Riding pine Saturday
Salas isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.
Analiz
The lefty-swinging Salas will retreat to the bench for a second consecutive game while the Padres take on a tough southpaw in Carlos Rodon. Freddy Fermin will start at catcher and bat seventh.

Batting sixth in major-league debut
Salas will start at catcher and bat sixth in his major-league debut Wednesday in Cincinnati.
Analiz
Salas was among the Padres' September call-ups Tuesday and is set for his first start in the big leagues during Wednesday's series finale. The 20-year-old catcher has slashed .296/.374/.448 with 10 home runs, 17 stolen bases and a 47:58 BB:K over 96 games between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A El Paso this season. Salas is likely to see the bulk of the starts at catcher down the stretch for the Padres.

Officially promoted Tuesday
The Padres selected Salas' contract from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Analiz
The Friars' top prospect, Salas is joining the big-league club for his first look in the majors. The 20-year-old was promoted to the Triple-A level in late July and carried a hot bat in his 24 games at the highest level of the minors with a .326/.410/.539 slash line in 105 plate appearances. Salas should see plenty of reps behind the plate for the Padres down the stretch, with Freddy Fermin -- who is starting Tuesday in Cincinnati -- and Luis Campusano likely to mix in occasionally.
