Padres' Bryce Johnson: Sent to Triple-A
The San Diego Padres optioned Bryce Johnson to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.With Fernando Tatis back from the 60-day injured list, Johnson will lose hold of his short-side platoon role in the San Diego outfield and head back to El Paso. He should play on a near-everyday basis at Triple-A and stay ready in case another opportunity with the Padres presents itself.

Padres' Bryce Johnson: Settling into weak side of platoon
Bryce Johnson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.After getting called up from Triple-A El Paso on June 24, Johnson started in the San Diego Padres' ensuing seven games, but he went just 4-for-21 with three walks over that stretch. He's now hit the bench in five straight contests -- all against right-handed pitching -- with the left-handed-hitting David Peralta having seemingly taken hold of a strong-side platoon role in right field. The switch-hitting Johnson should still pick up regular starts versus left-handed pitching and could frequently be called upon to serve as a late-inning replacement for Peralta.

Padres' Bryce Johnson: Signs with SD
Bryce Johnson signed a minor-league contract with the San Diego Padres on Dec. 21.Johnson has slashed .148/.209/.213 across 67 plate appearances in his major-league career, but his .828 Triple-A OPS from last season is enough for San Diego to take a chance on him. Johnson should have a chance to make the Padres' Opening Day roster based on the team's lack of outfield depth, but the 28-year-old will most likely begin the year at Triple-A El Paso.
