The San Diego Padres placed catcher Freddy Fermin on the 7‑day concussion list, sidelining him for a week and forcing the team to find a catcher replacement. Fermin had appeared in 45 games this season, providing solid defense and contributing offensively with a respectable batting average.
Manager Dave Roberts said the club will evaluate internal options and may consider a short‑term trade to cover the vacancy. The move comes as the Padres prepare for a three‑game road trip, testing the depth of their catching roster.
Padres officials remain optimistic about Fermin's recovery and expect him back on the field once cleared by medical staff.
