Padres' Parker Markel: Demoted to minor-league camp

The Padres reassigned Markel to minor-league camp Wednesday.

Markel was one of five non-roster invitees with prior MLB experience that was among the latest wave of cuts from Padres camp. He made 20 relief appearances between the Pirates and Mariners in 2019, giving up 19 runs on 26 hits and 17 walks over 22 innings. Expect him to report to Triple-A El Paso or Double-A San Antonio when the minor-league season gets underway.
