Jake Arrieta DFA’d as Padres activate Javy Guerra from 60-day injured list

Jake Arrieta’s stay with the Padres has come to an end.

The 35-year-old right-hander was designated for assignment Tuesday, two days after allowing five runs in one-third of an inning and exiting with a right groin strain.

Arrieta previously spent two weeks on the injured list with a hamstring strain, sustained in his first start after the Padres picked him up following his release from the Cubs.

He allowed three runs in five innings in a start on Sept. 3 but allowed 15 earned runs in 12 1/3 innings over four starts with the Padres, good for a 10.95 ERA that was more than four runs worse than he was over 86 1/3 innings with the Cubs (6.88 ERA).

With Blake Snell and Chris Paddack both on the injured list, the Padres have not announced the rotation past Vince Velasquez and Yu Darvish starting Wednesday and Thursday against the Giants.

Arrieta’s departure allowed the Padres to activate right-hander Javy Guerra (elbow) from the 60-day injured list.

The 25-year-old Guerra, who is out of options, had struck out two over three scoreless innings on a rehab assignment — two in rookie ball and one at Double-A San Antonio.
