2024 Fantasy Outlook
Paddack returned in late September from May 2022 Tommy John surgery (his second) and had perhaps the best stretch of his career in the postseason as a reliever and will be counted on as a starting pitcher in 2024. Paddack threw just five innings in the regular season but had eight strikeouts and just one walk, averaging a career-high 95.3 mph fastball. He reached 99 mph with his fastest pitch. He then threw 3.2 scoreless innings in the playoffs with six strikeouts and no walks. The Twins hope it's a sign he can return to his 2019 form when he had a 3.33 ERA and 26.9% strikeout rate for the Padres. At his peak, Paddack has good command and a plus change-up to keep hitters off balance. His innings may be limited in his first full season back from Tommy John surgery, however. Read Past Outlooks
Shuts down White Sox
Paddack (1-1) allowed six hits over seven shutout innings Monday, striking out 10 and earning a win over the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Paddack retired the first 10 batters he faced and, outside of a bases-loaded situation in the fourth inning, didn't face much trouble. It was a dramatic turnaround after the Orioles crushed him for nine runs in his last outing. Monday's start set new season bests for Paddack in nearly every category, including innings and punchouts. He pulled his ERA down to 5.57 with a 19:5 K:BB through 21 innings. Paddack is lined up for a road matchup with the Angels this weekend.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to Minnesota
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Twins are attempting to acquire Paddack from the Padres.
ANALYSIS
The Twins significantly bolstered their rotation in recent weeks with the acquisition of Sonny Gray and signing of Chris Archer, and the club is now attempting to add Paddack to the mix. Much like Archer, Paddack hasn't trended in the right direction of late with a 5.07 ERA over 108.1 innings last season, but he delivered an impressive rookie campaign in 2019 with a 3.33 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 153:31 K:BB across 140.2 frames. On the flip side, the Friars are interested in trading for Minnesota reliever Taylor Rogers, per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Rogers is expected to be the primary option for the Twins' saves this year if he stays put, though he could have the same exact role in San Diego.

2019
2017
Paddack had a tantalizing rookie season in 2019, but hit some bumps in 2020 and struggled in 2021. Minnesota traded for him before last season believing they could turn him around. After a promising five starts (4.03 ERA and 1.72 FIP), Paddack suffered an elbow injury and required Tommy John surgery for the second time (also in 2017). He could return in the second half of the 2023 season, but may need some time to regain his command. With two elbow surgeries and a downward trend to his career before the trade to the Twins, it's not certain he'll be part of a MLB rotation again.

Working on cutter
Paddack has added a cutter to his arsenal and threw it four times in his spring debut Friday against the University of Minnesota, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Paddack threw 1.2 scoreless innings with two strikeouts and a walk. "I've seen guys throw it, but I've never thrown it," Paddack said. "I'm trying to learn how to use it in certain counts, aggressive hitters, behind in the count, whatever that might be."
