The San Diego Padres have placed center fielder Manuel Margot on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right calf.

Margot's DL stint, retroactive to Thursday, comes after he left Wednesday's win over the New York Mets and was seen in a walking boot the next day.

The Padres' leadoff hitter, Margot is batting .259 this season with four home runs and 13 RBIs.

To replace Margot, the Padres recalled rookie outfielder Franchy Cordero from Triple-A El Paso.
