Luis Patiño, following Tommy John surgery, has been re-signed by the Padres to a minor league contract, enabling his recovery as he aims to return for the 2025 season.
Despite once being a top pitching prospect, Patiño has struggled at the major and minor league levels. He has a 5.02 ERA across 136 1/3 major league innings, with a 20.2% strikeout rate.
Re-signing Patiño allows the Padres to retain his potential without occupying a 40-man roster spot while he recovers from surgery and works his way up.
With the timeline from his surgery, Patiño is unlikely to be game-ready until the halfway point of the 2025 season, potentially starting his time in Triple-A.
