SAN DIEGO -- Manager Walt Weiss announced that Eddie Butler would be called up to start in the series finale against the Padres at Petco Park on Sunday.
Butler was 3-6 with a 4.80 ERA in 11 starts before being sent down to Triple-A Albuquerque on June 9. Butler last faced the Padres on May 1 in San Diego, where he pitched four innings, allowing four hits, five runs (three earned) and walking two batters.
The rookie right-hander was sent down with hopes of improving his offspeed pitches.
"It wasn't all smooth sailing for him down there," Weiss said before Saturday's game.
