Padres' Carlos Asuaje: Slated for callup

Asuaje will be called up from Triple-A El Paso, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Part of the Padres' return for Craig Kimbrel, he put together a fine season with El Paso, slashing .321/.378/.473 with nine homers, 10 steals and a 13.7 percent strikeout rate. However, Asuaje may play primarily off the bench over the final 11 games, and his modest power and speed put a cap on his upside long term despite the solid plate skills.
