Padres sign OF Austin Hays, send Gage Workman to Triple-A
San Diego Padres have signed outfielder Austin Hays and sent infielder Gage Workman to Triple-A El Paso. Hays, 31, has been sidelined due to various injuries and only appeared in 12 games for the Chicago White Sox this season. He is currently batting .233 with a home run and seven RBIs. The Padres' manager, Craig Stammed, describes Hays as a valuable bench bat who excels against left-handed pitching and can occasionally start in left field.
