Alek Jacob News: Recalled from El Paso

The Padres recalled Jacob from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Since his last MLB appearance May 24, Jacob has given up nine earned runs across 10.1 innings in Triple-A. Despite his shaky performance, he'll get the call to provide San Diego with some extra bullpen depth heading into the All-Star break. He's unlikely to pitch outside of low-leverage situations, however.
