The Padres are probably going to put IF/OF Jerry Hairston on the 15-day D.L. soon as he will likely need to rest his strained right elbow for a couple of weeks. Hairston has played in 115 games for the Padres this year and he is 104 of 417 (.249 avg, .667 OPS) with 52 runs scored, 10 homers, 50 RBIs and 9 stolen bases. The thing the Padres will miss the most about Hairston is his versatility as he can play all over the field.

UPDATE: (8/29/2010) - The Padres have placed Jerry Hairston on the 15-day D.L. They have recalled Everth Cabrera to replace him on the roster. Cabrera played in 64 games earlier this year for the Padres and he was 40 of 196 (.204 avg, .558 OPS) with 19 runs scored, 1 homer, 22 RBIs and 8 stolen bases. The Padres need Cabrera to play better this time around.
