Kirkman was called up by the Padres on Tuesday.
He will provide the San Diego bullpen with some left-handed depth behind Ryan Buchter and Brad Hand. Walks were a major issue for Kirkman last year at Triple-A, and have been during his time at the highest level (55 in 106.2 innings), but the 29-year-old has not issued a walk in six innings with El Paso so far this season.
