With Kevin Cameron going on the 15 day DL we have brought Estes up from AAA Portland.
Here's his story: Estes, 35, ruptured his elbow tendon while throwing to first base in his first Padres start on April 7, 2006, and hasn't pitched in the major leagues since. The minor league contract he signed with the Padres last winter allowed him to ask for free agency if he was not on San Diego's major league roster on May 15. (That was only 1 week away!!!!)
Bud Black said Estes "is best-suited to start and we'll see how that plays out." Estes was 4-2 with a 3.67 ERA in the minors this season.
