Jake Esch: Released by Padres
Esch was released by the Padres on Monday.
Esch lost his 40-man spot last weekend and he's now out of a job entirely. While his 0.87 ERA with Double-A San Antonio this season looks well and good, he had 10 walks in just 10.1 innings with the affiliate, and his track record at the upper levels leaves much to be desired.

Padres' Jake Esch: Designated for assignment
Esch was designated for assignment Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
The move opened a roster spot for Phil Maton. Esch, 27, currently holds an impressive 0.87 ERA over 10.1 innings with Double-A San Antonio this season.

Padres' Jake Esch: Shipped to Triple-A
Esch was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
Esch only appeared once out of the big-league bullpen, but he failed to record an out and walked two batters, so he'll head back to the minors for more development. Kevin Quackenbush was called up to claim his spot in the bullpen.

Padres' Jake Esch: Receives big-league promotion
Esch was recalled from Double-A San Antonio on Tuesday.
Esch was promoted to the big-league club after Luis Perdomo was placed on the 10-day disabled list with shoulder inflammation, opening up a spot on the 25-man roster. The 27-year-old will likely operate in a very low-leverage relief role during his stint in the majors.

Padres' Jake Esch: Scooped up by Padres
Esch was claimed off waivers by the Padres on Friday.
The right-hander had a brief cup of coffee with the Marlins last season, but he didn't find much success during that stint (or during his time in the minors, for that matter). That being said, the Padres rotation is a disaster, so if Esch can improve his performance against minor leaguers this season, he could find his way up to San Diego sometime over the summer.

Marlins' Jake Esch: Sent to Triple-A
Esch was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
Esch, who allowed three runs on five hits and three walks in 1.2 spring frames, failed to deliver much in three MLB starts last year (5.54 ERA) and hasn't wowed with his minor league numbers (4.02 career ERA) either. The 26-year-old will continue serving as organizational depth.

Marlins' Jake Esch: Continues major league struggles Tuesday
Esch pitched 3.2 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits, including two homers, and one walk while striking out two Braves in Tuesday's no-decision.
Esch's third big league start went no better than his first two, and he now owns a 5.54 ERA and 1.77 WHIP. The 26-year-old rookie has a poor 10:6 K:BB ratio and has surrendered 17 hits, including four homers, over 13 innings. Struggling against the league's worst team proves Esch is far from ready to take on major league hitters. He'll look for his first career victory when he toes the rubber in his next start Monday versus Washington.

Marlins' Jake Esch: Suffers loss on Labor Day
Esch (0-1) took the loss on Monday, allowing three runs in five innings. The rookie gave up three hits, walked two, and struck out six.
Esch has now given up five runs over 9.1 inning in his first two major league appearances. The 26-year-old wasn't having a particularly good season in the minors before his recall, posting a 5.70 ERA for Triple-A New Orleans and a 4.03 mark for Double-A Jacksonville earlier in 2016. Esch's next start will be Sunday against the Dodgers.

Marlins' Jake Esch: Optioned to Double-A on Wednesday
Esch was optioned to Double-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.
The right-hander struggled mightily with the big club in spring training, walking five batters and giving up three runs in two innings pitched. He'll head back to the minors, where he could possibly split the season between Double-A and Triple-A.
