Padres Reacquire Burke From Mariners
Apr 22, 2014 11:24 AM
After learning that backup shortstop Everth Cabrera has a broken hand, the Padres moved to reacquire Chris Burke from the Mariners.
San Diego traded the utility player to Seattle just three weeks ago.
Cabrera will have surgery and be moved to the 60-day disabled list this week.
"We are currently exploring options for his replacement, both internally and externally," Padres general manager Kevin Towers said Monday, prior to the move. "Our hope is to have a replacement in uniform prior to [Tuesday's] game with the Giants."
