SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Padres today announced they have placed right-handed pitcher Huston Street on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left calf and recalled right-handed pitcher Cory Burns from Triple-A Tucson. Executive Vice President/General Manager Josh Byrnes made the announcement.

Burns, 24, made his Big League debut with 1.2 innings of scoreless ball in his last stint with the Padres. He has gone 1-2 with a 3.14 ERA (23 ER/66.0 IP) and three saves in 54 relief appearances for Triple-A Tucson this year. The right-hander allowed a run in his last minor league appearance, snapping a streak of 15 scoreless outings for Tucson (18.2 IP) during which he allowed just five hits while striking out 21. Originally signed as an eighth-round selection by the Cleveland Indians in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft, Burns has gone 7-11 with a 2.36 ERA (56 ER/213.1 IP) and 91 saves in 184 minor league relief appearances over parts of four seasons in the Indians (2009-11) and Padres (2012) organizations.

Street, 29, has gone 2-0 with 21 saves and a 0.75 ERA (3 ER/36.0 IP) in 37 relief appearances this season. The closer has not allowed a run in his last 22 appearances, recording a 21.1-inning scoreless streak that is the longest by a Padre this season and the longest active streak among all NL pitchers. He currently ranks second among all Major League relievers in relief ERA and leads all relievers with a .094 opponent batting average. Over parts of eight Major League season with the Oakland A’s (2005-08), Colorado Rockies (2009-11) and Padres (2012), Street has gone 32-21 with 199 saves and a 2.93 ERA (154 ER/472.1 IP) in 454 career relief appearances.

The 5-foot-9, 183-pounder was drafted by the D-backs in the 34th round of the 2008 First-Year Player Draft out of Arizona State University.
