The Padres announced this evening they’ve placed starter Jake Arrieta on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to August 19, due to a left hamstring strain. The move opens space on the active roster for utilityman Jurickson Profar, who has been reinstated after missing two weeks on the COVID-19 IL. To open space on the 40-man roster for Profar, reliever Drew Pomeranz was transferred from the 10-day to the 60-day IL.
Already reeling in the rotation due to injuries to Yu Darvish, Dinelson Lamet and Chris Paddack, San Diego signed Arrieta this week after he was released by the Cubs. The veteran right-hander made his first start as a Padre on Wednesday at Coors Field. He allowed five runs over 3 1/3 innings against the Rockies before departing due to the hamstring issue that today landed him on the shelf.
With Arrieta also out, San Diego will again have to try and piece things together behind Joe Musgrove, Blake Snell and Ryan Weathers. Reiss Knehr looks like one potential option for the back of the rotation, and the Padres also have Daniel Camarena on the 40-man roster as a pitcher capable of working into the middle innings. Fortunately, Darvish threw a bullpen session this afternoon, his first since landing on the IL last weekend (via AJ Cassavell of MLB.com).
Pomeranz’s transfer to the 60-day IL is nothing more than a procedural move. The southpaw is out for the season after it was determined he’s require surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon.
The only thing injured is his ego.
Lego my ego
And Boras said he was worth 200mil lol
Poor guy hurt himself yelling about masks?
Didn’t know about his anti-mask and anti-vax views. Even more reason not to like the guy.
Don’t not like people because of their views. You can dislike, even hate, his opinion but don’t turn that into disliking him. That’s flat out bigotry
The opinions a human adheres to are a pretty good indication of the human’s character…
Last week, Arrieta used his views in an attempt to bully a mask-wearing reporter. Bad pitcher. A worse human being. He didn’t offer an opinion. Just arrogant words because he didn’t like how someone else looked. Arrieta is a card-carrying bigot himself.
bigotry – Noun) obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction; in particular, prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.
Remember a time when pne’s political and religious views were looked at as private and not anyone else’s business?
We should bring that back so we don’t have to hear what you think of someone based on his personal beliefs on a certain issue.
He asked a reporter to take his mask off because he couldn’t hear him lol. I’d like to take a drag from yall’s peace pipe
Agreed.
Some people are anti mask and can provide scientists to back up their claims
Some people are pro masks and can provide scientists to back up their claims.
End of the day doesn’t really matter.
There’s very few things people generally agree on, domestic violence being one of the only i think we generally agree is unacceptable personal life, but other than that it’s silly to judge players based on personal feelings about topics just because they disagree with your viewpoints.
So pro mask means good person anti mask means bad person?
Not sure I entirely agree with that if that’s what you’re insinuating Hubcap.
Well that context helps then. Simply saying the guy doesn’t like masks or doesn’t want the vaccine doesn’t move my opinion of him one iota. Of course, I could care less about the guy in the first place so..
@Faith – wouldn’t say it makes them good or bad, but wearing it for others would be a selfless act in order to protect them as well. I’m fully vaccinated and fine, but still wear the mask to protect others – just in case I am. Do I like it? I don’t think anyone does. There needs to be some level of understanding and empathy as opposed to beating the drum of ones constitutional right. In Arietta’s case, it seemed as if he was ‘politely’ beating that drum.
Here’s a pro tip— it isn’t cool to form beliefs about a person based upon an immutable characteristic that they were born with. It is entirely cool to form a belief that a person is a douchebag for their behavior. Get it?
Everyone present for the incident with the reporter said they could hear him perfectly with the mask on. This douchebag was upset about his pitching that day so he told the reporter to take his mask off like a fifth grade bully. It got him released from his team despite his team having to still pay him millions of dollars and few options to replace him in the rotation. That is him being a bigger douchebag than you or I could ever hope to be. If I were as big of a douchebag in my job on the clock, I’d get zero dollars and my employer would similarly release me. You get it yet?
