Ethan Salas Sidelined as Healthy Scratch for NLDS Game 2
San Diego Padres rookie backstop Ethan Salas was a healthy scratch from the starting lineup for Game 2 of the NLDS against the Brewers as a manager's decision. Salas was initially penciled in to serve as the designated hitter after starting behind the plate in Game 1 and going 1-for-3 with a run scored. Manager Craig Stammen elected to start Gavin Sheets instead, leaving Salas fully healthy and available off the bench for Sunday's matchup in Milwaukee.
