SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Padres have placed first baseman-outfielder Wil Myers on the 15-day disabled list with left wrist tendinitis.

The move was made Tuesday, retroactive to May 11. To take Myers’ roster spot, the Padres recalled right-hander Cory Mazzoni from Triple-A El Paso.

Myers, obtained from Tampa Bay in the off-season, is hitting .291 with five homers and 19 RBIs.

It’s the second stint with the Padres for Mazzoni, who made his big league debut on April 27 against Houston.
