Ethan Salas Likely Out Until July With Lower-Back Stress Reaction
Ethan Salas (back) has a stress reaction in his lower back and will be out into July, per MLB.com's AJ Cassavell. However, the Padres are optimistic that simply resting will only be required for his recovery and that his development should not suffer, other than missing games. The 18-year-old Salas is the Padres' No. 2 prospect and is the No. 29 overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline. His production with Double-A San Antonio has not yet matched his hype, as he has slashed .188/.325/.219 with no home runs, five RBI, and two stolen bases in 41 plate appearances. Salas has been talked about in fantasy circles for some time now and plays a weak position, so fantasy managers in dynasty leagues or keeper leagues may want to hold onto him still if they can.
