Heads to injured list The Padres placed Dahl on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right quadriceps strain.

Impact Dahl had been unavailable because of the quad strain over the past few games. The Padres will stash him on the IL for at least the next week, replacing Dahl on the 26-man active roster with utility man Brandon Dixon, who was called up from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move. Rougned Odor Jose Azocar, and Dixon will be the main candidates to pick up time in right field in place of Dahl until Fernando Tatis (suspension) is eligible to make his season debut April 20.

Dealing with quad injury Padres manager Bob Melvin told reporters before Saturday's game against Atlanta that Dahl is dealing with an upper quad injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact As Cassavell notes in his report, this helps explain why right field has essentially become a platoon between Rougned Odor and Jose Azocar over the past few games. The outfielder could be available off the bench in the coming days, but it's also possible Dahl's unavailability could lead to a stint on the injured list.

Not in lineup Thursday Dahl is not in the Padres' lineup Thursday at Atlanta.

Impact Rougned Odor will cover right field and bat eighth against right-handed starter Spencer Strider. Jose Azocar is also sitting.

Gets start in right field Tuesday Dahl is starting in right field and batting eighth for the Padres on Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Dahl hit a pinch-hit, game-tying solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning Monday to help the Padres to a 5-4 win over Arizona, and he'll be rewarded with a start in Tuesday's matinee versus the Diamondbacks and right-hander Zac Gallen. Jose Azocar and Rougned Odor are on the bench for this one.

Slugs clutch homer Monday Dahl hit a game-tying solo home run in the ninth inning of Monday's 5-4 win over Arizona.

Impact Rougned Odor started in right field for the Padres and was later replaced on defense by Jose Azocar. When Azocar's turn to bat came up in the ninth, manager Bob Melvin opted to go to Dahl, who came through with the game-tying bomb. It was the veteran's first hit as a Padre -- he went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in his previous two contests this season.

Sitting versus lefty Dahl is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact While Fernando Tatis (suspension) completes a 20-game ban to begin the season and while Adam Engel (hamstring) is on the shelf, Dahl looks like he may occupy the strong side of a platoon in right field. With southpaw Austin Gomber twirling for the Rockies on Sunday, the lefty-hitting Dahl will cede his spot to the righty-hitting Jose Azocar.

Signs minors deal with Milwaukee Dahl agreed to a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Tuesday.

Impact Dahl was released by the Rangers in early August after struggling to a .210/.247/.322 line in 63 games. He's had some effective seasons in the past with the Rockies and is still just 27 years old, so it's certainly possible he becomes a useful piece for the Brewers, but the last time he produced an above-average batting line was 2019, so expectations should remain low for now.

AUGUST 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches free agency The Rangers granted Dahl his unconditional release Wednesday.

Impact Texas dropped Dahl from its 40-man roster and exposed him to waivers, but none of MLB's other 29 teams were willing to scoop up the outfielder and assume the money remaining on his one-year, $2.7 million deal. Once a touted prospect in the Colorado system, Dahl has endured numerous injuries over the past few seasons that have stunted his development and sent his career on a downward trajectory. Even when he was healthy enough to play this season, the 27-year-old outfielder struggled mightily at the plate, slashing .210/.247/.322 with a 26.8 percent strikeout rate over 220 plate appearances. He's now free to look for a new opportunity with another organization.

DFA'd by Texas Dahl was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Monday.

Impact Dahl was designated for assignment by the Rockies during the offseason, and he didn't do enough in 63 games for the Rangers to warrant sticking with him for the rest of the season. The 27-year-old has a .569 OPS and 26.8 percent strikeout rate this season, and he has especially struggled against lefties with a .102/.156/.136 slash line.

AUGUST 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Monday Dahl is out of the lineup Monday against the Angeles.

Impact Dahl is 2-for-20 in his past seven games and will take a seat for the second time in the past three contests. Adolis Garcia will shift to right field while Eli White starts in center.

AUGUST 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against lefty Dahl will sit Saturday against Seattle.

Impact Dahl owns a miserable .105/.161/.140 slash line against southpaws this season, so it's hardly surprising to see him on the bench against lefty Tyler Anderson. Jason Martin, Eli White and Adolis Garcia will make up the Rangers' outfield.

JULY 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Wednesday Dahl isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Dahl has gone just 2-for-13 with three walks and five strikeouts across the last four games, and he'll get a breather with left-hander Madison Bumgarner starting for Arizona on Wednesday. Curtis Terry will serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh.

Has RBI, outfield assist in loss Dahl started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Detroit.

Impact Per usual, Dahl was in the lineup against a right-hander. In addition to the RBI, he also threw a runner out at home trying to score from second base on a single. Dahl is caught up in the outfield/DH shuffle and isn't playing every day.
