Andujar Lands on IL With Right Wrist Fracture
The Padres lose a league-average bat for several weeks as Andujar recovers from a fracture suffered after being hit by a pitch.
Miguel Andujar was placed on the 10-day IL after tests revealed a right wrist fracture sustained when he was hit by a Lucas Erceg pitch. He remained in the game at the time but soreness prompted further evaluation. The Padres expect him back in August. His absence is notable given San Diego's broader offensive struggles this season.
