SAN DIEGO -- Luis Perdomo did everything asked of him at Triple-A El Paso. After being demoted in April, Perdomo posted a 3.10 ERA in 11 starts in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.
His performance merited a callup. All he needed was an opportunity. That opportunity will come Wednesday afternoon in Oakland.
The Padres will recall Perdomo to start against the A's on Wednesday in the rotation place left vacant by Jordan Lyles (elbow inflammation). Lyles has been out since June 23, but the Padres used two off-days to skip his turn in the rotation last time through.
