San Diego recalls Mike Thompson from Triple-A Portland

The San Diego Padres recalled right-hander Mike Thompson from Triple-A Portland Tuesday night.
Thompson is scheduled to make his major league debut Wednesday night as the starting pitcher at Arizona. Thompson, 5-0 at Triple-A Portland with a 3.79 ERA in seven starts, will take the rotation spot that opened up when Woody Williams went on the disabled list with a strained left calf May 13.
To make room for Thompson on the roster, the Padres optioned right-hander Cla Meredith to Portland.
