The San Diego Padres have optioned Jedd Gyorko to Triple-A.

The 26-year-old has seen limited playing time, but it's a surprise to see him moved to the Minor Leagues.

The Padres signed Gyorko to a six-year, $35 million extension before the 2014 season.

Most of that contract is due after this year, and it comes with a $13 million option for 2020.
