"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Padres&amp;nbsp;righthanded pitcher&amp;nbsp;Joaquin Benoit&amp;nbsp;could return after two more bullpen sessions, the first of which comes Sunday when the team closes out its series on the road against the&amp;nbsp;Diamondbacks, according to a&amp;nbsp;report from Jeff Sanders of&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;The San Diego Union-Tribune.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 37-year-old has been sidelined since Aug. 26 because of a chronic shoulder injury. On the season, he owns a 1.58 ERA in 51 1/3 innings. He is scheduled to make&amp;nbsp;$8.5 million next season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Padres enter Sunday third in the NL West behind the Dodgers&amp;nbsp;\u2014 who&amp;nbsp;attempted to trade for Benoit this summer&amp;nbsp;\u2014 and the Giants.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em &gt;- Marc&amp;nbsp;Weinreich&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n\t&lt;strong&gt;Anibal&amp;nbsp;Sanchez could throw off mound Monday&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
