MacKenzie Gore News
San Diego Padres pitcher MacKenzie Gore has been named the starter for Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Mike Clevinger was originally slated to start Sunday's game, but he is being pushed back to Monday. Gore has looked fantastic in his first exposure to the majors this year. He's made six appearances (five starts) and he's pitched to a 2.17 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP while compiling 32 strikeouts across 29 frames. The biggest obstacle standing in front of him at this point is the Padres' starting pitching depth. There's a chance Gore will head back to a bullpen role after Sunday's start, but the Padres' plans remain a bit unclear for now.
According to San Diego Padres beat writer Kevin Acee, rookie left-handed pitcher MacKenzie Gore will be utilized out of the bullpen behind starter Mike Clevinger on Tuesday. The Padres have a surplus of starting pitchers now that both Clevinger and Blake Snell are healthy and Gore appears to be the odd man out for now. The 23-year-old has certainly looked worthy of a rotation spot thus far this year. Over five starts, he's gone 2-1 with a 2.42 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. His move to the bullpen makes things difficult for fantasy managers. In shallow leagues, he can be dropped, but keep your eye out for any further announcements from the Padres. While he has a rotation spot, he's essentially a must-roster player.
San Diego Padres pitching prospect MacKenzie Gore will make his MLB debut on Friday against the Atlanta Braves, according to Padres manager Bob Melvin. Fellow starting pitcher Blake Snell (adductor) is heading to the injured list and Gore will be promoted to take his place in the rotation. The 23-year-old Gore looked great in his Triple-A debut this year, pitching five scoreless innings and allowing just two hits and no walks while striking out seven. The left-hander is a must-add for fantasy managers in all formats due to his immense upside. However, he'll certainly have his work cut out for him in his debut as he'll face a tough Braves offense.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore will likely open 2021 in the minors following the Padres' addition of three new starters to their rotation. But when the opportunity opens up for Gore to join San Diego, he'll be an impact pitcher almost immediately. After hitting a bit of a sophomore slump in 2018, Gore was electric in 2019 between High- and Double-A. Over 20 starts, Gore posted a 9-2 record with a 1.69 ERA, 0.832 WHIP, 35.7 percent strikeout rate, and 7.4 percent walk rate in 101 innings. Granted there was a slight dip in his numbers upon his promotion to Double-A, but it was only down to a 27.8 percent strikeout rate and an 8.9 percent walk rate over five starts. Once a spot opens up for Gore (ADP 338), he'll be a high-end streaming option right out the gate. If he gets more than a brief appearance in the rotation, he'll be a must add in almost every format.
