San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - The San Diego Padres reinstated pitcher Huston Street from the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday.

Street, who was placed on the DL on May 5 with a strained right lat muscle, has a 0.93 earned run average and four saves for the Padres in 10 games this season.

The Padres acquired Street last December in a trade with the Colorado Rockies. The right-hander has 182 saves in his eight-year career, as well as a 3.07 ERA.

To make room for Street, the Padres optioned pitcher Miles Mikolas to Triple-A Tucson. Mikolas, who was selected from Double-A San Antonio on May 5, pitched 13 2/3 innings with the Padres and had a 3.29 ERA. In addition to allowing 11 hits, Mikolas struck out 12 and walked nine.
