Padres' Daniel Camarena: Re-ups with San Diego

The Padres re-signed Camarena on a minor-league contract Monday.

San Diego outrighted the lefty pitcher off its 40-man roster in October, but the Padres were pleased enough with the 29-year-old's work between two levels to keep him around in the organization. He had the opportunity to make his MLB debut in 2021, appearing in six games while giving up 10 earned runs on 16 hits and three walks in 9.1 innings. Camarena will likely join the big club for spring training, but he's expected to open the 2022 campaign with Triple-A El Paso.
