Sent to minor-league camp The Padres reassigned Avila (elbow) to minor-league camp Wednesday.
Impact Though he's believed to have recovered from his August 2019 Tommy John surgery, Avila didn't appear for the Padres in Cactus League play prior to his demotion. The 24-year-old made his big-league debut for San Diego in 2019 before going under the knife, tossing 5.1 innings of one-run ball in his lone spot start for the Padres. Assuming he's healthy again, Avila will likely begin the 2021 campaign at Double-A San Antonio or Triple-A El Paso.

Heads to MiLB camp The Padres reassigned Nix (elbow) to minor-league camp Wednesday.
Impact Nix sustained an apparently serious right elbow injury last week that could require Tommy John surgery, so his demotion to minor-league camp was merely a formality. If he does in fact need the procedure, he'll be sidelined for all of the 2021 season and a good portion of the 2022 campaign as well.
