Begins rehab assignment
Fermin (head) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday, going 1-for-4 with an RBI.
Analysis
Fermin served as the Chihuahuas' designated hitter, contributing an RBI single in one of his four trips to the dish. The 31-year-old is working his way back from a head bruise and is tracking toward being activated at the start of the second half.

Lands on IL
The Padres placed Fermin on the 10-day injured list Friday with a head bruise, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Analysis
It appears Fermin avoided a concussion after taking a foul tip off his mask Thursday, but he will ultimately still have to spend time on the IL, and the timing of the injury means he will be on the shelf through the All-Star break. Luis Campusano (toe) was reinstated from the injured list in a corresponding move and will presumably split reps behind the plate with Rodolfo Duran for the remainder of the first half.

Absent Friday
Fermin (head) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.
Analysis
Fermin was pulled from Thursday's game after taking a foul tip off his mask in the fifth inning, and he'll remain on the bench to begin Friday's contest. Rodolfo Duran will fill in as the Padres' catcher and bat ninth.
