Padres pitcher Brandon Maurer allowed one hit and one walk Wednesday but tossed a scoreless inning in his return from a back injury.
Maurer was making just his second appearance of the spring due to a sore back.
"It was good to see him out there and turning the ball loose," manager Bud Black said after the game, per MLB.com. "He was a little rusty and not dotting the ball like he can. But he's healthy."
Black noted earlier in March that he could get a look as a starting pitcher at some point. Maurer went 1-4 with a 4.65 ERA and 55:19 K:BB ratio in 69 2/3 innings with Seattle last season.
