Padres Promote Jagger Haynes To Triple-A El Paso

The recent stretch of good outings has earned left-handed starter Jagger Haynes a trip to El Paso.

The 23-year-old was promoted from the Double-A San Antonio Missions to the Triple-A El Paso Chihuahuas before Tuesday's series opener against the Las Vegas Aviators.

Haynes, Padres Mission's No. 13 prospect, has a 4.37 ERA in 18 starts for the Missions, with a 10.2% walk rate, the best of his career, and a 21.2% strikeout rate, which is the worst of his career. In his most recent start Friday, Haynes struck out eight over six innings, allowing a run on three hits and a walk. Haynes was the Padres' fifth-round draft choice in 2020 out of West Columbus High School in North Carolina.

Also on the move before series began Tuesday were right-handed reliever Jose Leclerc, whose rehab assignment was transferred from the Arizona Complex League to High-A Fort Wayne, left-hander Igor Gil moving up from Fort Wayne to San Antonio and right-hander Ryan Och being placed on the seven-day injured list.
