Padres: Another setback for promising outfielder Franchy Cordero

We all know injuries are part of the game, but what San Diego Padres outfielder Franchy Cordero has been going through just isn’t fair.

In a report from AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, he noted that Cordero “tweaked a glute muscle while rehabbing in Arizona.”

Cordero really broke out as a prospect in 2016 when he played in 137 games and moved three levels from High-A to Triple-A hitting a combined .290 with 11 home runs and a .344 OBP.

He backed that up by hitting .326 in Triple-A in 2017 with 17 home runs before making his Major League debut with the Padres.
