Padres purchased the contract of SS Ronny Cedeno from High-A Lake Elsinore. Cedeno will provide shortstop depth for the Padres, who just lost Everth Cabrera to a 50-game PED suspension. Cedeno is doubtful to hold significant fantasy value.

Padres signed SS Ronny Cedeno to a minor league contract; assigned him to High-A Lake Elsinore. Cedeno was released by the Astros last Sunday after batting just .220/.260/.298 in 51 games. He'll serve as organizational infield depth for San Diego.

Astros released INF Ronny Cedeno. Cedeno had been designated for assignment a week ago. He shouldn't have trouble catching on elsewhere for the final two months of the season.

Astros designated SS Ronny Cedeno for assignment. Cedeno had just three hits over his last 33 plate appearances and was batting just .220/.260/.298 this season. The Astros have promoted Jonathan Villar to replace him on the active roster.

Ronny Cedeno (toe) finished 1-for-3 in his return to the Astros' lineup on Sunday afternoon. Cedeno had missed a handful of games because of a bruised left toe. He's batting .223/.264/.302 this season.

Ronny Cedeno went 0-for-3 on Tuesday and is in a 3-for-28 slump at the moment. He also committed his ninth error tonight. He has as many errors as RBI and more errors than extra-base hits (seven) or walks (three). His hold on a roster spot has to be pretty tenuous.

Ronny Cedeno (illness) went 1-for-3 with a strikeout in his return to action Friday. Cedeno missed time earlier this week with a sinus infection, but it's no longer an issue. He'll return to a part-time role at shortstop with Marwin Gonzalez.

Ronny Cedeno was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to a sinus infection. He should be OK in a day or two. Marwin Gonzalez is taking Cedeno's spot at shortstop.

Ronny Cedeno went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer Wednesday in the rout of the Mariners. Marwin Gonzalez's hot start has cut into Cedeno's playing time, but he made a bid for more at-bats with his first homer today. It'd be best for the Astros if Gonzalez solidified his hold on the starting job and turned Cedeno into a utilityman.
