O'Grady cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Grady filled a minor role as a depth outfielder this season but didn't acquit himself well, hitting .157/.267/.333 in 61 plate appearances. Heading into his age-30 season, it's no surprise to see him fail to get claimed off waivers given that he's yet to find success at the major-league level.

The Padres optioned O'Grady to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Grady's latest stint with the big club lasted just over a week, with the 29-year-old appearing in four games and going 0-for-6 at the dish. San Diego brought back superstar Fernando Tatis (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

O'Grady hit a solo home run in his only plate appearance during Sunday's loss to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
With San Diego trailing 9-2 and down to its final out, O'Grady provided a brief delay of the inevitable with a solo shot to right field. The long ball was his second of the campaign. O'Grady has slashed an impressive .314/.387/.628 in the minors this season but has been mostly unproductive with the big club, batting .178 with a 27.3 percent strikeout rate.

O'Grady was recalled by the Padres on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Grady has bounced on and off the fringe of the active roster throughout the year. He's done very little with his limited opportunities, hitting .167/.279/.333 in 44 trips to the plate. Reiss Knehr was optioned in a corresponding move.

O'Grady was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Grady had been occupying Trent Grisham's roster spot while the latter was on the injured list with a bruised heel, but O'Grady will now head back to the minors in conjunction with Grisham's activation. In 44 plate appearances with the Padres, O'Grady has slashed .167/.279/.333 with a home run and five RBI.

O'Grady went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an RBI double and a walk Monday in the Padres' 9-4 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Called up from Triple-A El Paso earlier in the day, O'Grady stepped into the starting nine in place of a resting Wil Myers and didn't take long to make an impact. O'Grady gave the Padres a four-run lead when he slugged a 407-foot blast off Adbert Alzolay in the third inning, and he later added another run-scoring extra-base hit in the bottom of the eighth for good measure. Despite the stellar showing Monday, O'Grady doesn't look like he'll be in line for regular playing time in the San Diego outfield with Myers, Tommy Pham and Jurickson Profar all healthy and with Trent Grisham (heel) likely to return from the injured list later this week.

O'Grady was recalled by the Padres on Monday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Grady has bounced on and off the active roster throughout the season and is now on his fourth separate stint in the big leagues this year. He hasn't hit nearly well enough to stick around, posting a .115/.250/.192 slash line in 33 plate appearances, but he'll get the start in right field Monday against the Cubs, with Wil Myers getting the night off. Tucupita Marcano was optioned in a corresponding move.
