Patterson and Shelton Join Isotopes

Castro to DL
By
June 4, 2013

Right-handed pitcher Red Patterson returns to the Albuquerque Isotopes today, June 4 after being sent to Rookie-level Ogden on June 1. He will start today's 12:05 p.m. game for the Isotopes. It will be his third start of the season for Albuquerque. Right-hander Angel Castro has been placed on the disabled list with a left oblique strain and right-handed pitcher Matt Shelton joins the Isotopes from extended spring training.

Patterson has appeared in 16 games for the Isotopes this season and has started two contests. As a starter, he is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA (7 ER/7.0 IP) and he is 2-1 overall with a 5.29 ERA (19 ER/32.1 IP). He punched out seven batters against Colorado Springs on May 22 which remains a season-high by Isotopes relievers in 2013.

The 26-year-old reached the Triple-A level for the first time in his career this season with the Isotopes. He was selected in the 29th round of the 2010 First-Year Player Draft and served exclusively as a starter his first two seasons making 42 starts. Patterson transitioned into the bullpen in 2012 with Double-A Chattanooga.

Castro started yesterday's game and exited after the first inning. He is 4-2 with a 3.45 ERA (23ER/60.0IP) in 13 appearances (nine starts) this season. The Dominican native was originally drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 13th round of the 2006 First-Year Player Draft.

Shelton joins his first Triple-A roster today. The 24-year-old Texas native has made four appearances with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga this season, posting a 3-0 record with a 5.06 ERA (3 ER/5.1IP). He has allowed two walks, four hits and struck out three without allowing a home run. The 6-4 righty was originally drafted by the Dodgers in the 24th round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft and has spent seasons with Rookie League Ogden and Single-A Great Lakes in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Over his three year professional career, he holds a 10-7 record with a 2.73 ERA (30 ER/99.0IP) over 66 appearances, all from the bullpen.

Albuquerque completes their four-game homestand today at 12:05 PM MDT against Oklahoma City. Red Patterson (2-1, 5.29) takes the ball in his first game back with the Isotopes against right Philip Humber (0-0, 6.14). Catch all of the game action on 610 AM "The Sports Animal" with Josh Suchon on the call.
