The Padres optioned Kerr to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kerr was sent packing to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for Blake Snell (groin), who was activated from the 10-day injured list in advance of his scheduled start Wednesday in Philadelphia. During his week-and-a-half-long stay with the big club, Kerr made two appearances out of the bullpen and gave up two earned runs over 1.1 innings.

Kerr was recalled by the Padres on Saturday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Kerr spent 11 days on the big-league roster earlier in the season but made just one appearance. He could see more opportunities this time around, as he'll be up to replace fellow lefty reliever Tim Hill, who hit the injured list with shoulder inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old was acquired by the Padres in November and missed out on the Opening Day roster, but he'll join the big-league club Friday with Pierce Johnson (elbow) landing on the injured list.

EDGE Analysis

Kerr was traded to the Padres during the offseason, and he allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five in three innings across three relief appearances during Cactus League play. The left-hander will begin the year in the minors but will likely be in the mix to make his major-league debut at some point this season.
