Padres reassigned OF Forrest Wall and INF Niko Goodrum to minor league camp.
Neither Wall or Goodrum had a real shot at making San Diego’s season-opening roster, but they’re experienced emergency depth options at the Triple-A level.
Forrest Wall belted his second home run of spring action as the Padres fell to the Athletics on Thursday afternoon.
Wall greeted Jose LeClerc with a solo shot to lead off the third inning of this one, increasing the Padres’ early advantage to 2-0. He also bounced out to shortstop, finishing the afternoon 1-for-2. Given the Padres’ overall lack of depth in the outfield, Wall has a chance to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster with a strong showing in spring training — and starting off 5-for-10 (.500) with a pair of homers, four RBI and a stolen base is a great way to put himself in a position to do so.
Padres signed OF Forrest Wall to a minor league contract.
Wall gives San Diego some additional outfield depth entering spring training and is likely ticketed for Triple-A El Paso to open the year. The 29-year-old has gotten into 31 games at the big-league level over the past two seasons between the Braves and Marlins, batting .311/.380/.422 with one homer and nine steals in 50 plate appearances.
Orioles outrighted OF Forrest Wall to Triple-A Norfolk.
Wall was designated for assignment and went unclaimed. The 28-year-old remains in the organization, but will need to be added to the 40-man roster in order to rejoin the major-league roster.
