Ethan Salas, San Diego’s top prospect and the only Padres player in MLB’s top 100, is skyrocketing—promoted from Double-A to Triple-A El Paso, where he’ll be the youngest player in the entire league. At just 20, he’s crushing it in San Antonio with 7 homers and 37 RBIs, leading his team in OBP despite a brutal league. After a back injury sidelined him last year, he bounced back with a hot April/May, cooled off briefly in June (and an oblique issue), but now he’s heating up again, hitting .320 in his last 16 games. With El Paso’s hitter-friendly park, he’s poised for a strong finish. Meanwhile, pitcher Jeremiah Estrada returns from injury, clearing a spot for Matt Waldron, who’s been designated for assignment.
