The Padres option Francisco Mejia to their alternate training site.

Fantasy Impact

Mejia has had another rough season at the plate, hitting .077 with one homer in 17 games. The former top prospect might no longer be seen as the backstop of the future in San Diego. Eric Hosmer (finger) was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move.

It's unclear how much playing time he'll get moving forward. The Padres acquired both Austin Nola and Jason Castro while he was sidelined. He's certainly not on the fantasy radar the rest of the way.

The Padres placed Francisco Mejia on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb contusion.

Francisco Mejia went hitless in three at bats in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact

Mejia is hitting an alarming .088/.162/.206 so far this year. He's supposed to be the "offensive" option between him and Austin Hedges, so this certainly isn't good for his projected playing time moving forward.
