The Padres selected Camarena's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The move didn't occur Friday contrary to expectations, but Camarena will now officially join the Padres' 26-man roster. Though his role for the big-league pitching staff is not yet clear, the southpaw has been successful as a Triple-A starter this season and could prove equally useful as a spot starter or long reliever.
