Euclides Viloria?

Euclides Viloria was a pretty interesting prospect about a year ago; a 17-year-old who struck out over 1.5 per inning in the AZL. He was a pretty well-regarded international signing with the Padres, and reports are that he's got an impressive changeup and good velocity.

But he hasn't pitched at all this year, and I can't find any updated info on him on Google News or anywhere else. Does anyone know what's up with Euclides?

I heard his fastball was no longer the shortest distance between two points

but maybe that was just hyperbolic.

I just asked Paul Depodesta this question on his blog and here was his response:

Villoria had shoulder surgery back in April. Fortunately, he’s doing very well in his recovery, and we’re hopeful that he’ll be throwing again this fall in an instructional league.