@Fletcher the truth doesn’t support their opinions so what good is it? They wanna burn him at the stake for not wearing a mask or for not wanting to get a shot that may or may not work for different people. I had Covid in March of 2020 and it was horrible. My chest was on fire for days, I had zero energy, didn’t sleep for days. The cough did a bunch of damage but I’ve had the flu worse multiple times throughout my life. Honestly it was a really bad cold just like the flu and just like the flu will kill elderly people and people with compromised immune systems. Pneumonia does that as well. Strep throat has put me down harder. I was hospitalized for Strep for over a week once. I can’t remember once in my lifetime being told I had to wear a mask to avoid getting any of those others sicknesses. I’m not anti vaccine I’m just not gonna act like a fool if someone chooses not to get it. People have their reasons who are any of us to question that?
I mean he’s also questioned vaccinations and has supported Trump so I think there is more to go on.
@rich I’d say it’s no longer private when Arrieta himself makes it well known publicly. It’d be pretty hard to keep some people’s beliefs and such private when they’re so vocally shouting them every chance they get.
A dumba@@ with a pen is more dangerous than a man with a tweet. I think we’re all realizing, as I knew we would, the dumpster fire that is blazing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Now, back to baseball.
Yeah, as long as you get your vaccinations and cash those economic recovery checks, right? The dumpster fire took place on 1/6 after a four year trainwreck. Run along, son. You’re embarrassing yourself with Trumpian garbage
It is pointless to have a conversation with antivaxxers. Just let Covid handle them.
I like this guy even more now. Thanks for the info you heroes.
Lol

So if your views differ with someone else’s views you hate them. Well that’s a mature attitude.
Being consistent with wearing a mask and awareness of others are logical choices that are being pushed ultimately because of how LITTLE is known about COVID-19, especially in wake of the ‘delta’ varient.
Anyone can provide percentages and statistics regarding the virus, but none of it will cover what isn’t yet known about the virus or what other varients a/o changes could come about.
What if a new mutation comes about with stronger vaccine resistance or one with a 50% chance of death? Or both?
There is also the chance that nothing changes, but seeing the nation shutdown last year means that it’s wise to tread these matters lightly.
Vaccine or no vaccine, mask up. It’s the least and might end up being the most you can/could do for yourself, your family, your friends, and the people around you.
Thankfully, with viruses, it is pretty rare for them to mutate to become more deadly… killing the host is generally bad for it’s own survival.
However, masking up with a cloth mask is merely a virtue signal.
If you really care about not spreading the virus, wear an n95 in public settings, wash your hands frequently, and stay home.
No I didn’t like him before as a Pirates fan. My prior dislike had nothing to do with his politics!
My views differ greatly with Hitlers views. Am I not supposed to hate him now?
Idiot.
Poor little feller. You should’ve done that he’s just a boy
ERA Injury
Unlike some of the libs in the comments, I couldn’t care less about his mask comments. However, getting injured right after singing is an awful look. How far he has fallen.
Covid only effects libs!
At least spelling affects us.
Except it wasn’t spelling – it was grammar.
I didn’t know about Arrieta’s singing. I imagine he’s big on those toe-tapping Ted Nugent ditties.
Misspelling an easy word on an online forum to own the libs
Haha that’s how these clowns think. It’s a liberal virus only!! So ridiculous.
Clearly you don’t get the joke.. In fact, you played right into the perceived pretentiousness of the left…
A rare thoughtful reply, with comment based in fact. I’m a conversative myself, but I don’t dislike liberal people. I dislike people who don’t think for themselves, and become sheep. You talk sensibly and for that, I respect you.
I got the vaccine and encourage others to do so. If you choose not to, that’s your choice.
Yes. Right on, my exact stance to the T
And that’s very fair. I respect anybody’s choice to get vaccinated, I only encourage people to make informed decisions and not let themselves be pressured one way or another.
Wrong!
