The San Diego Padres have outrighted pitcher Daison Acosta, who has yet to make his MLB debut, opening a spot on their 40-man roster, now at 39. Acosta, who impressed the Padres enough to earn a big league contract despite struggling at Triple-A last season, will remain in the organization after clearing waivers. Additionally, the team reassigned catching prospect Ethan Salas to minor league camp, likely starting his season at Double-A San Antonio. The Padres may fill Acosta’s roster spot soon, potentially by transferring Yu Darvish to the 60-day injured list.
