Luke Gregerson gave up hits to all four Giants he faced and took a blown save and a loss on Wednesday.

Gregerson has already pushed back into a setup role with Huston Street back, but he's still struggling. He's given up six runs and 11 hits over 3 2/3 innings in his last five appearances.

Luke Gregerson was pulled out of a save opportunity Wednesday after giving up two singles and a run against the Braves.

The Padres had a couple of potential double play balls that they couldn't turn behind Gregerson, settling for one out on each, and with the two outs and a man on, they decided to go get lefty Tom Layne to face Jason Heyward. Another singled followed, but Nick Vincent took over from there and struck out Justin Upton to end the game. It seems the Padres are looking at a closer-by-committee until Huston Street returns. Gregerson might still be the top option in the ninth, but Dale Thayer is also a possibility for saves.

Luke Gregerson got a one-out save Tuesday, striking out the only Brave he faced in the ninth.

Gregerson didn't get to start the ninth tonight after his ugly blown save Sunday, but he did improve to 3-for-4 in save chances since Huston Street went down. Even after allowing three runs on Sunday, his ERA stands at 1.76.

Luke Gregerson picked up a save despite giving up a run and three hits in the ninth Saturday against the Jays.

Gregerson made the Padres nervous in his first save chance with Huston Street on the DL, but he was able to get Emilio Bonifacio to line out and Jose Bautista to ground out to strand the tying run on second and end the game. He's expected to keep getting save chances while Street is out.

Luke Gregerson holds a 1.35 ERA and 0.75 WHIP over his first 13 appearances this season.

Gregerson has struck out just nine over 13 1/3 innings, but his strikeout rate will climb. One of the better setup men in the game, Gregerson and his nasty slider will continue to set up for Huston Street and would slide into the closer role if Street is injured or traded.

Padres and RHP Luke Gregerson avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.2 million contract.

Gregerson requested a salary of $3.75 million and was offered $2.875 million from the Padres when arbitration figures were exchanged earlier this month. It only took 10 days for the two sides to find a middle ground.

Luke Gregerson requested $3.75 million and was offered $2.875 million from the Padres when arbitration figures were exchanged Friday.

Gregerson is arbitration-eligible for the second time after he earned $1.55 million last season while posting a 2.39 ERA and 72/21 K/BB ratio over 71 2/3 innings. Look for the two sides to settle somewhere in the neighborhood of the $3.31 million midpoint.

Luke Gregerson picked up his ninth save in Wednesday's 7-6, season-ending win over the Brewers, notching two strikeouts in a perfect inning of work.

Arbitration eligible this offseason, Gregerson finishes 2012 the owner of a 2.39 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 72/21 K/BB ratio in 71 2/3 innings across 77 appearances. Those numbers would be good enough to close for a lot of teams, but with Huston Street under contract through 2014, Gregerson will return to a setup role if he's brought back this winter.

Luke Gregerson notched his second save in as many games Wednesday in the Padres' 3-2 defeat of the Cardinals.

Gregerson allowed a leadoff double to Allen Craig to open the ninth inning, but the threat basically stopped there. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny had Yadier Molina bunt, then David Freese and Skip Schumaker hit into groundouts. It was a complete botch job by the St. Louis skipper and gave the Padres an unlikely three-game sweep. Gregerson will continue to hold fantasy value until Huston Street (calf) returns.

Luke Gregerson nailed down his sixth save of the season Tuesday in the Padres' 6-4 win over the Cardinals.

Gregerson allowed a single to Skip Schumaker but was otherwise stout, going 1 2/3 innings in the save conversion. He has a 2.32 ERA and 1.06 WHIP on the year.
