Dylan Cease Throws Second No-Hitter In Padres History
San Diego Padres right-hander Dylan Cease made history in his outing in Thursday's series finale against the hosting Washington Nationals, throwing only the second no-hitter in franchise history. Cease walked three and struck out nine while throwing a total of 114 pitches in the special outing in San Diego's 3-0 victory to emphatically sweep the three-game series in D.C. Joe Musgrove had the team's first-ever no-hitter back on April 9, 2021, on the road against the Texas Rangers. It was even more impressive for Cease, who was forced to wait through an 86-minute rain delay before he took the mound. Acquired in a trade with the White Sox before Opening Day in 2024, Cease has been the Friars' best pitcher and had given up only one hit in each of his previous two starts before Thursday's gem.
The San Diego Padres Dylan Cease fanned 10 hitters Saturday night in a 7-0 shutout over the Cleveland Guardians. Cease runs his record to 9-8 with the win, to go along with a 3.76 ERA, a 1.03 WHIP and 159 strikeouts in 122 innings. The veteran right-hander has won two consecutive starts, covering 13 innings while surrendering no runs and notching 21 strikeouts in the process. Cease will make his next start against the Washington Nationals next weekend, looking for his tenth win of the season.
Dylan Cease Earns Win, Strikes Out 11 Braves Hitters
San Diego Padres right-hander Dylan Cease earned a win Saturday night against the Atlanta Braves, covering six innings and striking out 11 hitters. Cease has eight wins, a 3.99 ERA, a 1.08 WHIP, and 149 strikeouts in 115 innings pitched. The veteran goes into the All-Star break with a 31%K%, which is in the 93rd percentile, and a 32.1%Whiff%, which is in the 91st percentile in MLB. Cease ranks in the 95th percentile for strikeouts and seems primed for a fourth consecutive season of 200+ strikeouts.
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dylan Cease (7-7) was chased early Tuesday night, picking up the loss after allowing six earned runs in 3 2/3 innings on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts in a 7-0 loss to the Texas Rangers. Cease gave up two home runs to Nathaniel Lowe in his short outing while being tagged for at least one run in all four innings that he pitched. It's been an ugly stretch for the 28-year-old veteran. After finishing June with a 4.94 ERA, Cease increased his season ERA to 4.26 after starting the year off with a 2.62 ERA at the end of April. It looked like a promising beginning for Cease in his first year with his new team. Hopefully, he can get back to the feel he had on the mound in April because he's too talented to be on waiver wires, but at the same time, he's also been hurting fantasy managers everywhere this summer. Look for him to get back on track against the Diamondbacks this weekend.
The Padres List Dylan Cease As Tuesday's Probable Pitcher
San Diego Padres pitcher Dylan Cease is lined up to face the Texas Rangers to open the team's three-game series on Tuesday. It is technically not Cease's turn in the rotation. However, with the injury to Randy Vasquez (forearm) and an off day on Monday, the right-hander will draw the start in the series opener. The 28-year-old is coming off one of his strongest starts of the year, as he tossed seven shutout innings with nine strikeouts against the Washington Nationals last week. He'll look to carry that momentum into Tuesday's start against a Rangers offense that ranks middle of the pack.
San Diego Padres right-hander Dylan Cease turned in a dominant start in an 8-5 win over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday.

Cease has been an excellent source for strikeouts in fantasy this season and should remain locked into starting lineups for his next start, which is set for Wednesday against the Texas Rangers.
Dylan Cease Racks Up Eight Strikeouts in Win Monday

Cease faces an inconsistent New York Mets lineup this Sunday and should be loaded up in your fantasy lineup.
