Torres was cut loose by San Diego on Wednesday, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Torres was designated for assignment and outrighted from the club's roster earlier in the week, and will now hit the free-agent market after being released by the organization. The 25-year-old was not a member of the Padres' active roster at any point during the 2018 season due to a violation of the league's domestic violence policy, which eventually led to a season-ending suspension in June. Across 62 relief appearances with the team in 2017, he logged a 4.21 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with 63 strikeouts in 68.1 innings.

Torres was outrighted from San Diego's 40-man roster Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Torres didn't take the field at all during the 2018 season after violating the league's domestic violence policy. He was officially suspended in early June following his placement on the restricted list in February. The left-hander was recently designated for assignment but will remain a part of the Padres' organization for the time being.

Torres was suspended for the remainder of the 2018 season for violating the league's domestic violence policy, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's officially a 100-game suspension for Torres (retroactive to June 5), which he is not appealing. The 24-year-old has been on the restricted list since February due to the domestic violence incident that took place in December, and results in him sitting out the entirety of the 2018 season.

Torres was placed on the restricted list as a result of a domestic violence-related incident in December, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beside the domestic issues, the left-hander was also found to be in prohibited possession of a deadly weapon and drugs. Torres pleaded not guilty to initial charges, but he still has another pretrial conference scheduled for February 20. More information should come forth at that time. Major League Baseball and the MLBPA will also investigate the situation following the court proceedings, which will likely lead to a suspension of some sort for Torres.

Torres was placed on the restricted list Monday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

No other details emerged regarding the reason behind this designation, but it ultimately will keep him from competing for an Opening Day roster spot. The southpaw produced a 4.21 ERA and a 63:16 K:BB in 68.1 innings last season, and he seemed to be trending upward prior to this issue. With Torres out of the picture for now, Buddy Baumann and Kyle McGrath will jockey to be the main lefty behind closer Brad Hand.

Torres gave up two hits over a scoreless inning in a loss to the Giants on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Torres owns a sub-par 4.21 ERA on the year, but he has come on strong in the second half, providing a 1.96 ERA and 5.0 K/BB ratio in 17 appearances since Aug. 6. More importantly, he has given up just one home run over during that period after posting an ugly 2.2 HR/9 over his previous 45 outings. The 24-year-old southpaw possesses the arsenal to earn a higher-leverage role in 2018 if he can continue to the limit the long ball.

Torres has a 4.69 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 51 strikeouts across 55.2 innings this season.

EDGE Analysis

Torres major weakness this season has been the home run ball, as he has given up 13, including 10 over his last 29 innings of work. The 23-year-old has a 6-3 record and three holds in 2017, but has limited fantasy value with his infrequent usage in high leverage situations.

Torres was the winning pitcher of record Tuesday after recording two outs in relief in a win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Trevor Cahill (shoulder) couldn't complete five full frames in his first start fresh off the disabled list, so Torres stepped in to pick up the victory. The five wins are nice, but those should be disregarded as chasing wins from a reliever is not a fruitful venture. The 23-year-old has held his own as a rookie, posting a 4.14 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 4.3 K/BB over 37 innings, but those numbers aren't good enough for use in fantasy as a middle reliever.

Torres has pitched 13.1 innings since taking a line drive off his wrist, striking out 11 and giving up five runs, one of which was unearned.

EDGE Analysis

Torres has shown no signs of lingering problems from the line drive on his wrist May 10, posting a 1.20 WHIP and 2.70 ERA since then. The WHIP is actually an increase from the 0.93 he had before the injury, but that number should be ignored as the attention goes to the ERA drop from the 5.40 he was originally posting. On the season, his numbers now stand at a WHIP of 1.06 and ERA of 4.13, respectable stats for a pitcher who only had three big league innings under his belt coming into the season.

Torres (hand) pitched one-third of an inning in Friday's victory of the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

A line drive hit Torres on the wrist earlier in the week, but the southpaw was able to avoid a DL stint and returned to action Friday. Although Torres has pitched in 17 games this season, he's not one to see many high-leverage situations as he's converted just one of two save opportunities and owns a lofty 5.28 ERA.
