Promoted, in lineup Sunday The Padres recalled Campusano from Triple-A El Paso, and he's batting seventh as the designated hitter Sunday against the Phillies.

Impact Campusano was sent to El Paso in mid-June but is back with the big club, and in the starting nine, for the final game of the first half. The 26-year-old has appeared in nine games with San Diego this season and has gone 0-for-18 with six walks and nine strikeouts.
