The San Diego Padres have placed center fielder Manuel Margot on the 10-day disabled list with bruised ribs.

The move was announced before Wednesday's game at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies. Outfielder Franchy Cordero was activated from the disabled list in a corresponding move.

Margot, who was off to a slow start this season, sustained the injury during Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Rockies when he was hit in the ribs by a pitch.

Margot, 23, is batting .159 (7-for-44) in 11 games this season. He joins Padres slugger Wil Myers and starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet on the disabled list.
