Expected back Wednesday Hosmer is expected to return from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Hosmer has been on the COVID-19 injured list for five days after being deemed a close contact of someone who had tested positive for the virus, but the fact that he's ready to return within a week indicates he never tested positive for the virus himself. He should resume his role as the Padres' everyday first baseman once he returns.

Added to COVID-19 IL The Padres officially placed Hosmer on the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday.
Impact Hosmer's move to the IL was a formality after he was revealed Tuesday to have been a close contact of a person or persons who had tested positive for the virus. While the Padres wait for Hosmer to complete a quarantine period, the team could turn to Jake Cronenworth as its primary option at first base. He'll man the position in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Rockies, according to Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Out as close contact Hosmer was placed on the COVID-19 injured list as a close contact Tuesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 31-year-old went 1-for-4 with an RBI during Tuesday's win over the Rockies before being pulled from the contest. Wil Myers started in right field and was removed during the third inning after testing positive for the virus, with Fernando Tatis also producing a positive test earlier in the day. Hosmer joins Jurickson Profar and Jorge Mateo on the COVID-19 IL as close contacts, and all three should be able to return quickly if they can produce negative tests.
