Miller remains in concussion protocol.<\/p><p>Paplham, ranked as San Diego&rsquo;s No. 23 prospect in 2024, had been showing promise as a potential bullpen arm. Last season, he posted a 4.82 ERA with 11 strikeouts over 9.1 innings while leading the Padres&rsquo; farm system in saves.<\/p><p>For a team already dealing with a depleted farm system due to aggressive trades in recent years, losing a top relief prospect is another tough hit. While the full extent of Paplham&rsquo;s injury is yet to be determined, the Padres can only hope this isn&rsquo;t another major setback.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post
