A moment the San Diego Padres envisioned more than three years ago is finally coming to fruition.
Former Missions catcher Ethan Salas, the No. 1 overall prospect in the San Diego organization, was called up on Tuesday from Triple-A El Paso, the team announced.
We have selected the contract of C Ethan Salas from Triple-A El Paso, recalled RHP Jhony Brito from El Paso, and transferred INF/OF Luis Rengifo to the 60-day IL.
If Salas makes his Major League debut Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds, he would be the youngest player to appear in an MLB game as catcher since 1991, per MLB's Sarah Langs.
Salas began the season in San Antonio and played in 72 games for the Missions this season. He slashed .286/.361/.417 with 74 hits, seven home runs, 37 RBIs and 41 runs with San Antonio this year. It was just over a month ago when Missions manager Chris Tremie broke the news to Salas that he would be sent up to Triple-A El Paso on July 29.
