Padres sent INF Jeudy Valdez outright to Triple-A Tucson.
Valdez was designated for assignment last week to make room for the newly-claimed Fautino De Los Santos. He's cleared waivers, though, and will be in big league camp as a non-roster invitee. The 23-year-old infielder batted .225/.273/.364 with 12 homers and a .637 OPS last season with Double-A San Antonio.
