Darren Smith and John Gennaro talk for a bit about the San Diego Padres' injury issues. Jackson Merrill is on the 10-day injury list, Fernando Tatis Jr. left last night's game with another shoulder injury and Jake Cronenworth is still feeling that fastball to the ribs. How much should Padres fans be worrying?
