It feels like it has been a long time since the name Carlos Asuaje has been brought up. He last appeared in a game for the San Diego Padres on May 19th, getting two or more at-bats in a game only three times throughout the entire month. May Padres fans be seeing him again, shortly?
In Sunday afternoon’s contest against the Cincinnati Reds, Padres third baseman Christian Villanueva took another foul ball off his ankle, causing him to leave the game. It was the second time he had done so on the weekend.
As reported by the San Diego beat staff, Villanueva was diagnosed with an ankle contusion (bruise).
