Padres notes: Pomeranz progress could lead to opening day; Stammen injured; Soto heads to WBC Left-handed reliever, who missed entire 2022 season, pitches to hitters for second time; Outfielder Adam Engel will make Cactus League debut...
Craig Stammen - Departs due to shoulder issue Stammen is being evaluated for right shoulder discomfort, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact That's what led to him suddenly walking off the mound during Friday afternoon's Cactus League game against the Royals. And it is ominous news given that Stammen missed a large chunk of the second half last year due to what was diagnosed at the time as right shoulder inflammation.

Craig Stammen - Leaves appearance with injury Stammen was removed from a Cactus League appearance Friday against the Royals due to an apparent injury, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Hopefully it's not a recurrence of shoulder inflammation, which is what prompted his 60-day IL stay in the second half last season. The 39-year-old reliever re-signed with the Padres this winter on a minor-league contract with an invitation to major-league spring training.

Konnor Pilkington - Struggling with baserunners Pilkington has allowed five earned runs, 10 hits and four walks while striking out eight over 6.1 innings across three Cactus League appearances.
Impact The left-hander saw more time than initially expected in the majors last year, as he frequently served as a spot starter when the Guardians had to make up rained-out games. Pilkington did alright with a 3.88 ERA over 58 innings, but his 5.0 BB/9 was far too high to sustain that level of success. He would likely benefit more from starting at Triple-A Columbus to begin 2023, though he logged a 5.88 ERA and 1.51 WHIP across 56.2 innings in 2022 at that level. Barring injuries, the Guardians' five-man rotation is pretty much set, so Pilkington would likely be a reliever if he breaks camp with the team.
