Adam Russell has been recalled from Triple-A Portland.
Part of the Jake Peavy deal, Russell is being recalled to round out the Padres bullpen. He likely won't be making too many appearances.
Adam Russell has been dealt from Chicago to San Diego in exchange for ace Jake Peavy, according to Ed Price's twitter page. Clayton Richard, Dexter Carter and Aaron Poreda were sent to the Padres as well.
Russell will be going to a weaker team in San Diego, but will get to play his home game at pitcher-friendly Petco Park. As a fantasy reliever, his value still looks to remain low however.
Adam Russell is fighting for a spot in Chicago's bullpen, according to the Chicago Tribune. Russell, who held a poor 1.54 WHIP over 26 innings in 2008, is trying to simplify his delivery until he can command his fastball and other pitches in his arsenal. He impressed pitching coach Don Cooper with a fluid overhand delivery during a pen session yesterday.
Russell could improve this season, but would only hold value in deeper leagues that feature middle men, assuming he makes the club out of spring training.
