Wilson was recalled as expected ahead of his scheduled start in the nightcap of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Wilson will merely be the 27th man for the twin bill, so it's likely he heads right back to the minors following the game. He's still just 23 years old, but he's shown little reason to get excited this year or in any of his other three partial seasons in the big leagues, posting a 6.46 ERA in seven starts this season and a 6.14 ERA in 73.1 innings for his career.

Patino is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Yankees.

After getting called up from Triple-A Durham last week to make a start in Cleveland, Patino initially wasn't certain to stick in the rotation beyond that outing. Even though he delivered so-so results in a no-decision (four runs allowed on five hits and three walks over 5.1 innings), Patino will maintain his spot in the rotation after the Rays shipped starter Rich Hill off to the Mets. The Rays will eventually get Chris Archer (forearm) and Tyler Glasnow (elbow) back from the injured list, so Patino will still need to churn out respectable starts in order to stay in the rotation for the rest of the season.

The Padres optioned Knehr to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

Knehr returned to the minors one day after he was called up to make a spot start in the second half of a doubleheader with Atlanta. He has yet to be officially credited with any statistics from that start; he gave up three runs on one hit and two walks over 1.2 innings, departing with a 5-2 lead before the game was suspended in the bottom of the fifth due to inclement weather while the Padres held a one-run advantage. Atlanta and San Diego are expected to make up the contest during their series in late September, so Knehr's statistics won't appear on his season-long ledger until the suspended game is completed.

Hendriks allowed one hit and struck out three to save Sunday's 3-1 win over Milwaukee. It was his 24th save in 28 chances.

Michael Kopech hurled a scoreless seventh but walked the first batter faced in the eighth, so manager Tony La Russa went with his closer for a six-out save, the second save of such length this season for Hendriks. He hadn't pitched since last Tuesday, so Hendriks had the bullets and retired the Brewers on just 20 pitches over his two innings.

Clarke (shoulder) threw a 25-pitch simulated inning Saturday.

Clarke's been on the injured list since the middle of June with a strained right teres muscle. The right-hander is expected to next pitch in a "B" game at Salt River Fields, the site of the organization's training complex.

Santana (0-1) allowed one earned run on one hit and two walks across two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss to the Astros on Sunday.

Santana entered the game with a one-run lead and one out in the fifth inning. He surrendered a two-run home run to Abraham Toro to give up the lead. He has a 5.35 ERA in 10.1 innings since joining the Rangers. On the season, he has a 5.68 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP with 15 strikeouts in 25.1 innings.

Hearn pitched three hitless innings, allowing one walk while striking out three in the loss to the Astros on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.

Hearn received his second start of the season Sunday despite primarily being used as a bulk-inning reliever. Although he was pulled after three innings, he didn't allow any hits, and only one batter reached base safely via a walk. The 26-year-old has a 5.40 ERA and a 1.64 WHIP in 38.1 innings. However, he has allowed only one run on three hits over his last 13 innings.

Pressly fired a clean ninth inning, striking out one to earn the save over the Rangers on Sunday.

Pressly retired the side and struck out Curtis Terry to end the game. It was a nice comeback appearance for Pressly after he allowed his first earned run since May 29 on Saturday. The 32-year-old has a 1.50 ERA and a 0.79 WHIP in 42 innings. He is 18-for-19 in save opportunities, the third-highest save percentage for closers with at least 10 saves.

Coulombe (1-1) allowed one earned run on two hits while striking out one across 1.2 innings, taking the loss to the Angels on Sunday.

Coulombe replaced Bailey Ober in a tie game with one out in the sixth inning. He surrendered a home run to Shohei Ohtani, setting him up for the loss. It is the first time he allowed a run since his first appearance June 25. The 31-year-old has a 1.50 ERA and 0.83 WHIP with 17 strikeouts in 12 innings.

Barria (1-0) allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four across seven innings, earning the win over the Twins on Sunday.

Barria allowed a home run in the first inning to Max Kepler and another to Brent Rooker. However, he shut down the Twins over the next six innings to win the game. This was Barria's first win of the season in his third appearance. The 24-year-old has a 6.23 ERA and five strikeouts in 13 innings.
