Omar Cruz News: Returned to El Paso

Published on May 28, 2025

The Padres optioned Cruz to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

Cruz got his first big-league call Sunday since being optioned to El Paso on April 5, but the left-hander didn't take the mound during his three-game stint in San Diego. He'll cede his spot on the 26-man roster to make room for Kyle Hart to start Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
