Padres general manager A.J. Preller said Monday that Salas has been diagnosed with a stress reaction in his lower back and is expected to remain out until July, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Salas was placed on Double-A San Antonio's 7-day injured list at the beginning of May due to back spasms, but after further evaluation, the young catcher has been revealed to be dealing with a more significant injury. Cassavell notes that the team is hopeful Salas will be ready to resume playing in about two months after treating the back injury with rest and rehab.
