Padres recall LHP Baumann, utilityman Amarista

TORONTO -- Buddy Baumann only threw one pitch in his big league debut, and in his eyes, "one was plenty."

Now, Baumann will likely get a few more pitches at the Majors level -- very shortly. The 28-year-old left-hander joined the Padres Wednesday after being recalled from Triple-A El Paso. He took the roster spot of Melvin Upton Jr., who was dealt to the Blue Jays Tuesday.

The Padres also made another roster move Wednesday, placing third baseman Yangervis Solarte on the family leave list and recalling utility man Alexi Amarista.
