Padres' Jacob Nix: Heads to MiLB camp

The Padres reassigned Nix (elbow) to minor-league camp Wednesday.

Nix sustained an apparently serious right elbow injury last week that could require Tommy John surgery, so his demotion to minor-league camp was merely a formality. If he does in fact need the procedure, he'll be sidelined for all of the 2021 season and a good portion of the 2022 campaign as well.
