MLB Playoffs: Padres' Ethan Salas, Age 20, To Make Postseason History

Drives in three runs Sunday Fermin went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Sunday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Fermin matched a season high with three RBI in his 10th multi-hit effort of the campaign. The 31-year-old has seen his playing time dwindle of late, logging just 23 at-bats in September while Luis Campusano and Ethan Salas have seen much more action behind the dish. Fermin will end the regular season with a .203/.274/.315 slash line, four homers, 24 RBI, 22 runs and a stolen base across 96 games.

Playing time on downturn Fermin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Fermin will hit the bench for the third time in four games and looks like he'll be part of a three-way timeshare at catcher as the season winds down after the Padres recently called up top prospect Ethan Salas from Triple-A El Paso. Though he's a reliable defender behind the plate, he's mustered a lowly .563 OPS over 240 plate appearances on the season.

Playing time ticking up Fermin will start at catcher and will bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact The start for Fermin marks his fourth over the last six contests, as he may have inched back ahead of Luis Campusano in the Padres' catcher pecking order. Fermin is slashing .312/.323/.426 so far in the second half, though he's hit only one home run across 23 games.

Back on bench Wednesday Fermin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Fermin had started behind the plate in three of the previous four contests but will cede catching duties to Luis Campusano for the series finale at Citi Field. The two backstops are likely to be used in a near-even timeshare moving forward, with Fermin's defensive prowess allowing him to retain playing time despite Campusano having been the far more productive hitter.

Snaps power drought Saturday Fermin went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI In a 6-5 win against the Giants on Saturday.

Impact Fermin turned a one-run deficit into a one-run lead with a two-run blast in the fourth inning. He added another RBI with a single in the sixth. The backstop homered in three straight games in early June, but since then he had gone 20 straight contests without a long ball, batting a meager .191 with zero RBI during that span. Fermin has been splitting time with Luis Campusano behind the plate -- each player has started four of San Diego's past eight games.

Getting passed over by Campusano Fermin is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.

Impact Fermin started the first game of the series at catcher, but it's been Luis Campusano behind the dish the last two days. With just two starts to Campusano's four since he returned from the injured list, Fermin looks to have been passed on the Padres' catching depth chart.

Returns from IL The Padres reinstated Fermin (head) from the injured list Friday.

Impact Fermin has been on the shelf since July 3 with a head bruise but began playing in rehab games July 8 and has since gone 3-for-12 with a walk and two RBI in three contests. Now fully healthy, he'll return to the active roster for the start of the second half but will remain on the bench Friday while Luis Campusano starts behind the plate. Rodolfo Duran was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Begins rehab assignment Fermin (head) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday, going 1-for-4 with an RBI.

Impact Fermin served as the Chihuahuas' designated hitter, contributing an RBI single in one of his four trips to the dish. The 31-year-old is working his way back from a head bruise and is tracking toward being activated at the start of the second half.

JULY 4 • Associated Press

Lands on IL The Padres placed Fermin on the 10-day injured list Friday with a head bruise, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact It appears Fermin avoided a concussion after taking a foul tip off his mask Thursday, but he will ultimately still have to spend time on the IL, and the timing of the injury will keep him on the shelf through the All-Star break. Luis Campusano (toe) was reinstated from the injured list in a corresponding move and will presumably split reps behind the plate with Rodolfo Duran for the remainder of the first half.

JULY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Idle Friday Fermin (head) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Fermin was pulled from Thursday's game after taking a foul tip off his mask in the fifth inning, and he'll remain on the bench to begin Friday's contest. Rodolfo Duran will fill in as the Padres' catcher and bat ninth.
