Jake Arrieta News
Veteran starting pitcher Jake Arrieta announced his retirement from the MLB on Monday. He made the announcement as a guest on the Barstool Sports podcast Pardon My Take, saying, "I haven't signed the papers, man, but I'm done. It's time for me to step away from the game." The 36-year-old spent 12 years in the majors. He came up with the Baltimore Orioles but had his biggest impact during his time with the Chicago Cubs. He claimed the 2015 NL Cy Young award after going 22-6 with a 1.77 ERA and a 0.865 WHIP. He finishes his career with 115 wins and a 3.98 ERA.
The San Diego Padres have designated Jake Arrieta for assignment on Tuesday, all but ending his brief tenure with the club. Arrieta signed with the Padres on August 16 after the Chicago Cubs let him go earlier in the year. In 24 starts this season, he owns a 7.39 ERA with an ugly 17.7 K% and 1.77 WHIP. He's been even worse on the west coast, pitching to a 10.95 ERA across four appearances. If he gets another chance with a team and makes the big league club, there's no reason for fantasy managers to pay any attention to the right-hander. In a corresponding move, the Padres activated pitcher Javy Guerra from the 60-day injured list.
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Jake Arrieta (groin) had a rough and extremely brief outing against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. He faced just six batters before he was pulled with a right adductor groin strain. He allowed three hits and one walk and he was charged with a total of five runs (four earned) over 1/3 of an inning. The veteran recently spent time on the injured list due to a strained left hamstring. It seems like there's a good chance he'll be heading back to the injured list once again. Arrieta signed with the Padres in mid-August. Over four starts with the team, he has gone 0-3 with a 10.95 ERA and a 1.86 WHIP.
