San Diego Padres

German Marquez

SP

Making what was his fourth rehab start with El Paso, Marquez built up to 73 pitches (43 strikes) and induced seven swings and misses. The right-hander has looked sharp throughout his assignment, compiling a 1.76 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB in 15.1 innings. Marquez looks ready to return from the 15-day injured list during the upcoming week, and while the Padres haven't revealed their plans for the 31-year-old, he would be a logical choice to replace the struggling Griffin Canning (6.64 ERA, 1.57 WHIP over 42 innings) when his next turn in the rotation comes up Tuesday versus Atlanta at Petco Park.

Matt Waldron

SP

Waldron breezed through his 2.1 frames on 27 pitches, yielding just one hit. It was Waldron's first outing in exactly one month, as he's working his way back from a right brachialis muscle injury. If the knuckleballer is added back to the major-league roster at the conclusion of his rehab assignment, he is expected to be used in a relief role.

Nick Pivetta

SP

Pivetta has been on the shelf due to a right flexor strain since mid-April. He resumed a throwing program by playing catch May 29 and has since ramped up his throwing distance and intensity, though he's yet to get back on a mound. Pivetta still has several obstacles to clear and isn't likely to return to the Padres' rotation until sometime after the All-Star break.

Luis Campusano

C

Campusano has now been out over a month after fracturing a toe on his left foot in early May. The backstop has been catching pitches and swinging pain-free since late May, but San Diego hasn't yet sent him out on a rehab assignment. Fellow backstop Freddy Fermin exited Saturday's contest against Baltimore after being hit by a warmup pitch near the back of the head, so the only healthy catcher on San Diego's 26-man roster at the moment is Rodolfo Duran.

Lucas Giolito

SP

In a corresponding move, the Padres recalled JP Sears from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday. Giolito struggled in his last two starts June 15 and 21 by allowing seven earned runs on 14 hits and five walks through nine innings.
