Alex Faedo - Scheduled for Sunday startFaedo will be recalled to start Sunday's game against San Diego, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
ImpactFaedo has struggled to a 6.98 ERA in six big-league starts this season, though his ERA estimators - in particular his 3.92 SIERA - tell a different story. His combination of an average strikeout rate (23.0 percent) and an excellent walk rate (3.3 percent) should in theory lead to better results in the future, though it's unclear whether he'll get the chance to remain in the rotation for more than one start.

Domingo Tapia - Designated for assignmentTapia was designated for assignment by the Padres on Saturday.
ImpactThe 31-year-old owns a 3.57 ERA in 17.2 major-league innings this season, but his 14:12 K:BB hardly inspires confidence. He was optioned in early July and will now vacate the 40-man roster as well, clearing space for Jackson Wolf to join ahead of his major-league debut.

Alek Jacob - Out with elbow inflammationJacob was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation Saturday.
ImpactThe move was backdated to Friday, so Jacob could return as soon as August 12 if his inflammation has subsided by then. In three appearances during his brief time with the team, Jacob struck out five of the 10 batters he faced while not allowing a run or a hit. Jacob's roster spot will go to Jackson Wolf, whose contract was selected ahead of his big-league debut.
