Joins big club for postseason The Padres included Patino on their 28-man roster for the wild-card series with the Cardinals that begins Wednesday.

Impact The Padres added Patino and catcher Luis Campusano to the roster as replacements for starting pitchers Dinelson Lamet (biceps) and Mike Clevinger (elbow), who will both be held out of the series. Chris Paddack is scheduled to start Game 1 while Zach Davies starts Game 2, leaving Patino as an option to eat innings in a potential Game 3, which would likely be a bullpen outing.

Earns win in relief Patino (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning, walking one and fanning two, two earn the win Friday against the Giants in Game 2 of a doubleheader.

Impact Patino has given up one or fewer runs in eight of his last nine appearances out of the bullpen, posting a 3.29 ERA with a 1.68 WHIP in 13.2 innings during that span. He has pitched just three times this month, though, so he might not play a role for the Padres during their upcoming postseason run.

Returns to alternate site The Padres optioned Patino to their alternate training site Sunday.

Impact Patino's demotion doesn't come as much of a surprise after he struggled in his spot start Saturday against the Mariners in place of the injured Mike Clevinger (biceps). He lasted 1.2 innings in the Padres' loss, giving up one run on three hits and two walks while striking out three in a no-decision. Though Clevinger appears on track to rejoin the rotation Wednesday, San Diego will have a need for a spot starter Friday for one half of the team's doubleheader with the Giants. The Padres could designate Patino as their 29th man for the twin bill and bring him back to start one of those contests.

Struggles in spot start Patino allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 1.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.

Impact Patino, who had mostly worked out of the bullpen in 2020, was forced into a spot start when Mike Clevinger (biceps) was scratched. Patino threw 28 of his 50 pitches for strikes, but he wasn't very effecient. The 20-year-old now has a 5.51 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 19 strikeouts in 16.1 innings across 10 appearances.

Sent down Monday Patino was optioned to the Padres' alternate training site Monday.

Impact Patino has been inconsistent while pitching mainly in low-leverage situations for the Padres this season, and he'll attempt to work things out at alternate camp. In his first major-league action this year, the right-hander posted a 5.52 ERA and 1.77 WHIP over 14.2 innings.

Expected to piggyback Morejon The Padres are expected to deploy Patino in Tuesday's game against the Rangers as a piggyback option behind starter Adrian Morejon, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact As a 21-year-old with limited big-league experience, Morejon likely won't be asked to work more than 4-to-5 innings in what will be his 2020 debut. As a result, a piggyback arrangement between Morejon and another prized young arm in Patino may make some sense as the Padres look to keep both pitchers' workloads in check while simultaneously amplifying their performances. Patino was tagged for five runs over his first two relief appearances, but he was sharper his last time out against a tough Dodgers lineup Aug. 13, striking out two over two scoreless frames.

Wild in relief Patino worked 1.2 innings out of the bullpen in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Diamondbacks, giving up two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out three.

Impact Patino was viewed as a potential candidate to replace the struggling Joey Lucchesi in the Padres' rotation this week, but his usage out of the bullpen Sunday officially took him out of the mix. Should another rotation spot open up at any point, the young right-hander may not be the next man up for a starting assignment after two rough showings out of the bullpen to begin his big-league career. He was previously tagged for three runs on three hits over two innings in his MLB debut Aug. 5 versus the Dodgers.

In consideration for starting role Patino is a candidate to start against the Dodgers on Monday or Tuesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Padres have an open spot in their rotation with Joey Lucchesi moved to the team's alternate training site Thursday, so they will choose from a number of options to fill the role. Cal Quantrill appears to be the leading candidate for the job, but Patino is in the running, according to Padres manager Jayce Tingler. Patino pitched two innings against the Dodgers in his MLB debut Wednesday, allowing three runs on three hits while striking out two.

Roughed up in big-league debut Patino tossed two innings in relief against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing three runs on three hits while striking out two.

Impact Patino retired reigning NL MVP Cody Bellinger to begin his major-league career; however, the following two batters singled and Joc Pederson followed with a three-run home run to extend the Dodgers' lead. Patino bounced back by retiring the final five batters he faced, but the damage was enough to spoil the prospect's debut.
