2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Returned from injured list
The Twins reinstated Paddack (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Paddack has been on the shelf all season while recovering from a Tommy John procedure he underwent in May 2022 -- the second of his career. He made three rehab starts in the minors, where he gave up four runs over 9.2 innings. Paddack figures to initially serve in a multi-inning relief role during Minnesota's postseason run, and he will likely rejoin the rotation in 2024. The Twins optioned Josh Winder to Triple-A St. Paul and transferred Jovani Moran (forearm) to the 60-day injured list as corresponding moves.

2017
Paddack enters the 2022 season with as much concern as he had hype entering 2020. He exploded onto the season with a stellar rookie campaign, but hit some bumps in 2020 when the league began hunting non-changeups in the count. The lack of a truly effective third pitch has continued to haunt him as Paddack's ratios continue to climb across the board. His 2021 season ended on an unfortunate note of a UCL sprain which required a PRP injection in late September. That measure does not take him out of the woods; far from it. At the very least it puts a crimp on his offseason pitching plans where he normally would have the opportunity to continue working on furthering his curveball which showed some statistical promise last season. His fastball has simply been too hittable the past two seasons, so a deeper repertoire and the confidence to throw any of his three pitches in any count could help stop the ratio bleeding.
