24 Cameron Maybin, CF

The Padres placed center fielder Cameron Maybin on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday, retroactive to June 10, with a left knee sprain.

Maybin was just reinstated from the disabled list on June 8 after missing six weeks of action due to a right wrist impingement. The new injury is expected to keep him out for a minimum of six weeks.

Maybin has hit .157/.232/.235 with one home run, five RBI, seven runs and four stolen bases in 51 at-bats.

Padres general manager Josh Byrnes confirmed the extent of outfielder Cameron Maybin's knee injury Tuesday, and the news isn't good. Maybin will miss a minimum of six weeks due to damage to the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, according to MLB.com. 

Maybin suffered the injury Sunday during the eighth inning on a diving catch, just four games after coming off the disabled list with a wrist injury. 

Maybin will be placed on the disabled list Wednesday, and a replacement has not been selected. 

Padres outfielder Cameron Maybin may need to return to the disabled list, just four games after returning from a nearly two-month absence. According to UT-San Diego, Maybin suffered damage to the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee Sunday.

Maybin reportedly suffered the injury while diving for a ball Sunday, and it is considered to be more of a bruise than a strain. Maybin was out of the starting lineup Monday and Tuesday as a result of the injury, and it is not clear when a decision might be made on whether he has to hit the DL. 

Padres outfielder Cameron Maybin has performed well since he came off the disabled list. 

Maybin was considered a sleeper candidate entering the year, but got off to a poor start and got injured. While he's only played four games since his return, Maybin already has more hits in June than he had in his 10 previous games this season.

Maybin has already swiped four bases since his return, and could start living up to some of his Fantasy promise. Maybin has hit well since making an alteration to his swing last season. If he continues to use that approach, he could still live up to expectations. 

Padres center fielder Cameron Maybin had a stand-out performance in his first game back from the disabled list Thursday against the Rockies, going 2 for 5 with one run, two RBI and his first two stolen bases of the season.

Maybin had just three hits in 33 at-bats before hitting the DL in mid-April, and he almost matched that total in San Diego's win. He also drew his third walk of the year and was caught stealing on a third attempt.
