Padres send down Ray Kerr to make room for Blake Snell

The San Diego Padres announced today that they’re sending reliever Ray Kerr down to Triple-A El Paso to make room for starting pitcher Blake Snell on the 26-man roster.

The #Padres have reinstated LHP Blake Snell from the 10-day IL and optioned LHP Ray Kerr to Triple-A El Paso.

Sending Kerr down to Triple-A isn’t a surprise considering he hasn’t pitched in any high leverage spots and San Diego has essentially added MacKenzie Gore and Nick Martinez to the bullpen this week.
