Arano underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow Tuesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Arano suffered a setback in his recovery from an elbow injury earlier in the month, and after receiving a second option from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, it was determined that he would require a scope. The Phillies have yet to release a timeline for his return, so Arano should be considered out indefinitely for now.

Beede will be recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to start Thursday against the Marlins, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Beede spent some time with the big club earlier in the month, making three appearances (one start) and compiling a 13.50 ERA, 3.30 WHIP and 10:8 K:BB in 6.2 innings of work. At this point, it's unclear if the young righty will be given a longer leash this time around.

Cabrera was recalled as expected ahead of his major-league debut Wednesday against the Phillies.

The 22-year-old's numbers through 39.2 innings at Triple-A Memphis hardly scream "big-league ready," as he's struggled to a 6.35 ERA, but he'll get the chance nonetheless. It's unclear if he'll make just one spot start or if he's auditioning for a regular role in the rotation. Outfielder Lane Thomas was sent down in a corresponding move.

Lamet (elbow) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with High-A Lake Elsinore on Wednesday.

Lamet has been pitching in extended spring training games for most of May, working up to three innings multiple times. The right-hander has been sidelined since undergoing Tommy John surgery in April of 2018, so he figures to require a handful of rehab starts before being cleared to rejoin the big-league rotation. The Padres are hoping to have Lamet back by the end of June.

Stephenson gave up two runs in the ninth inning Tuesday night against the Pirates, allowing two hits and a walk over 1.2 innings, striking out two.

With the outing Stephenson's ERA jumped to 3.96, as he's starting to struggle a little bit in the month of May.

Richards (2-5) allowed one run on two hits with five strikeouts and one walk across seven innings while earning a victory against the Giants on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old has certainly pitch poorly at times, but he's also been the victim of poor run support. In his first 10 starts, Richards allowed zero or one run four times and in all of those starts, he settled for a no-decision or took the loss every time. But Richards has now won two of his last three outings. Richards is 2-5 with a 3.82 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 61.1 innings this year. He is scheduled to start next at the Padres on Sunday.

Neris did not allow a baserunner while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Neris had little trouble recording his 10th save of the campaign, with his toughest test being a seven-pitch battle with Matt Carpenter that ultimately resulted in a strikeout. While Pat Neshek and Juan Nicasio have recently figured into the Phillies' save situation, Neris is the team's primary closer with no other reliever on the team recording more than three saves. Neris has shown no signs of relinquishing the role, racking up a 1.90 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with 34 strikeouts across 23.2 innings this season.

Pivetta (3-1) allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six across five innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Pivetta got off to a rocky start, surrendering homers to two of the first four batters of the game. However, he settled in from there and held the Cardinals scoreless for the remainder of his outing. Pivetta's continued struggles with walks and home runs jeopardize his chances of sustained success, but he may have finished well enough Tuesday to earn himself another start. Manager Gabe Kapler has yet to confirm his rotation plans, but Pivetta tentatively lines up for a second start Sunday against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

Sims (1-0) allowed four earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out nine across 7.1 innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Pirates.

Sims dominated the Pirates early, surrendering only three hits through six scoreless innings of work. He tired down the stretch, allowing three of the first four batters he faced to reach base in the eighth frame, capped off by a grand slam by Kevin Newman. The homer overshadowed what was otherwise a strong outing for Sims, as he generated 19 swinging strikes on 100 total pitches. He's unlikely to earn another immediate start in the majors, but Sims made the most of his chance Tuesday.

Yates recorded the save against the Yankees on Tuesday, working around a hit to toss a scoreless ninth inning and preserve a 5-4 victory for the Padres. He didn't record a strikeout or a walk.

That's now 21 saves in as many chances for the right-hander, who successfully protected the one-run lead despite a rare outing where he didn't strike out a batter. Yates continues to dominate in 2019, as he's now boasting a 1.08 ERA and 0.96 WHIP through 25 innings.
