Cowgill (rib) went 1-for-3 with a run scored in the Padres' Cactus League game against the Giants on Saturday.
Cowgill had been sidelined for the previous two weeks with rib-cage tightness, which has effectively taken him out of the running for a reserve gig in the outfield. Look for him to be reassigned to minor-league camp in the coming days and open 2017 with Triple-A El Paso.
