12 Yasmani Grandal, C

Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal, who is serving a 50-game suspension, will join Triple-A Tucson Saturday to begin a 10-day rehab assignment prior to his suspension ending May 28, according to U-T San Diego. Grandal has been sidelined all season and is expected to share catcher duties with Nick Hundley once active.

Padres catcher Nick Hundley did not have positive things to say about teammate Yasmani Grandal. 

Grandal is set to return from his suspension in three weeks, and could usurp the starting role from Hundley.

When asked about Grandal Wednesday, Hundley responded by calling out the young catcher. "You want to talk about a guy who is unproven and had a good couple months on steroids, go ahead."

Hundley added that he hasn't thought about losing playing time once Grandal comes back. Hundley is hitting .270/.302/.450 in 100 at-bats this year.

Manager Bud Black said both catchers will get playing time once Grandal returns. He said the starting job will be based on performance.
