INJURIES

Booted off 40-man roster The Padres designated Ornelas for assignment Tuesday.
Impact The club had to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Griffin Canning, whose signing was officially announced Tuesday. Ornelas did not appear to be in the Padres' immediate plans, but it's still a bit surprising that they elected to expose him to waivers. The 25-year-old outfielder went 1-for-14 during his brief time in the majors in 2025 but boasts a .291/.369/.465 batting line during his time at Triple-A El Paso.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Sent back to Triple-A The Padres optioned Ornelas to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
Impact The 25-year-old was called up by San Diego on April 19 and will return to El Paso after going 1-for-14 with two walks and two strikeouts in his first seven big-league games. Ornelas, who is one of the Padres' top prospects, could get another look in the majors later this year, but for now he'll head back to Triple-A, where he has a .281/.418/.359 slash line through 79 plate appearances this year.
MAY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Playing time slipping Ornelas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Impact Ornelas will hit the bench for the second day in a row, and his brief run as a regular in the San Diego lineup has likely come to an end with the recent returns of Luis Arraez and Jason Heyward from the injured list. The left-handed-hitting Heyward is unlikely to start against most left-handed pitchers, but since Ornelas also bats from the left side, the Padres are more likely to turn to the right-handed-hitting Oscar Gonzalez to serve as a platoon mate for Heyward.
APRIL 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled by San Diego The Padres recalled Ornelas from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.
Impact Ornelas wasn't able to crack the Padres' Opening Day roster despite a strong performance in spring training, but he'll make his way to the big club after Jason Heyward (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Ornelas started the Triple-A season slashing .281/.418/.359 with 13 walks, three stolen bases, 17 runs scored, one home run and seven RBI across 79 plate appearances. With Heyward sidelined, the lefty-hitting Ornelas could see some starts in the outfield in a platoon with Oscar Gonzalez.
APRIL 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Ticketed for minors Ornelas was optioned to minor-league camp Saturday.
Impact Ornelas had a chance to make the Padres' roster in a corner outfield spot, but the additions of Connor Joe and Jason Heyward made his path more difficult. Ornelas performed well by collecting 15 hits across 51 at-bats -- six of which went for extra bases -- so he should be in San Diego at some point in 2025.
MARCH 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Sizzling this spring Through nine Cactus League games, Ornelas is slashing .421/.522/.789 with a home run, two RBI, four runs, four walks and just one strikeout.
Impact Ornelas is one of San Diego's top prospects and is coming off a 2024 campaign during which he posted an .871 OPS with 23 homers and 93 RBI at the Triple-A level. That performance and his hitting this spring have given the soon-to-be 25-year-old a chance at breaking camp with the Padres, and the fact that he's already on the 40-man roster also helps his case. However, Ornelas' path to a roster spot is clouded by the Padres' Feb. 7 signing of two veteran outfielders -- Connor Joe and Jason Heyward -- to replace the departed Jurickson Profar.
MARCH 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Added to 40-man roster The Padres selected Ornelas' contract and optioned him to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.
Impact Ornelas has spent the entire 2024 season at El Paso, slashing .316/.390/.515 with 12 home runs and five stolen bases across 310 plate appearances. Though he'll remain with El Paso coming out of the All-Star break, the 24-year-old outfielder is now a part of the Padres' 40-man roster. The transaction should improve his chances of receiving his first big-league call-up at some point later this season.
JULY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Promoted to Triple-A The Padres promoted Ornelas to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Ornelas briefly appeared in Triple-A last season, going 3-for-14 with two RBI and two runs scored across three games. After slashing .273/.374/.449 with nine homers and 46 RBI over 289 plate appearances, he's now re-earned a spot in El Paso. Unless he catches fire in Triple-A, the 23-year-old outfielder will likely finish the season in the minors.
