PEORIA, Ariz. -- Left-hander Christian Friedrich, who led the Padres in starts last season, has been battling general arm soreness this spring, putting his status for the Opening Day roster in some doubt.
Friedrich is competing for one of two available rotation spots in camp. But Padres manager Andy Green said Friedrich felt "overall soreness from the shoulder down through the triceps through the elbow," following his most recent appearance on Friday against the Dodgers.
Green indicated that Friedrich simply hasn't felt right during the first month of camp. He missed his scheduled bullpen session on Sunday and will likely miss his next Cactus League appearance, as well.
