Cordoba was one of three Rule 5 draft picks the Padres retained on their 25-man roster, MLB.com's AJ Cassavell reports.

The club elected to keep both Luis Sardinas and Cordoba as backup infielders. The former figures to be the club's primary infield backup, but the latter could see the occasional spot start in the outfield. The 21-year-old's addition to the 25-man roster was clearly a move made by San Diego in an effort to protect the Rule 5 draft pick from being offered back to the Cardinals. There isn't much to see here from a fantasy perspective quite yet.
