Alfred/The San Diego Union-Tribune) By Nick Canepa Columnist Sept. The Padres will continue to be managed by bench coach Ryan Christenson during Melvin's absence. Padres manager Jayce Tingler looks on during a game against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday at Petco Park. The Padres have gotten off to a good start under his watch, amassing a 20-12 record entering play on Friday that had them positioned in second place in the National League West. Melvin, 60 years old, is in his first season at the helm of the Padres after spending the previous 11 years with the Oakland Athletics. SAN DIEGO - The Padres wanted a manager with experience, clout and a history of success. The San Diego Padres fired manager Jayce Tingler last week after he failed to take a team with a 185 million payroll to the postseason. Melvin is expected to miss the east-coast portion of that trip. The Padres kicked off a nine-game road trip on Friday night that will see them play three games apiece against the Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies, and San Francisco Giants. It wasnt all Tinglers fault, of course the Padres suffered from. Melvin has since been released from the hospital and is recovering at home. Nearly two weeks have passed since the San Diego Padres fired manager Jayce Tingler following a disappointing 2021 season.
The San Diego Padres announced on Friday that doctors found no cancer during the prostate surgery that manager Bob Melvin underwent on Wednesday, according to the Associated Press.
