No cancer found after Padres manager’s surgery

The San Diego Padres on Friday said no cancer was found during manager Bob Melvin’s prostate surgery.

Melvin, 60, is out of the hospital and resting at home, the team said. He opted to have surgery Wednesday after saying he had been feeling symptoms since the team returned from a road trip last week.

Melvin had said he hoped to miss only the first six games of the team’s forthcoming nine-game road trip, which started Friday night in Atlanta and continues through Philadelphia and San Francisco.

Bench coach Ryan Christenson has been serving as interim manager during Melvin’s absence.

The Padres also said that third-base coach Matt Williams remained in COVID-19 protocol and hoped to rejoin the team Tuesday night.

First baseman Josh Naylor was added to the team’s COVID-19 injured list, marking the first player to be sidelined by the team’s recent outbreak. Pitching coach Carl Willis was slated to run the team Friday night at Minnesota after manager Terry Francona was among several coaches placed in health and safety protocols.

Dodgers

Los Angeles placed Clayton Kershaw on the injured list ahead of his scheduled start with inflammation in his right SI joint, which connects the base of the spine to the hip bones.

Mets

Catcher James McCann will be sidelined for approximately six weeks after he broke a bone in his left wrist.

The Mets said McCann needs surgery to repair his broken left hamate bone.

Trevor Bauer’s grievance hearing against Major League Baseball will begin May 23, a source said. Bauer was handed a 324-game suspension April 29 for violating MLB’s domestic violence policy, twice the amount of the previous longest suspension since the policy was implemented in August 2015. Bauer has firmly denied sexual assault allegations against him by as many as three women.
