The 30-year-old righty has made 12 appearances for the Dodgers this season, delivering an 8.15 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB in 17.2 innings.

Blade Tidwell RP | SF
Giants' Blade Tidwell: Called up, will start Tuesday
The Giants recalled Tidwell from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
With the trade deadline in the rear-view mirror, the Giants have multiple rotation and several bullpen spots to fill. Tidwell will be summoned to fill one of the voids in the rotation, with the Giants confirming that he'll start Tuesday's game against the Rangers in Texas, according to Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News. Tidwell made each of his eight appearances with the Giants earlier in the season out of the bullpen, but he had been part of the rotation at Triple-A since being demoted April 29. Over his last six outings with Sacramento, Tidwell posted a 3.13 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB in 31.2 innings.

Jason Adam RP | SD
Padres' Jason Adam: Moved to 60-day IL
The Padres transferred Adam (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
Adam's initial placement on the IL was retroactive to June 30, so he won't be eligible for activation until Aug. 29 after Monday's transaction, which was made for the purpose of opening up a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly acquired Hunter Stratton. According to MLB.com, Adam has yet to start a throwing program but is expected to resume playing catch in the near future while he works his way back from a right shoulder strain.

Hunter Stratton RP | SD
Padres' Hunter Stratton: Flipped to Padres
The Padres acquired Stratton from the Pirates on Monday in exchange for right-hander Andrew Moore.
Stratton was designated for assignment a couple days ago by Pittsburgh, but the Padres were able to find a spot for him on their 40-man roster. Stratton, a 29-year-old righty, already went through this process earlier in the season when Atlanta DFA'd him, and he was then dealt to Pittsburgh for catcher Joey Bart. He's logged 32.2 innings in the minors and 3.1 innings in the majors this season.
