Manager Craig Stammen might have trouble finding room in the bullpen for German Marquez and Matt Waldron as well, as the Padres have one of the deepest bullpens in MLB.
Marquez, who is 31 years old, was placed on the 15-day IL on May 3 due to a nerve irritation in his right arm. Through six starts this season, the 11-year veteran owns a 5.76 ERA and 1.449 WHIP while recording 19 strikeouts.
Meanwhile, Waldron was just recently placed on the 15-day IL due to a right brachialis strain. When healthy, the 29-year-old right-hander has been less than stellar on the mound. In his six appearances on the mound, Waldron owns an 8.49 ERA and 1.714 WHIP with 22 strikeouts.
