Jesse Hahn has been called up to make a spot start for the San Diego Padres Tuesday night vs. the Pirates. He impressed the Padres coaching staff and almost made the club coming out of spring training. Despite coming off of Tommy John surgery, they have really high hopes for him.
"We feel what we saw in Spring Training with Jesse was a Major League arm, big league stuff, good head on his shoulders," Black said. "Some of the other guys we considered, it just didn't quite fall on their day and maybe they hadn't pitched with the consistency that Jesse has pitched his last couple times out."
I am not sure how long this stay with the club will be, as spot starters tend to be sent back down after the start, but he will join Joe Saunders as the only other VT alum in the majors. Hopefully, this will lead to longer stints and eventually a permanent roster spot.
They should be joined soon by Austin Wates, who has been doing well in the Astros' minor league system.
