Padres recall righty Alek Jacob from Triple-A El Paso, place RHP Matt Waldron on 15-day injured list
Alek Jacob returns for bullpen depth as Matt Waldron lands on the 15-day injured list with a right brachialis muscle injury.
- On Friday, the San Diego Padres recalled right-handed pitcher Alek Jacob from Triple-A El Paso and placed right-handed pitcher Matt Waldron on the 15-day injured list with a right brachialis muscle injury.
- Waldron's struggles prompted the move after he allowed six runs and eight hits in 2.2 innings during Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, compiling an 8.49 ERA across six appearances this season.
- Ahead of Lucas Giolito's debut this weekend, Jacob provides bullpen coverage after pitching two scoreless innings in his prior appearance this year; Giolito signed a one-year contract guaranteeing just under $2.8 million.

- Acquired from Cleveland in 2020, Waldron carries a 5.25 ERA over 216 innings with San Diego and remains with the organization while recovering, avoiding potential waiver claims that would accompany a designation for assignment.
