Matt Batten Being Called Up By Padres
The San Diego Padres will be calling up infielder Matt Batten from Triple-A, according to Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune. The move hasn't officially been made yet and the team will need to clear a player from the 40-man roster to open up a spot for Batten. The 27-year-old is ranked as the 26th overall prospect in the Padres' organization by MLB Pipeline. He's had a fantastic year at Triple-A, slashing .299/.399/.505 with 10 home runs, 13 stolen bases, 31 RBI and 50 runs over 59 games. He's played all four infield positions as well as left field and center field this year, so he'll give the Padres some nice positional versatility.
