Clarke will be recalled from Triple-A Reno to start Saturday's game against the Giants, Richard Morin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Clarke was sent down to the minors Aug. 4 after surrendering three runs over 5.2 innings against the Nationals, but he's in line for another big-league opportunity after Robbie Ray (back) landed on the injured list Thursday.

Sewald had his contract selected from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

The 29-year-old returns to the major-league bullpen after being designated for assignment in late May but remaining with the organization. In 19 appearances with Triple-A Syracuse this year, Sewald carries an ERA of 3.35 with a 52:15 K:BB over 51 innings. Drew Gagnon was optioned to Triple-A and Tim Peterson was designated for assignment in corresponding moves.

Chargois was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

The 28-year-old returns to the minors after giving up three earned runs in 1.1 innings Thursday against the Marlins. Right-hander Josh Sborz was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Sborz was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

The right-hander will return to the major-league bullpen after JT Chargois was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. In two appearances at the big-league level, Sborz allowed six earned runs off six hits and two walks over three innings. He likely doesn't hold much fantasy value as a middle reliever in a strong Dodgers bullpen.

Hartlieb was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Hartlieb returns to the Triple-A level after making seven appearances for the big-league club since being recalled July 30. In those appearances, the 25-year-old allowed seven earned runs in six innings while recording eight strikeouts. Cole Tucker was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

Wilson was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett prior to Friday's game against the Dodgers.

There doesn't seem to be a spot for Wilson in the rotation, so he will presumably offer length out of the bullpen. The 21-year-old righty has allowed just one run while striking out 25 in 27 innings over his last four starts at Triple-A.

Barraclough cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Barraclough was designated for assignment by the Giants on Thursday but will remain with the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. The 29-year-old has endured a season to forget in the majors with a 6.66 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 30:12 K:BB over 25.2 innings.

Kennedy (lat) began a rehab assignment Aug. 3 with the Padres' rookie-level Arizona League affiliate but hasn't appeared in any minor-league games since that date.

Kennedy gave up a run on two hits and a walk over his lone inning with the affiliate in what marked his first competitive action since he was diagnosed with a lat strain in spring training. His lack of usage in the subsequent two weeks following the rehab outing suggests he may have experienced a setback, though the Padres haven't confirmed that's the case. Even if Kennedy makes it back on the mound before the end of 2019, his limited action since the spring makes it unlikely he'll be a September callup for San Diego.

Young (4-3) took the loss against the Giants on Thursday, completing five innings and giving up five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out a pair.

Young found himself in hot water early, giving up a pair of first-inning runs while allowing the first four hitters to reach base. He settled down to keep San Francisco off the scoreboard in the following three frames but ran into trouble again in the fifth, allowing three runs on an RBI double by Buster Posey and a two-run homer off the bat of Evan Longoria. Young allowed only 10 earned runs in his first 34.2 innings this season but has now surrendered nine in 8.1 frames over his last two starts, both of which have resulted in losses. The 25-year-old will try to get back on track when he hosts the Rockies on Tuesday in his next scheduled start.

Rodriguez (5-6) picked up the win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday, hurling seven scoreless innings and giving up three hits and one walk while striking out four.

Rodriguez was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the day and proceeded to pitch his finest game of the season. He did not allow any runners to reach second base and threw 61 of 95 pitches for strikes. The 27-year-old has been shuffled back-and-forth between the majors and Triple-A this season, posting a 4.79 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 46:26 K:BB in 71.1 innings with the Giants. It remains to be seen whether the dominant outing Thursday will earn him another start.
