Padres' Jackson Wolf: Jettisoned from 40-man roster

The Padres designated Wolf for assignment Thursday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Carl Edwards, whose contract was selected from Triple-A El Paso. Wolf was reacquired from the Pirates back in April after being designated for assignment and has posted a 7.21 ERA this season at El Paso. The lefty is just 25 years old and has shown some swing-and-miss ability in the past, so it's possible he garners interest via waivers.
