Vicente Padilla was released from a hospital in Nicaragua on Tuesday after being treated for a minor gunshot wound to the right thigh.

Padilla helped lead the Dodgers to the National League Championship Series, where they eventually lost to the Philadelphia Phillies. He's expected to file for free agency in the coming weeks.
