Ethan Salas Dealing With Back Spasms
San Diego Padres catching prospect Ethan Salas has been out of action for Double-A San Antonio since April 17 due to back spasms. The Padres' second-ranked prospect "has returned to both swinging a bat and throwing from behind the plate," so he appears to be nearing a return. Through 10 games played this season, the 18-year-old has gone 6-for-32 (.188) with just one extra-base hit, but has stolen two bases and owns a 6:5 BB:K in 41 plate appearances. As the youngest player at Double-A, it's not a surprise to see some early struggles at the plate, but look for him to gain some momentum later in the year. MLB's 30th-ranked prospect is still a couple of years away from a debut, but he remains a talent that dynasty managers should be keeping an eye on.
