Yusmeiro Petit: Let go by Padres
Yusmeiro Petit was released by the Padres on Thursday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.Petit signed a minor-league contract with the Padres in early May, but he posted a 7.71 ERA and 1.96 WHIP in 11.2 innings over 11 relief appearances at Triple-A El Paso. The right-hander saw plenty of work in the majors in recent seasons but will return to free agency after failing to generate much production in the minors over the last month.

Padres' Yusmeiro Petit: Joins Padres on minors deal
Yusmeiro Petit signed a minor-league contract with the San Diego Padres on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.Petit is now 37 years old, but he's managed to post an ERA below 4.00 in each of the last five seasons and for nine of the last 10. His 3.92 ERA over 78 innings for the Athletics last season may not be repeatable, however, as it came with a very low 11.8 percent strikeout rate and a 4.72 FIP. He'll audition for a role in the minors and is unlikely to see high-leverage work if he eventually earns a promotion.

Athletics' Yusmeiro Petit: In fine form after stumble
Yusmeiro Petit, who fired 1.1 perfect innings during which he recorded a strikeout in a win over the Astros on Sunday, now has a five-appearance scoreless streak in which he's allowed just a single hit.The strong stretch comes directly in the wake of one of Petit's poorest outings of the season, a Sept. 14 appearance versus the Royals during which he allowed four earned runs on four hits while retiring just one batter and taking his second loss. The rubber-armed veteran has once again logged a hefty workload this season, logging 76 outings entering Monday's action and already establishing a new career high in wins (eight), while also tallying 21 holds and his first pair of saves since his sole Angels campaign in 2017.

Athletics' Yusmeiro Petit: Struggles Tuesday, takes loss
Yusmeiro Petit (8-2) was tagged with the loss in relief Tuesday against Kansas City after allowing four runs on four hits across one-third of an inning, striking out one.Petit entered the game in the sixth inning but was unable to tame the Royals lineup, and he departed the contest after allowing three straight singles and a three-run home run to Salvador Perez. The veteran reliever has enjoyed a decent season, but he seems to be moving in the wrong direction of late and has given up runs in four of his last five appearances. He owns a 3.79 ERA on the year, but he has a 15.43 figure over his first five September appearances.

Athletics' Yusmeiro Petit: Solid thus far in second half
Yusmeiro Petit has a 1.93 ERA across the 4.2 innings covering his four second-half appearances.The high-volume reliever hasn't yet added to his impressive tally of 16 holds since the All-Star break and has blown one save opportunity in that span as well, but Petit continues to consistently limit damage.
