The Padres haven't named a starting pitcher for Saturday yet, though there appears to be a good chance the team will handle the start internally, perhaps using long relievers Perdomo and Mike Ekstrom to cover the start. Another option, adding Tim Stauffer from Triple-A Portland, would mean opening a spot on the 40-man roster, which is something the team would probably not want to do.

Kip Wells (Reds):
The Reds have signed veteran right-handed pitcher Kip Wells to a Minor League contract.
