The Padres released Patino (elbow) on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander had been on the 7-day injured list at Double-A San Antonio since late June after his return from Tommy John surgery hit a snag, and the Padres have now decided to part ways. Patino last pitched in the majors in 2023 and had a 4.57 ERA across 21.2 innings between the White Sox and Rays.

Patino (elbow) was activated off the minor-league injured list and transferred to Double-A San Antonio on Thursday, per MadFriars.

EDGE Analysis

Patino re-signed with San Diego on a minor-league deal in January and began a rehab assignment in early May. The right-hander appeared in four contests with Single-A Lake Elsinore, allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits over nine innings while posting an 8:5 K:BB. Patino is scheduled to make his first start with San Antonio on Friday.

Patino (elbow) will make a rehab start with Single-A Lake Elsinore on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Patino last pitched meaningful innings in the 2023 Dominican Winter League before undergoing Tommy John surgery early in the 2024 campaign. While he's made significant progress, he'll still need an extended rehab assignment before being activated from the injured list.

Patino (elbow) is throwing bullpens during the early portion of spring training, Sammy Levitt of 97.3 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patino underwent Tommy John surgery last April and signed with San Diego on a minor-league deal Jan. 7. His first taste of big-league action came with the Padres in 2020, and he's since logged major-league action with the Rays and White Sox. Though Patino seems to be progressing in his rehab, he isn't expected to be game-ready until around the middle of the season.

The Padres re-signed Patino (elbow) to a minor-league contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Patino was non-tendered by San Diego in November but returns to the organization as he continues his rehab from April 2024 Tommy John surgery. The right-hander is unlikely to be ready to pitch until around midseason.

The Padres non-tendered Patino (elbow) on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Patino is in line to miss the first half of the 2025 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in April. He'll now explore his options in free agency, though teams may hold off on signing him until he gets closer to his expected return date.

The Padres transferred Patino (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Patino's move to the 60-day IL was fully expected at some point after he underwent Tommy John surgery April 30. With the right-hander expected to be sidelined until at least the middle of the 2025 season, he'll be a strong candidate to get non-tendered by the Padres this offseason.

Patino underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Tuesday, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patino initially landed on the injured list during spring training due to right elbow inflammation, and he'll now be sidelined until midway through the 2025 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. The 24-year-old right-hander owns a 5.02 ERA and 1.62 WHIP through 136.1 career big-league innings.

The Padres placed Patino on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Patino made two appearances during spring training, surrendering five earned runs in just 2.1 innings of work. He'll spend at least the first two weeks of the season on the IL, and it's likely Patino is optioned to Triple-A El Paso once he's healthy.

Patino has reported to Padres' camp after being delayed by visa issues, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patino landed back in his original organization via waiver claim this offseason. It's not clear whether the Padres plan to stretch him out to start or if he's pegged for a relief role. The latter would certainly be the most expedient way to get him ready for Opening Day after the delay.
