Padres' Max Schrock: Lands in San Diego
Max Schrock (kneecap) agreed Monday with the San Diego Padres on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.A calf injury and a fractured right kneecap limited Schrock to just 33 appearances between the majors and the Triple-A level in 2022, but the Padres are seemingly hopeful that he'll be ready to go by spring training. The 28-year-old has yet to gain much traction as a full-time utility player in the majors, but he has the ability to play all over the diamond as well as the corner outfield and has demonstrated excellent bat-to-ball skills during his time in the minors. Even if he fails to win a spot on the Friars' Opening Day roster, Schrock should at least make for strong organizational depth at Triple-A El Paso.

The fractured kneecap along with a calf injury suffered in spring training limited Schrock to just 33 total games between the majors and Triple-A Louisville in 2022.

Reds' Max Schrock: Heads back to minors
The Cincinnati Reds optioned Max Schrock to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.The Reds should get at least one of Mike Moustakas (illness) or Albert Almora (illness) back from the COVID-19-related injured list coming out of the All-Star break, so Schrock's demotion will open up a spot for a corresponding transaction. During his four-day stint with Cincinnati, Schrock went 0-for-2 while appearing off the bench in two games.

Reds' Max Schrock: Rejoins parent club
The Cincinnati Reds recalled Max Schrock from Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.Schrock will make his return to the big club after Mike Moustakas was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list just over two hours before the Reds' series finale with the Yankees. Based on the timing of his placement on the IL, Moustakas is likely to miss the Reds' three-game weekend series in St. Louis, but Schrock is expected to serve as a depth option on the bench rather than a direct replacement in the lineup for Moustakas.

He isn't starting Friday's game against the Brewers and isn't likely to be the primary option at any given position, but his defensive versatility should allow him to carve out playing time now that he's back to full health.

Reds' Max Schrock: Begins rehab assignment
Max Schrock (calf) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.Schrock has been out all season after straining his left calf late in spring training. He'll be eligible to return from the 60-day injured list next Saturday, though it's unclear if the length of his absence will require a longer rehab assignment. There's also no guarantee he immediately joins the active roster once healthy. There are plenty of spots available on a Cincinnati Reds roster that has recorded the worst record in the league thus far, but Schrock's 93 wRC+ in 64 career major-league games makes him far from a lock to earn one.
