Padres' Cole Paplham: On mend from Tommy John surgery
Paplham, who last pitched for Double-A San Antonio on June 19 before being placed on the 60-day injured list, underwent Tommy John surgery earlier this summer, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.
Paplham presumably had his procedure at some point in July and will most likely miss all of the 2025 season. The right-handed relief prospect has shown some promise during his minor-league career with 47 strikeouts and just two home runs allowed over 39.1 career innings, but he'll be 26 years old by the time he's back to full health in spring training of 2026.
