7 years agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe was placed on the disabled list over the weekend with right elbow inflammation. With outfielders Wil Myers (elbow) and Manuel Margot (ribs) returning last weekend, Renfroe will have an opportunity to rest the lingering injury. Renfroe was slashing .200/.281/.440 with two homers and 10 RBI prior to going down. His walks are up this year but he still strikes out too often (28 percent) to support a high average. The main beneficiary of Renfroe's absence is outfielder Franchy Cordero, who should stay with the big league club for at least another week. Cordero also suffers from a lot of strikeouts (33 percent) but sports a .796 OPS and has gone yard three times with two steals in 40 plate appearances this year.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
