On Thursday, the San Diego Padres sent knuckleballer Matt Waldron to Triple-A El Paso and brought up right-hander Logan Gillaspie.

This decision followed Waldron giving up a career-high 10 runs on 12 hits in 4 1/3 innings during an 11-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins the day before, which stopped a potential three-game sweep.

In his last three starts, Waldron allowed 22 runs in 14 1/3 innings. For the season, he has made 26 starts with a 7-11 record and a 4.79 ERA.

Gillaspie has not recorded a win or loss this year but has a 3.24 ERA in seven appearances.
