The San Diego Padres have reinstated right-hander Kevin Correia from the bereavement list in time to start Saturday night's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

To make room on the roster, right-hander Adam Russell was optioned to Triple-A Portland.

Correia was placed on the bereavement list on Tuesday, three days after his younger brother, Trevor, died after falling from a 60-foot cliff while hiking on Santa Cruz Island.

Russell was recalled Tuesday but did not appear in a game.
