Padres place Weeks on DL, recall Pirela

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres' rash of injuries to their infielders required another roster move Sunday.

Jose Pirela was recalled from Triple-A El Paso, expected to see occasional starts at second base.

Jemile Weeks heads to the disabled list after straining his right hamstring in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Mets. Weeks, injured while trying to beat out a bunt, joins infielders Yangervis Solarte (hamstring), Cory Spangenberg (quad) and Alexi Amarista (hamstring) on the DL.
