Rienzo signed a minor league deal with the Padres on Tuesday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
He hasn't had much success at the major league level (5.90 career ERA), but the right-hander did manage to post a strong 2.51 ERA and 9.3 K/9 with the Marlins Triple-A affiliate last season. Rienzo has a decent chance of landing a spot on the major league roster at some point during the 2017 season due to the lefty-heavy nature of the Padres bullpen, although he likely won't be trusted in a fantasy-relevant role given his past numbers.
