Asuaje was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Friday, Dennis Lin of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
With Yangervis Solarte (oblique) landing on the disabled list, Asuaje was recalled to offer some extra infield depth. The 25-year-old went hitless in two at-bats as a pinch hitter for the Padres earlier in the season, though he owns a .250/.369/.373 triple slash with an impressive 33:40 K:BB in 228 at-bats with El Paso in 2017. He could be in line for some regular playing time at second base in Solarte's absence if he's able to hold his own.
