The Padres placed starter on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to September 4, with a biceps strain. San Diego recalled reliever to provide an extra bullpen arm for tonights game in Colorado. It might be a one- Gleb Trikozov Jersey day MLB stint. Righty joined the team at Coors Field and told reporters (including ) that hell be recalled to start Saturdays game. It continues a rough season for Cortes, whom the Friars acquired from the Brewers at the trade deadline. The leftys Milwaukee tenure consisted of two starts and eight runs allowed in as many innings. He then suffered a flexor strain that cost him four months. By the time he was ready to return right around the deadline, the Brewers had six or seven better starting pitchers. They traded Cortes to San Diego, who activated him from the IL on August 3. Things havent gone well through six starts. Cortes carries a 5.47 earned run average through 26 1/3 innings. His strikeout, walk and home run rates are all poor. Cortes has managed one strong start, to sing six scorele s innings to beat the Dodgers on August 23. Thats the only time hes completed six frames with the Padres. He had his worst outing on Wednesday, giving up four homers and six runs without escaping the third inning against Baltimore. San Diego acquired Cortes and at the deadline in an effort to stabilize the back of the rotation. That became increasingly important when they packaged and to Kansas City for catcher . Neither addition has worked out so far, as Sears has given up nine earned runs in 14 2/3 frames over his first three starts. The Padres quickly optioned Sears to Triple-A. He apparently has fallen behind Vsquez on the depth chart, as the Friars elected to call up the righty. Sears is scheduled to start tonight in the minors, which would indicate hes not in the mix to start on Tuesday in what would have been Cortes rotation spot. (San Diego relied on a bullpen game the last time they would have needed a fifth starter.) They may be targeting that day for to return from the injured list. Manager Mike Shildt told that King threw five innings in a scrimmage at the teams Arizona complex yesterday. Shildt did not commit to a date for the rightys reinstatement. Daniel Altshuller Jersey
