Robbie Erlin surrendered two earned runs in six innings Saturday as the Padres fell to the Braves.

Robbie Erlin limited the Diamondbacks to one run in six innings Wednesday to win in his return to the majors.

Erlin was sent down in July after posting a 7.15 ERA in four starts and two relief appearances, but he was given another crack over Tim Stauffer and Burch Smith now. There's no reason he can't be a useful NL-only starter in the final month.

Erlin will start for the Padres on Wednesday night against the Diamondbacks. He's a poor fantasy option.

Robbie Erlin will be recalled to start on Wednesday at Arizona.

He's taking the rotation spot of Edinson Volquez, who was given his release. Erlin holds a 7.15 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 22 2/3 innings with the big club this season, so while he does have some long-term potential, he should be avoided now for fantasy purposes.

Erlin was rocked for nine runs in four innings Sunday and holds a 7.15 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 22 2/3 innings with the big club this season. The Padres haven't announced who will replace him in the rotation, but Tim Stauffer is an option.

Erlin left with a lead, but that was blown by the bullpen. He's pitched well in both of his spot starts for the Padres this year, and he deserves a chance to stick around this time. If it happens, he'll be a nice play in NL-only leagues and maybe deeper mixed leagues.
