Padres' Tom Cosgrove: Optioned to Triple-A

The Padres optioned Cosgrove to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

The 26-year-old pitcher had a slim chance to make the Opening Day roster to begin with, but now he will officially be starting the year in the minors. Cosgrove recorded a 4.80 ERA and 1.23 WHIP through 30 frames in Triple-A last season.
