on Friday, throwing six shutout innings while yielding just four hits, striking out two and walking two in San Diego's 7-0 victory.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has now looked solid in three straight contests after giving up 11 runs in his first two starts, and he was rewarded with his first win of the season for this strong showing against a tough Rockies lineup. Kennedy's still got a bloated 5.76 ERA and a 1.72 WHIP through his 25 innings, so he has a long way to go before he could be deemed a viable fantasy play.

Kennedy gave up three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings and settling for a no-decision in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy got off to a rough start, serving up a three-run homer to Manny Machado in the first inning. The rookie settled down and tossed four scoreless frames to salvage his outing. The long ball continues to plague the 24-year-old, as Saturday's homer was the sixth he has surrendered in just four starts this month. Kennedy is lined up to make one more start before rosters expand, but he shouldn't draw much fantasy interest in a home matchup against the Rockies next Friday.

Kennedy allowed two runs on three walks and six hits across give innings in Sunday's 4-3 loss to Arizona. He took the no-decision, striking out four batters and yielding a homer.

EDGE Analysis

It was a pretty lackluster outing for Kennedy, but certainly better than his first two big league outings. He entered Sunday's contest having given up 11 runs on 20 hits in just nine innings. Assuming the rookie righty stays with the Padres, he'll get his next start against the Dodgers on Saturday.
