The San Diego Padres announced Monday, June 15, that manager Bud Black has been relieved of his duties.
The club will immediately begin the formal search for an interim manager for the remainder of the 2015 season. Until that process has concluded, bench coach Dave Roberts will serve as the manager beginning with tonight’s game against Oakland. The Padres are six games behind the Dodgers in the NL West and one game under .500. General Manager AJ Preller will speak with the media later in the afternoon on June 15.
