Padres place Manuel Margot on DL

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.
