As long as he doesn't spend more than 30 days on an active roster this year, then he'll be a prime candidate to receive a fourth option, if necessary, in 2015.

On March 11, the Padres optioned OF Rymer Liriano to Double-A San Antonio. Liriano will miss the 2013 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. The question is: is it possible to option an injured player? 
CBA, Article XIX (C)(2)(b) states that: “an injured player may be (outright) assigned to the minors within the 16th day prior the opening day if 1) the player has less than 3 years of Major League service, 2) the assignment would not be the player's second (or subsequent), 3) the player had no Major League service during the previous season, and 4) the player was not selected by the assignor Major League club in the immediately preceding Rule 5 Draft.”
Does this rule apply to options too? Did Liriano’s option fall in this rule case?
Thanks.