Stop the spread and get back to “normal”!!
Mask up!
Better yet, stay home and wash your hands… Much more effective.
just stay home, hiding in mom’s basement. Plus, if you’re in Chicago, you’re less likely to be one of the 50-100 shot each weekend under Beetlejuice’s “leadership”
You lost me at ‘lib’, moron.
“Hey thanks for having me over. Do you mind if I use the IL?”
“No problem, Jake. Just be sure to leave a towel for Clev and the other boys hangin’ out at A.J.’s swimming hole.”
Padres won’t make the playoffs.
If so, the Curse of Winning the Offseason strikes again.
The Padres slump wont continue, they will pull back away from the Reds and Cards soon.
With what starting pitching?
Possibly the nicest thing Arrieta could have done for San Diego…
It’s probably safe to say the Padres won’t miss him after seeing his 1st start. They were hoping for an ERA over 6 and got over 10.
Humiliation, followed by what’s either a legit injury or his attempt to slink away…
Some people get EXACTLY what they deserve.
Makes me smile.
How does he deserve this?
He’s done, matter of fact he was done when he signed that ridiculous deal with the Phillies.
A little off topic but, where’s the guy who always comments on all of the Giants articles with a “LOL GIANTS?” Does he ever comment on his Padres articles? Just haven’t seen him post in a while, if he ever does other than to troll other teams.
Pretty sure that guy isn’t a real Padres fan, he’s just a troll. Probably lived in SF once and either got his car rear ended or his date stolen by someone wearing a Giants hat. Now he devotes his life to using one dumb phrase over and over again to hurt sensitive Giant fans
Jake’s at that point in his career when some of his best work is done on the IL.
Haha Padres pitchers going down like Spinal Tap drummers
Addition by subtraction.
Even as a Cubs fan … who happens to like rooting for what the Padres are doing …. Was a stupid signing from the get go.
He was released due to his lack of respect for a reporters personal decision, and he kept making excuses for his 6.88 ERA. He’s lost 5mph off his fastball since leaving the Cubs the first time. It’s pretty obvious to everybody else but him why he’s struggling.
Well, apparently not obvious to the Padres either…
Lots going on this thread.
Anyway.
Terrible luck the Padres are having with their rotation. Doesn’t even seem possible.
It does make me realize why Cashman routinely invests inordinate amounts of the Yanks payroll into the lineup & bullpen.
Just seems so hard to get starters through an entire season anymore. Man. Seems hard to get *8 or 10* starters through a season, now I think about it.
I miss Moose and Pettitte.
As do I.
& the Rocket. & Guidry. Boomer. Figueroa. Oh…Key, too…Tanaka… CC…well, yeah.
I get it.
Well, part of that is due to an increased injury rate this year after the shortened season last year.
In today’s world you have to have insane depth to get through a season with a winning record. Luck plays a big part of it, but somebody has to pitch, and when even the most mediocre guys can’t take the ball, I don’t know where you go from there
Hilarious
Hey, Cole, Wanna get a slushie?
Who’s buying?
Well, that didn’t take long…
Dang…..I was hoping he would pitch against the Phils this weekend.
His ability to pitch is injured, terminally injured. Fortunately his ability to be a smartass arrogant wanker is in top shape. Makes for a real nice clubhouse presence. Can’t pitch, can’t play, but mouth runs a mile a minute. Enjoy that SD!
It amazes me how everybody (Not us the fans) still thinks he is a good pitcher and make a big deal of his pilates yoga workouts, the guy plain out sucks.
Better signing
Arrieta by the Padres or Hamels by the Dodgers?
Well Arrieta did start a game at least. Even if it was horrible, they got a few innings out of him.
As a Cubs fan I vote for Arrieta…..the fact that the Cubs get ANY salary relief for whatever is prorated the rest of the season (contract or league minimum) makes me shake my head how people with so much money can openly waste it.
They are worth millions/billions and cry poor when they make stupid decisions.
LOL Pobres
