Padres' Craig Stammen: Likely to retire
Craig Stammen (shoulder) told reporters Sunday that it's unlikely he ever pitches again, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.Stammen suffered a torn capsule in his right shoulder and strained his sub scapula Friday, and the injuries are related to the torn rotator cuff the right-hander suffered in 2022. He's been told that the recovery time would be four to six months without surgery, with an operation creating a longer rehab process. While Stammen may take some time before making an official announcement, it does seem likely that his playing career is over.

Padres' Craig Stammen: May have avoided major injury
San Diego Padres manager Bob Melvin said Saturday that Craig Stammen's shoulder injury isn't as serious as it initially appeared, and the reliever is expected to be reevaluated in a couple of days, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.When Stammen departed Friday's Cactus League contest with an injury that was later reported to be right shoulder discomfort, the fear was that he aggravated the issue that caused him to miss most of the second half of last season. While that may still be the case, Melvin's update Saturday at least offers hope that Stammen isn't in line for another extended absence. Even if he does bounce back quickly, there's no guarantee the veteran reliever will make the Opening Day roster, as he's currently on a minor-league deal.

Padres' Craig Stammen: Takes loss in spot start
Craig Stammen (1-2) took the loss against San Francisco on Wednesday, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three batters over three-plus innings.Mike Clevinger was originally lined up to start San Diego's regular-season finale, but he was pulled and placed on the IL due to an illness. Stammen stepped in and did what he could to preserve the San Diego Padres' bullpen a bit ahead of the wild-card series against the Mets that begins Friday, going a season-high three innings and tossing 69 pitches -- the most he's thrown in a game since 2010, per Dennis Lin of The Athletic. The right-hander held San Francisco scoreless through two frames but gave up a run in the third and four more in the fourth, with two crossing the plate after his departure. Stammen finished the regular season with a 4.43 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB over 40.2 innings. It's unclear if he'll be on the team's wild-card roster, but his lengthy outing Wednesday may indicate that he'll be unavailable for several days.
