The Padres have designated right-handed pitcher Jacob Nix for assignment.<\/p>\n

Nix, 23, had been on the 60-day injured lost after suffering a UCL year in spring training. He had spent the entire season rehabbing in the minor leagues.<\/p>\n

Recently Nix made national headlines when he attempted to enter a home near the Padres’ spring training complex in Peoria, Arizona, though a doggy door. Nix was tased and arrested during the fiasco claiming he was drunk and dropped off at the wrong house from an Uber along with minor leaguer Tom Cosgrove.<\/p>\n

At the time of the arrest Nix had been assigned to the Arizona Fall League’s Peoria Javelinas.<\/p>\n

Nix was 2-5 with a 7.02 ERA across 42 1\/3 innings at the major league level in 2018.<\/p>\n

The Padres now have seven days to trade, waive, release or outright Nix off the roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
