The Padres optioned Hart to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hart threw 42 pitches in relief the previous two days, and San Diego needs a fresher arm for the bullpen. Ron Marinaccio has been recalled to take Hart's spot. Hart (3-2) has pitched in nine games (six starts) for the Padres this season, registering a 5.29 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB across 32.1 innings of action.

The Padres recalled Hart from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hart will provide reinforcement behind Tuesday's starter Stephen Kolek and could potentially follow the latter out of the bullpen. The left-hander has posted a 5.83 ERA and 19:6 K:BB over 29.1 innings at the big-league level this season.

The Padres optioned Hart to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hart tossed 3.2 perfect innings of bulk relief in Sunday's win over the Rangers, and his reward is a trip back to the minors a day later. The lefty has likely earned another look with the big club eventually, but for now he will re-enter the rotation at El Paso.

Hart (3-2) struck out two over 3.2 perfect innings of bulk relief to earn the win Sunday over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Hart was sharp in following opener David Morgan in this contest, who gave up one run on four hits and a walk in 1.1 innings. Hart had struggled in earlier stints in the majors, but this was a positive outing. He's now at a 5.83 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB across 29.1 innings over seven starts. There's an open spot in the rotation even with Yu Darvish (elbow) set to make his season debut Monday, so Hart could stick around in the majors after replacing Stephen Kolek on the big-league roster.

The Padres recalled Hart from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart will rejoin the Padres for the first time since late May, after he was demoted upon turning in a 6.66 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over six starts with the big club. The lefty hasn't fared much better since returning to El Paso (6.57 ERA, 1.66 WHIP, 20:9 K:BB in 24.2 innings), but he'll get the call back to the majors with the Padres short on rotation arms. Though he won't start Sunday's game against the Rangers, Hart is a likely candidate to pitch in bulk relief behind David Morgan, who isn't expected to cover more than an inning or two as the Padres' opening pitcher. In a corresponding move, San Diego optioned righty Stephen Kolek to El Paso.

The Padres optioned Hart to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Bradgley Rodriguez, whose contract was selected by the Padres from Double-A San Antonio. Hart was promoted to the majors to start against the Marlins on Wednesday and allowed five runs on six hits and no walks while striking out one batter in 4.2 innings in a no-decision. He'll head back to Triple-A, where he has a 3.07 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 12:12 K:BB across 14.2 innings.

Hart did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 10-8 loss to the Marlins, allowing five runs on six hits and no walks with one strikeout over 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Hart threw 39 of 57 pitches for strikes but struggled to miss bats and was tagged for two home runs. He exited in the fifth inning with two runners aboard, and both scored on a homer surrendered by reliever David Morgan. Making his first major-league start since April 23, Hart has now allowed five earned runs in three of his six outings with the Padres this season. He owns a 6.66 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB across 25.2 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Giants next week.

EDGE Analysis

Hart will fill Michael King's (shoulder) spot in San Diego's rotation after King was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday. Hart made the Padres' Opening Day rotation, but he was demoted to Triple-A after logging a 6.00 ERA in five starts. The 32-year-old has made three starts at El Paso, tallying a 3.07 ERA and 12:12 K:BB over 14.2 innings. Omar Cruz was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

EDGE Analysis

The Padres will turn to Hart to fill in the gap in the rotation vacated by Michael King (shoulder), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday. Hart went 2-2 across five major-league starts before being optioned to Triple-A in late April and posted a 6.00 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB across 21 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Hart has had an up-and-down start to the season while sticking in the Padres' rotation, but the result is a 6.00 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 21 innings. The team's exact plans are unclear, though Stephen Kolek was in competition for a rotation spot during spring training and is on the same starting schedule as Hart.
