Recalled Friday Rooker was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

Impact The 27-year-old hasn't yet appeared in any major-league games this year, but he'll join the Padres as outfield depth after Jurickson Profar (concussion/neck) was placed on the injured list. Rooker has slashed .279/.401/.596 with 14 homers, 45 runs, 44 RBI and four stolen bases over 49 games in El Paso this year.

Returns to minors The Padres optioned Rooker to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Impact Rooker's stint with the Padres lasted just one day after he didn't appear in either game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Rockies when he was called up to serve as the club's 27th man. He still has yet to make his San Diego debut.

Brought up as 27th man Rooker will serve as the Padres' 27th man in Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

Impact Rooker spent a couple days on the big-league roster earlier this season, and he will be available for a couple more games.

JUNE 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back to Triple-A Rooker was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact He didn't appear in a game during this brief two-day stint with the big club. Rooker is hitting .242/.357/.568 with nine home runs and 37 strikeouts in 26 games at Triple-A.

Padres pregame: Wil Myers (knee) to injured list, Brent Rooker up from El Paso Wil Myers had sat four of five days with discomfort in his right knee before Padres put him on the injured list Friday

JUNE 3, 2022 • SANDIEGOUNIONTRIBUNE.COM

Called up Friday Rooker was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

Impact He takes the place of Wil Myers, who was placed on the injured list with knee inflammation. Nomar Mazara should start in right field against righties, but Rooker could occupy the short side of a platoon in the short term. He hit .242/.357/.568 with nine home runs and 37 strikeouts in 26 games at Triple-A.

Comes off IL Rooker (shoulder) returned from Triple-A El Paso's 7-day injured list Tuesday and went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in the affiliate's 11-7 win over Sacramento.

Impact He was sidelined for just over three weeks with the shoulder injury. The 27-year-old is slashing .222/.364/.593 through eight games at El Paso this season.

MAY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out with shoulder injury Triple-A El Paso placed Rooker on its 7-day injured list April 19 with a shoulder injury, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact After being acquired from the Twins on April 7, Rooker hit .227 with a pair of home runs over his first seven games with El Paso, but he hasn't played since April 17 on account of the injury. The timing of the move to IL is a particularly disappointing development for Rooker, who likely would have been summoned to the Padres' taxi squad Wednesday after outfielder Wil Myers aggravated a thumb injury in Tuesday's win over the Reds. If Myers is moved to the IL, the Padres appear set to call up Trayce Thompson from El Paso to burnish the club's outfield depth.

Beer's blast in 9th lifts Diamondbacks over Padres 4-2

Optioned to minors The Padres optioned Rooker to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

Impact Rooker won't immediately report to the big club after the Padres acquired him earlier in the day in a four-player deal with the Twins. He'll get the opportunity to play on an everyday basis at El Paso, and his presence on the 40-man roster should put him near the top of the list for a promotion when the Padres require another corner outfielder or right-handed bat off the bench.

Impact Since they were planning to keep Kyle Garlick over Rooker on the Opening Day roster as a reserve outfielder/designated hitter, the Twins will cash out on the latter in an effort to bolster their pitching staff. With the move to San Diego, Rooker may face a similar difficult path to earning a bench role on the Opening Day roster, but since he has two minor-league options remaining, the Padres are likely content to keep him around as organizational outfield depth at Triple-A El Paso. Rooker logged 213 plate appearances in the majors for Minnesota in 2021, slashing .201/.291/.397 with nine home runs and 16 RBI.

Returns to lineup Rooker (shoulder) is starting Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

Impact Rooker will be back in action following a brief absence due to a right shoulder strain. It doesn't appear as though his injury will impact his status for Opening Day.

APRIL 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with shoulder strain Rooker was scratched from Thursday's Grapefruit League lineup against Tampa Bay due to a right shoulder strain, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Rooker has appeared in four games to begin spring training, and he's gone 0-for-8 with a walk and four strikeouts. Derek Fisher will take his place in left field and bat eighth Thursday, while Rooker is considered day-to-day.
