JP Sears Fantasy Stats

San Diego Padres starting pitcher JP Sears is expected to be recalled to make a spot start against the Colorado Rockies at some point this weekend. The plan is to bring Sears up for a spot start so the regular starters can get extra rest. The 29-year-old has only made three starts with the Padres since being dealt from the Athletics at the deadline. The southpaw holds a 5.52 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and a 8/3 K/BB ratio across 14.2 innings of work with San Diego. Sears remains a risky streaming option even against a shaky Rockies lineup.

The San Diego Padres have optioned left-hander JP Sears to Triple-A El Paso and called up right-hander Alek Jacob. Sears was acquired from the Athletics on July 31 alongside flamethrowing closer Mason Miller. Since then, he has bounced back and forth between Triple-A and the majors, last being recalled on August 20. The 29-year-old has made 25 major league starts this season, posting a 5.01 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and a .265 opponents average. After a difficult season, Sears will look to bounce back and turn his performance around at the Triple-A level.

San Diego Padres left-hander JP Sears will start against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. The Padres acquired Sears from the Athletics at the July 31 trade deadline, but after he gave up five earned runs on 10 hits over five innings in his debut on Aug. 4, they optioned him to Triple-A El Paso. The 29-year-old was a competent back-end starter with the A's from 2022-24, but he has posted a career-worst 5.12 ERA with a 1.31 WHIP and 101:30 K:BB in 116 innings this season. He'll have a chance to get on track facing a San Francisco offense that ranks 25th in the majors in runs and has recorded the league's worst wOBA (.272) against lefties.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher JP Sears has been optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday. Sears gave up five earned runs on 10 hits across five innings of work during his team debut on Monday. This rough outing pushed him to a 5.12 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 101/30 K/BB ratio across 23 starts this season. The expectation is that Sears will be back at some point during the season. For now, right-handed reliever Sean Reynolds has been recalled to take his spot on the active roster. Sears isn't someone that needs to be rostered while he sits in the minors.

Athletics starting pitcher JP Sears was sharp on the mound during Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Sears has been hit around quite a bit lately, but put together arguably his best performance of the season on Saturday. Sears tossed 5 scoreless innings, allowing two hits, walking three batters, and striking out four in the win. He handed the ball over to Jack Perkins who helped stop the Yankees offense and complete the 7-0 shutout. Sears will take a 5.09 ERA into his next outing against the San Francisco Giants. He's really only worth looking at in deep leagues right now.

Athletics starting pitcher JP Sears was once again sharp on the mound during Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. The left-hander went 6 1/3 innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits, while striking out two batters. Sears isn't the biggest name out there, but he was quietly put together a strong season. Over his last four starts, Sears has posted a 1.95 ERA while allowing two earned runs or less in all those outings. Overall, Sears has a 2.93 ERA with a 32/6 K/BB ratio across seven starts. He has been a popular waiver wire pickup over the last few weeks. He'll have a tough matchup ahead of him against the New York Yankees next week.

Athletics starting pitcher JP Sears continued his strong start to the season in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rangers. Sears pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with seven strikeouts. The 29-year-old has been effective through his first six starts, going 4-2 with a 2.94 ERA, a 1.07 WHIP, and an 8.02 K/9 rate in 33 2/3 IP. He has been a useful fantasy streamer throughout his career, but his middling floor has limited his fantasy value in roto leagues. That being said, he is rostered in just 29 percent of leagues and draws a favorable matchup in his next scheduled start, which is at the Marlins.

Athletics starting pitcher JP Sears seemingly had no issues on the mound during Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Sears was excellent as he tossed six scoreless innings allowing only three hits and two walks in the win. The southpaw only struck out two batters, but fantasy managers will still take this kind of outing. Sears has now earned three quality starts over his first four starts of the season. He'll take a 3.13 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, with 18 strikeouts into his next start against the Texas Rangers. This should be a more challenging matchup for Sears, but he's still worth a look in standard 12-team formats.

Athletics left-handed pitcher JP Sears looked great in his season debut, only allowing five hits, no walks, and two runs while striking out seven over 6 2/3 inning in the 2-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Although Sears was tagged with the loss in this contest, he went toe-to-toe with Mariners young pitcher Bryan Woo. Sears' only blemish in this one was a two-run home run by Julio Rodriguez in the sixth inning. Next up for Sears will likely be on the road in Colorado next weekend to take on the Rockies. Sears will look to keep it going against them, although Coors Field is always a tough place to pitch. Fantasy managers may want to consider sitting Sears next weekend, but be encouraged by what they saw on Sunday for the long haul.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Osvaldo Bido will rejoin the starting rotation on Tuesday against the Houston Astros. Bido was skipped on Saturday, potentially to reduce his workload as he is nearing his total from last year. This is an important move for fantasy, as Bido becomes a two-start pitcher this week (as long as the A's don't skip his next start as well) with the second matchup being against the lowly White Sox. He is a solid option in standard-size leagues, especially points leagues. Also noteworthy is that JP Sears is no longer a two-start pitcher and will lose the juicy White Sox matchup.
