Padres' Bryce Johnson: Sent to Triple-A

The Padres optioned Johnson to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

With Fernando Tatis back from the 60-day injured list, Johnson will lose hold of his short-side platoon role in the San Diego outfield and head back to El Paso. He should play on a near-everyday basis at Triple-A and stay ready in case another opportunity with the Padres presents itself.
