The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Michael King (knee) was activated from the 15-day injured list and is starting Tuesday, so Jacob was optioned to make room. Jacob made three appearances after being recalled Sept. 2, allowing one earned run on two hits with a 3:3 K:BB across 3.1 innings.
