The Padres have signed Ronny Cedeno to a minor league deal, according to Corey Brock of MLB.com (via Twitter). Cedeno was released by the Astros on Sunday along with Carlos Pena.
The shortstop was cut loose by Houston after batting just .220/.260/.298 in 51 games. His departure from Houston cleared the way for the promotion of new starting shorstop Jonathan Villar. Cedeno signed with the Astros in March after being released by the Cardinals.
