Padres manager Bud Black indicated that Cameron Maybin was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup due to a recurring right wrist injury. Maybin has dealt with wrist issues in each of the past two seasons, so this isn't a promising development. However, it does provide some context for his early struggles. The 26-year-old is just 3-for-33 (.091) to begin the season. It's not clear when he'll be ready to return.

Cameron Maybin was hitless in three at-bats Thursday night against the Dodgers. Maybin is just 2-for-27 (.074) through eight games this season. The 26-year-old finished strong last season and offers plenty of speed, so we wouldn't overreact to some early struggles. This might be the best time to buy low in fantasy leagues.

Cameron Maybin (back) went through full drills Wednesday and is expected to return to the lineup Thursday or Friday. Maybin has been nursing lower back pain after dealing with more wrist issues earlier this spring. He's batted .350/.381/.550 in Cactus League play when on the field.

Cameron Maybin will sit out the next couple days with lower back pain. Maybin has also dealt with more wrist issues this spring. He's stung the ball when healthy, though, batting .350/.381/.550 over seven contests.

Cameron Maybin went 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers. Maybin dealt with more wrist issues early on in spring training, but he's now hitting .412 over his first 17 at-bats. He should be a nice speed option again in fantasy leagues this season, but we're still waiting for that power potential to come around.

Cameron Maybin (wrist) went 1-for-2 with an RBI in his Cactus League debut Sunday. Maybin had been limited in camp due to a right wrist issue. The ailment doesn't appear to be a worry any longer, but keep in mind that he also dealt with wrist problems during the previous two seasons.

Cameron Maybin (wrist) is expected to make his Cactus League debut Sunday. Maybin has dealt with wrist issues in each of the past two seasons and was unable to participate in spring training drills this week, so it's a good sign that he'll be available for Sunday's exhibition. Chase Headley is also expected to make his Cactus League debut after missing the opener.

Padres manager Bud Black said Thursday that Cameron Maybin (wrist) is very close to full activity. Maybin's wrist has been an issue at times over the past two seasons, so the Padres don't want to take any chances this early in the spring. Barring any setbacks, he should he have plenty of time to get ready for the regular season.

Cameron Maybin is still sidelined due to soreness in his right wrist. Maybin has dealt with wrist issues over each of the past two seasons, so it's a bit troubling that it continues to follow him. For what it's worth, Padres manager Bud Black isn't worried, so hopefully they are just playing things safe given his history.

Cameron Maybin was unable to participate in a team workout Monday due to ongoing discomfort in his right wrist. "It's getting better," the speedy center fielder told reporters Monday morning. "I'm going to take a couple days, let it get right and get back at it." Maybin also dealt with right wrist issues during the 2012 season. This is a situation worth monitoring all spring.
