Cory Burns - R - San Diego Padres
Aug. 3, 2012 - 4:10 PM ET
According to the player's agent, the Padres will promote right-hander Cory Burns to the majors on Friday.
Burns, who was acquired from the Indians for outfielder Aaron Cunningham last December, has an excellent 2.63 ERA and 77/16 K/BB ratio over 65 innings of relief this season with Triple-A Tucson. The 24-year-old right-hander will likely start out in lower-leverage situations before being trusted in the late innings.
