The San Diego Padres will begin the 2025 MLB season missing two bullpen depth pieces due to different injuries.
Padres: Bryan Hoeing & Sean Reynolds both sidelined
According to 97.3 The Fan’s Sammy Levitt, the Padres will be without right-handers Bryan Hoeing and Sean Reynolds for Opening Day (via Gabe Smallson of San Diego Padres on SI).
“Mike Shildt says he doesn’t expect either RHP Bryan Hoeing or RHP Sean Reynolds to break camp with the Padres,” Levitt reported Saturday morning. “Reynolds is still in a rest period while recovering from a stress reaction in his right foot, while Hoeing remains in the recovery process for a sore right shoulder.”
Padres will have to battle without both talents
Hoeing delivered an impressive performance out of the Padres’ bullpen in 2024. The 28-year-old appeared in 18 games, finishing one, and posted an outstanding 1.52 ERA with a 0.803 WHIP.
Between his time with the Padres and the Miami Marlins, Hoeing wrapped up the season with 43 strikeouts and a 2.18 ERA, positioning himself as a reliable arm for San Diego once he returns.
Meanwhile, Reynolds, 26, made a strong impression in his rookie season, recording a stellar 0.82 ERA with 21 strikeouts over just 11 innings in nine appearances. His early success has given the Padres confidence that he can develop into a dependable and formidable presence on the mound when he’s back in action.
