Hedges placed on DL with elbow tendinitis
Hedges' career-high 5-RBI game SAN FRANCISCO -- Padres catcher Austin Hedges was placed on the disabled list on Tuesday after he exited Monday's 6-5 loss to the Giants with tendinitis in his right elbow.

"It hadn't been that tight," Hedges said. "I'd been dealing with it for a while now, but it was nothing that I couldn't play through. Today was just a different story."
