Feeling effects of flu Stammen's placement on the COVID-19-related injured list Tuesday was the result of him experiencing flu-like symptoms, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Since Stammen hasn't tested positive for the virus and was merely placed on the IL as a precaution, he'll be eligible to rejoin the Padres before the season ends Sunday.

Hurls 3.2 scoreless frames Stammen hurled 3.2 scoreless innings in relief Sunday against St. Louis, allowing two hits and striking out three.
Impact Stammen pitched way earlier than he would've expected it since Jake Arrieta (groin) only recorded one out before departing the contest. This was a sort of bounce-back effort for the 37-year-old, as he had given up runs in two of his previous three outings while pitching at least three frames for the first time since mid-April. Stammen owns a 2.89 ERA through seven appearances (9.1 innings) this month.
