SAN DIEGO -- Deep in a rebuilding mode, the San Diego Padres on Wednesday welcomed the first wave of top prospects that they hope will help form their core in the near future.The Padres called up catcher Austin Hedges, infielder Carlos Asuaje and outfielders Manuel Margot and Hunter Renfroe from Triple-A El Paso.After a day to get acclimated, those four will be in the starting lineup on Thursday night when the Padres open a four-game home series against the San Francisco Giants, who are fighting for a postseason berth.They have every opportunity to become a part of our core, manager Andy Green said before the Padres played the Arizona Diamondbacks in the finale of a three-game series. I think thats the message that should be out there right now. Were hopeful that theyre our core group of guys. When you think about talent arriving at this level, theyre our first wave, and how they perform on this field will determine how much of the core they are going forward, and there will be another wave of talent coming behind them. I think most of our talent after you get past this wave, a lot of it is down at the lower levels. Theyre going to have time and opportunity to perform.The four prospects helped El Paso win the Pacific Coast League championship. The Chihuahuas lost to International League Scranton-Wilkes-Barre in the Triple-A showdown on Tuesday night in Memphis.The Padres, who will miss the playoffs for the 10th straight season, have retrenched with youth after failing to win with several veterans obtained in a wild spree of trades and signings after the 2014 season. They loaded up then with Matt Kemp, Justin and Melvin Upton, James Shields, Wil Myers, Derek Norris and Craig Kimbrel.Only Myers, a first-time All-Star, and Norris remain. Justin Upton left as a free agent after last season and Kimbrel was traded to Boston. Kemp, Melvin Upton and Shields were traded this season in a salary dump.Asuaje and Margot were among the four prospects the Padres got from the Red Sox for Kimbrel in November.Renfroe was the teams first-round draft pick in 2013. Hedges was a second-round pick in 2011.The Padres also loaded up on international signings during the summer.Hedges made his major league debut in 2015, playing in 56 games, including 41 behind the plate.Its the first career callups for Margot, Renfroe and Asuaje.Its great for them. This is where theyve tried to be their entire life and theyre finally here, Green said. Their phones are blowing up right now. Theres 1,000 distractions for them to not pay attention to. They need to go about playing baseball. Every bit of experience at this level is useful. It will also kind of give us a little bit of a road map for the offseason.The Padres entered Wednesday nights game in fourth place in the NL West at 64-87, 21 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers.San Diego will finish with its sixth straight losing season. It has had only two winning seasons since making consecutive postseason appearances in 2005 and 2006.The Padres also called up left-handers Buddy Baumann and Jose Torres from El Paso.Last week, Major League Baseball suspended Padres general manager A.J.

MORITZ, Switzerland -- Fog prevented downhill racers from getting their Olympic dress rehearsal.Mark Wood has been ruled out of Englands tour to India after the discovery that he bowled at the tail end of the English domestic season with a broken ankle.It all means that Wood faces a third ankle operation within a year and, however optimistic the prognosis, it is bound to cast doubts on the resilience of Englands fastest bowler and invite concerns about his career both at county and England level.Wood had already been ruled out of the one-day and Test series in Bangladesh and his hopes of recovering in time for the India tour were banished when it was discovered that he fractured a bone in his left ankle when bowling in a Specsavers County Championship match against Surrey in September.With Durham under threat of relegation, he chose to ignore warning signs that something was wrong and battled on gamely. Durham stayed up, but it all came to naught when the ECB relegated them anyway after reluctantly intervening to prevent their bankruptcy.Englands national physiotherapy lead Ben Langley put an optimistic slant on Woods recovery, taking comfort from the fact that the injury is different to the one that required two earlier operations.Woody showed his commitment to Durham with the way he bowled 35 overs in that Surrey game, and we know now that he also showed a hell of a lot of courage and resilience, Langley said.His foot and ankle swelled up hugely during the game, which was obviously worrying, and then we were perplexed when nothing significant showed up on the first scan.ddddddddddddIt was only when we got him in for a second scan that we discovered hed been playing on despite having fractured a bone.So its a different injury to what hes had the previous surgery for, and theres no reason to think that when hes had this bone fragment removed, he wont be able to get back to bowling as well he has for Durham, England Lions and England in the second half of the 2016 summer.Wood has been awarded a central Test contract by England for 2016-17 - without such an award it would have been questionable about whether Durham could have afforded his salary so soon after requiring a financial bailout from the ECB - but his ability to fulfil a full international summer remains unproven.He made a blistering comeback in the second half of the summer, delivering some of the most potent fast-bowling spells of the season as he helped Durhams to the final of the NatWest T20 Blast and also featured in Englands 4-1 victory over Pakistan in their one-day international series.He bowled more than 200 overs in all competitions, purportedly without ill effects, but when he pulled out of the Bangladesh tour the problems became evident. Concerns can only have deepened with the latest news. ' ' '
