Luis Campusano Starts Rehab Assignment
5 months agoSan Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano (thumb) went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts as the designated hitter in his first minor-league rehab game with Single-A Lake Elsinore on Monday night. It wasn't a great first rehab game for Campusano, but all that really matters is that he's back to playing in games as he rehabs his thumb injury. The 25-year-old will probably need to catch a few games down on the farm before the Padres feel comfortable reinstating him from the 10-day injured list. The Friars also probably aren't in a rush to do so after Kyle Higashioka went on a homer binge with eight long balls in the month of June with more playing time due to Campusano's injury. Campusano started the year off strong but hit a rough patch in May before his injury, so it's possible he and Higashioka have a more even playing time split when he returns to the big-league roster.
