Hand was claimed off waivers by the Padres on Friday, Dennis Lin of the Union-Tribune reports.
Hand was DFA'd by the Marlins earlier in the week and will now join the Padres as a left-handed specialist out of the bullpen. His experience at the major league level could bump lefties such as Ryan Buchter or Robbie Erlin back down to the minors. Hand struck out 29 of the 110 lefties he faced in 2015 while allowing a .206 batting average against.
