Lyles (forearm) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Sunday.
According to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, Lyles will be available out of the bullpen for the next couple of days if needed. The right-hander could be a candidate to re-enter the rotation during the four-game series next weekend against the Cubs, when the Padres will require a new fifth starter to replace Luis Perdomo (shoulder). Prior to getting shut down in late June with the forearm injury, Lyles posted a 4.79 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over eight starts.
