SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The San Diego Padres announced a number of roster moves today.  The club has selected right-handed pitcher Anthony Bass from Double-A San Antonio, reinstated outfielder Cameron Maybin from the 15-day disabled list and placed right-handed pitcher Aaron Harang on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 10, with a right foot contusion.  In addition, the club has optioned catcher Kyle Phillips to Triple-A Tucson and designated left-handed pitcher Aaron Poreda for assignment.  Bass is scheduled to start the Padres 5:40 p.m. PT game against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field tonight in his Major League debut.  Executive Vice President/General Manager Jed Hoyer made the announcements.

Scheduled to make the start in his Major League debut tonight for San Diego, he will be the third player to reach the Majors from the 2008 Draft for the Padres, with infielder Logan Forsythe and outfielder Blake Tekotte having also made their Major League debuts this season.  Across four minor league seasons in the Padres (2008-11) organization, he has gone 29-16 with a 2.96 ERA (120 ER/364.2 IP) and 305 strikeouts against 93 walks in 93 games, 66 starts.
