The Padres announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander from Triple-A. In corresponding moves, left-hander was optioned to Triple-A, and left-hander was designated for a signment. Gillaspie first joined San Diegos organization as a waiver claim off the Red Sox roster in November 2023, and he to sed 11 1/3 MLB innings (to a 7.15 ERA) last season. The Padres didnt tender him a contract after the season, but then re-signed Gillaspie to a minors deal in December, and the righty has 2 2/3 innings of 6.75 ERA ball under his belt at Triple-A El Paso so far in the young minor league season. Gillaspie is out of minor league options, so hell have to be designated for a signment the next time the Padres want to send him back to the minors. This could happen in relatively short order, as it would seem like Gillaspie has been promoted just to give San Diego a fresh arm in the bullpen. Cruz to sed 68 pitches over three innings of relief in yesterdays 6-4 lo s to the Cubs, and the Padres dont have another off-day until Thursday. It wouldnt Jake Layman Jersey be a shock to see Cruz recalled before the week is over, and once hes had time to rest up from his extended outing. Cosgrove is the other pitcher involved in todays set of roster moves, and the 28-year-old heads to DFA limbo for the first time in his pro career. A 12th-round pick for San Diego in the 2017 draft, Cosgrove had an excellent 1.75 ERA in 51 1/3 innings during his 2023 rookie season, though secondary metrics indicated that Cosgrove enjoyed a lot of good fortune in managing that stellar ERA. The luck turned in the other direction last season, as Cosgrove had only an 11.66 ERA in 14 2/3 big league innings, and he also struggled at the Triple-A level. In 2025, Cosgrove got off to another rough start, with a 7.36 ERA and four walks in his first 3 2/3 innings of work in El Paso. It was enough to make him the odd man out on the Padres 40-man roster, and Cosgrove will have to accept an outright a signment if he clears waivers since he doesnt the service time or the past outright on his resume that would allow him to reject the a signment in favor of free agency.
