Overview

  • San Diego placed the left-hander on the injured list retroactive to Sept. 4 after he reported left biceps tendinitis.
  • The Padres recalled right-hander Ron Marinaccio from Triple-A El Paso as the immediate roster move.
  • Right-hander Randy Vásquez was brought back from Triple-A to start Saturday in Colorado, the team announced.
  • Cortes has a 5.47 ERA over 26 1/3 innings with San Diego and exited his last start after allowing four homers to Baltimore.
  • Padres starters have posted a 7.52 ERA over their past nine games, and the club expects Michael King to return from a knee issue soon.
