Garces could be in line to be the Padres' left-handed specialist following Monday's trade of Alex Torres, MLB.com's Corey Brock reports.

Analysis:

Garces has allowed two runs on eight hits and three walks over nine innings of work this spring. He won't be in the running for the closer's job, but will likely slot in as the left-handed specialist in San Diego's predominantly right-handed bullpen.
