Yates tossed a scoreless inning and picked up his second hold in Sunday's loss to the White Sox.
The 30-year-old has excelled with the Padres after being claimed off waivers from the Angels on April 26. He has a 9:2 K:BB ratio and has yet to allow a run through 7.1 innings. Yates has a spotty track record in the majors, but he has always possessed the ability to miss bats and could see more hold opportunities on a team that lacks reliable right-handed relievers behind closer Brandon Maurer.
