According to Dennis Lin of UT-San Diego, Patton felt soreness in his left shoulder two or three days ago and began to feel serious pain last night. While Patton didn’t necessarily need to go on the DL , the Padres needed to make room for Jesse Hahn and placing Patton on the Dl allows him to fully recover from his shoulder soreness. Patton pitched an inning in relief Friday night in the San Diego Padres 5-0 loss to the Mets.
