Chris Paddack Fantasy Stats

The Miami Marlins designated struggling right-hander Chris Paddack for assignment on Tuesday, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. The Marlins are calling up pitching prospect William Kempner in a corresponding move as a fresh arm for their bullpen. For Paddack's rotation spot on Friday against the division-rival Washington Nationals, left-handers Robby Snelling and Braxton Garrett are both options at Triple-A Jacksonville. Paddack has not been effective at all this year for the Fish, and the Marlins decided to scrub him from the 40-man roster after he allowed seven runs in just 2 2/3 innings in his most recent start against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 30-year-old appears to be healthy despite a recent drop in velocity. In his seven appearances (six starts) for Miami, Paddack went 0-5 with a 7.63 ERA (5.00 FIP) and 1.66 WHIP with 27 strikeouts and 10 walks in 30 2/3 innings. He currently leads the league with 26 earned runs allowed.

Miami Marlins manager Clayton McCullough confirmed that right-hander Chris Paddack will be part of the team's Opening Day starting rotation, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald. The first three spots in Miami's rotation are locked down with Sandy Alcantara, Eury Perez, and Paddack. The 30-year-old veteran joined the Marlins last week to little fanfare after going 5-12 with a 5.35 ERA (5.03 FIP) and 1.28 WHIP with 112 strikeouts and 37 walks in 158 innings over 33 appearances (28 starts) with the Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers. Paddack allowed a league-high 94 earned runs on 166 hits. He wasn't much better the two previous seasons with the Twins, and if he continues to pitch poorly in 2026 with the Fish, a move to the bullpen won't be far off. Opposing hitters continue to tee off against Paddack, as he's allowed 45 long balls the last two years. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere, even in NL-only formats.

Free-agent pitcher Chris Paddack is expected to sign with the Miami Marlins. The two are in agreement on a one-year, $4 million contract that also has some performance-based incentives. The right-hander should begin the season as the team's fifth starter and will look to right the ship after a poor 2025 campaign. The 6-foot-5 hurler spent most of the year with Minnesota before being traded to the Tigers at the end of July. Overall, the former eighth-rounder recorded a 5.35 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and struck out just 112 batters in 158 innings pitched. Until he proves otherwise, the 30-year-old should be left off 2026 fantasy rosters.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Chris Paddack just started on Sunday against the Red Sox, so it isn't entirely surprising to see him left off the roster for the AL Wild Card series against the Guardians. Instead, the Tigers will carry relief pitchers Keider Montero and Paul Sewald. Paddack was one of the Tigers' few in-season pickups but struggled to a 5.35 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and 5.03 FIP in his 33 games between the Twins and Tigers this season. He could still make a start in the ALDS or ALCS if the Tigers advance, but he won't be part of the plan out of the bullpen in this week's series in Cleveland.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Chris Paddack will start on Sunday in the season finale against the Red Sox instead of the originally scheduled starter, Tarik Skubal. Although the AL Central race is tied between the Guardians and the Tigers heading into the final day of the regular season, Detroit has already secured a berth in the playoffs, so Skubal will be saved for the first game of whichever matchup the team draws in the first round. Paddack had been relegated to the bullpen at the beginning of September, so this will be his first start since August 29. It's been a rough year for the righty, posting a 5.27 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and an 11.5 percent K-BB% (6.27 K/9), and he's probably an avoid in DFS for Sunday's contest.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Chris Paddack will take the mound for Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. After clinching a playoff berth, the Tigers have decided to rest ace starting pitcher Tarik Skubal. The Tigers will save him for the playoffs and let Paddack pitch in the regular-season finale. Paddack has been awful with a 7.82 ERA, 1.11 WHIP across 12.2 innings in September. Fantasy managers should avoid streaming him for Sunday's slate.

The Detroit Tigers have activated right-hander Chris Paddack from the bereavement list and optioned outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy to Triple-A Toledo, per Chris McCosky of the Detroit News. Paddack will return to the Tigers' bullpen after missing two games. Since joining the Tigers in a trade with the division-rival Minnesota Twins in late July, Paddack has logged a disappointing 6.89 ERA in 31 1/3 innings. He struggled badly enough over six starts that the Tigers demoted him to their bullpen. The 29-year-old made his first relief appearance with the club on Tuesday and yielded six earned runs on eight hits over 1 1/3 innings. He has totaled 142 1/3 frames this season and gone 5-11 with a 5.37 ERA, a 1.31 WHIP, and 98:32 K:BB.

The Detroit Tigers have placed right-hander Chris Paddack (personal) on the bereavement list and recalled righty Keider Montero from Triple-A Toledo. By MLB rules, Paddack could miss anywhere from three to seven days. The Tigers acquired the 29-year-old from the division-rival Minnesota Twins on July 28, but the move hasn't worked out so far. Paddack has pitched to a 6.38 ERA over 24 innings as a Tiger. Detroit demoted Paddack to its bullpen before his most recent appearance on Sept. 2, when he surrendered six runs in 1 1/3 innings against the New York Mets. Between the Tigers and Twins, Paddack has amassed 142 1/3 frames and gone 5-11 with a 5.37 ERA, a 1.31 WHIP, 98 strikeouts, and 32 walks.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Chris Paddack has been moved out of the rotation and into the bullpen, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Paddack has been horrible with a 5.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and allowed eight home runs since being acquired by the Tigers at the trade deadline. It sounds like this is going to be a permanent move barring any injuries to other starters. The assumption is that Sawyer Gipson-Long will take over in the starting rotation. Paddack is available out of the bullpen during Tuesday's game. Neither pitcher has performed well enough on the mound to warrant rostering in fantasy formats. UPDATE: In addition to being moved to a relief role, the Tigers will place Paddack on the bereavement list on Wednesday.

The Detroit Tigers have activated right-hander Chris Paddack, who will make his team debut Wednesday afternoon against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Paddack was acquired from the Minnesota Twins in a deal that also included right-hander Randy Dobnak, with catching prospect Enrique Jimenez going the other way. Through 21 starts this season, Paddack posted a 4.95 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and a .266 opponents average. He takes the rotation spot of Reese Olson, who is expected to miss the rest of the season with a shoulder strain. Paddack is in his seventh major league season and owns a career 4.49 ERA.
