--RHP Chad Gaudin, 26, has been purchased from Triple-A Portland and will start Tuesday's game in Colorado. Gaudin signed a minor league contract with the Padres on April 12 after being released by the Cubs. Gaudin has a 28-25 major league record with a 4.42 ERA. Gaudin made two starts at Triple-A Portland and allowed no runs on four hits in 8 2/3 innings, striking out 10.
