Double-A San Antonio placed Salas on its 7-day injured list Saturday due to back spasms, MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Padres have deemed Salas' absence from game action as precautionary, and the 18-year-old has been swinging and throwing at the team's spring complex, so the back issue doesn't appear to be serious. Salas began the season with San Antonio and slashed .188/.325/.219 with five RBI, five runs, two stolen bases and a 6:5 BB:K over 41 plate appearances before being shelved.
