2025 Fantasy Outlook
After a promising return from Tommy John surgery in 2023 where he excelled as a reliever, Paddack moved back to the rotation but struggled in 2024 before his season ended in July due to a forearm strain. Paddack saw declines in his strikeout rate (8.1 K/9) and velocity (93.3 mph average fastball), while giving up a lot of home runs (1.4 HR/9). Paddack does limit walks (2.1 BB/9) and gets batters to chase (11.4% swinging strike rate) at a good rate. Ultimately he hasn't been able to stay healthy. Paddack has had two Tommy John surgeries and thrown more than 100 innings just twice in his career. He was close to returning from his forearm strain at the end of last season, so he should be ready for spring training where he'll return as the No. 4 or No. 5 starter. Read Past Outlooks

Collects win in Detroit debut
Paddack (4-9) picked up the win in Wednesday's 7-2 victory over the Diamondbacks, allowing one run on three hits over six innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.
Analysis
The right-hander celebrated being dealt to a Tigers team in the thick of the race for the best record in the AL by delivering his sixth quality start of the season on 84 pitches (58 strikes) in his debut for his new squad. Paddack has had an uneven campaign, posting a 4.77 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 88:27 K:BB through 117 innings, but simply being able to take a regular turn in the rotation has to count as a successful season -- that innings total is his highest since 2019. He'll look to build on this performance in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Twins team that just traded him away.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
2020
2019
2017
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Possible trade piece
The Twins could look to trade Paddack ahead of the July 31 deadline, reports Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic.
Analysis
The right-hander is on an expiring contract, so he's an obvious candidate to be dealt should Minnesota elect to sell. Paddack has a 5.14 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 75:27 K:BB across 105 innings this season, so he likely wouldn't net the Twins a significant return package.
