Padres recall righty Alek Jacob from Triple-A El Paso, place RHP Matt Waldron on 15-day injured list

SEATTLE (AP) — The San Diego Padres recalled right-hander Alek Jacob from Triple-A El Paso on Friday and placed righty Matt Waldron on the 15-day injured list with a right upper arm injury.

Waldron allowed six runs and eight hits in 2 2/3 innings on Tuesday in a 6-4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, dropping his record this season to 1-2 with an 8.49 ERA in six games, three of them starts. His injury is to the brachialis muscle, below the biceps.

Jacob was recalled from the minor leagues for the second time this season. He threw two scoreless innings in his sole appearance for San Diego this year.

Lucas Giolito, who agreed to a one-year contract guaranteeing just under $2.8 million in April, is expected to make his Padres debut this weekend. Giolito has made four minor league starts.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees postponed Saturday's game against Tampa Bay because of a forecast for sustained rain and will make it up as part of a day-night doubleheader on Sept. 22.

Tickets for the postponed game can be used for the 1:05 p.m. game on Sept. 22, which becomes the opener of a four-game series. That day's regularly scheduled game starts at 7:05 p.m.

Both teams pushed back their scheduled starters by a day for Sunday's finale of this weekend's truncated, two-game series. Ryan Weathers (2-2) starts for the Yankees and Drew Rasmussen (4-1) for the Rays.

New York has lost three straight games and 10 of 14.

Tampa Bay has won five straight and 16 of 19. The Rays, a big league-best 34-15, are 4-0 against the Yankees and lead New York by 5 1/2 games in the AL East.
