Hedges was placed on the 7-day, minor league DL on Saturday due to a hand contusion, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
After Christian Bethancourt won the backup catching gig to Derek Norris this spring, Hedges was assigned to Triple-A El Paso, where he's spent the entirety of the season. Prior to the injury, Hedges put together a .333/.385/.583 line with two homers, nine RBI, and seven runs in 36 at-bats.
