Padres activated RHP Tim Stauffer from the 15-day disabled list.
Stauffer will make his season debut against Ross Detwiler and the Nationals on Monday. The 29-year-old suffered a strained right elbow during the last week of the spring and has been shelved since. He went 9-12 with a 3.73 ERA in 31 outings last season. Stauffer was very effective in his rehab outings and very well may be a mixed league mainstay later this season. For now, however, we wouldn't use him outside of NL-only leagues until he proves he's healthy and effective. Owners in deeper leagues will want to grab Stauffer where he's available because of the streaming possibilities he presents. He and PETCO are a formidable duo when Stauffer is on his game.
