The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Michael King (knee) was activated from the 15-day injured list and is starting Tuesday, so Jacob was optioned to make room. Jacob made three appearances after being recalled Sept. 2, in which he allowed one earned run on two hits with a 3:3 K:BB across 3.1 innings.

The Padres recalled Jacob from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jacob was sent down to Triple-A at the end of August after throwing 4.2 shutout innings in three appearances, and he'll now rejoin the big-league bullpen following Jason Adam's (quad) move to the injured list. Although his most recent showing in the majors was successful, Jacob's 5.40 ERA through 30 innings will likely limit him to low-leverage work.

The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Jacob's latest stint in the majors lasted only five days but the right-hander was busy, making three appearances and allowing just one hit and one walk over 4.2 scoreless innings. He'll cede his spot in the bullpen to Kyle Hart, who was recalled from El Paso.

The Padres recalled Jacob from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Since his demotion to Triple-A in late July, Jacob has logged a 3.38 ERA and 1.28 WHIP alongside a 21:9 K:BB across 13.1 innings with the Chihuahuas. He'll now rejoin the Padres' bullpen to provide some extra depth with JP Sears headed down to the minors.

The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was called up by San Diego on July 12 and appeared in just one game during his time with the big club, as he covered two scoreless frames Sunday in Washington. It's otherwise been a struggle for Jacob in the majors this season with a 6.39 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB over 25.1 innings.

The Padres recalled Jacob from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Since his last MLB appearance May 24, Jacob has given up nine earned runs across 10.1 innings in Triple-A. Despite his shaky performance, he'll get the call to provide San Diego with some extra bullpen depth heading into the All-Star break. He's unlikely to pitch outside of low-leverage situations, however.

The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Jacob has been up with San Diego all season and had been pitching decently with a 3.34 ERA through 20 appearances, but he surrendered 10 earned runs over his past two outings, including four runs Saturday in Atlanta. The right-hander will head to the minors in favor of Omar Cruz, who will bolster the Padres' bullpen depth.

Jacob allowed seven runs (six earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning versus Toronto on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
When Jacob entered with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, the Padres were still hanging around despite a 4-0 deficit. The righty reliever allowed two inherited runners plus one of his own to cross the plate before getting the final out in that frame, then allowed six straight hitters to reach (one on an error) without getting an out in the eighth before being pulled with San Diego down 12-0. Jacob held a 2.75 ERA through his first 18 appearances, but he's given up multiple runs in two of his past three outings as his ERA has more than doubled to 5.82. He's a non-factor in fantasy due to a low-leverage role (he has just two holds and no saves across his 21 total appearances) and a low strikeout rate (6.6 K/9).

Jacob struck out two batters in a perfect inning in relief against Colorado on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Jacob closed out the contest for San Diego, pitching the ninth inning in the 8-0 win. He was efficient and effective, throwing 11 of his 15 pitches for strikes. Friday snapped a string of three straight relief outings in which Jacob worked over one inning, though he hasn't gone past two frames in an appearance this year. He's off the fantasy radar since he's not frequently used in high-leverage situations and doesn't have big strikeout stuff, but Jacob has held his own so far this season with a 3.12 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 5:3 K:BB over 8.2 innings.

Jacob has a spot on the Padres' roster for the National League Division Series against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Jacob was optioned to Triple-A El Paso in late September, though that came after the minor-league season had concluded. The righty reliever spent most of the campaign with El Paso but logged seven appearances over two stints with San Diego, posting a 2.45 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB over 14.2 innings. Jacob pitched more than one inning in five of the seven outings and topped out at 3.2 frames against Tampa Bay on Aug. 31.
