Avila (0-1) allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out four over three innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Guardians starter Logan Allen was pulled in the third inning after allowing a tying run that knotted the game at 7-7. Avila was better in a longer relief appearance, but he was tagged with the loss due to a lack of offense from Cleveland after that point. Avila has pitched to a 6.11 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB over 17.2 innings across eight appearances between Cleveland and San Diego this season. His ERA is 3.72 across four outings with the Guardians, but it's still possible Avila loses his place on the 26-man roster once Eli Morgan (shoulder) completes a rehab assignment.

The Guardians acquired Avila from the Padres on Tuesday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Avila was designated for assignment by the Friars on Friday, but he will remain on a 40-man roster as he moves to Cleveland. The 27-year-old righty has allowed eight earned runs across eight innings through four appearances this year, though he still holds a 3.77 ERA throughout his career.

The Padres designated Avila for assignment Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Avila has struggled in his four outings this season, allowing eight runs on five hits and six walks while striking out nine in eight innings over that span. In a corresponding move, the Padres recalled left-hander Adrian Morejon from Triple-A El Paso.

Avila did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three hits over five scoreless innings in a 2-1 victory over the White Sox. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Avila had a fine start to end the season after working as a reliever in his previous two outings. The right-hander ends the campaign with a 3.22 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with 54 strikeouts across 50.1 innings. Notably, his 1.46 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 24.2 innings as a reliever may lead to more chances in that role in 2024.

Avila improved to 2-2 on the season in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Athletics, tossing three scoreless innings while allowing just one hit and one walk and striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

Avila was deployed in bulk relief, entering the game after Nick Martinez opened the contest with three shutout frames. The 26-year-old Avila has now sandwiched a pair of scoreless outings around a disastrous start against the Dodgers on Monday, when he allowed seven earned runs over 2.2 innings. Avila should retain a spot in San Diego's rotation during the upcoming week, though he could be deployed behind Martinez once again when his turn comes up next weekend versus St. Louis.

Avila allowed seven runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two over 2.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Avila was not up for the challenge Monday, giving up a run in each of the first two innings before completely falling apart in the third. Aside from a sharp outing versus the Phillies last week, Avila hasn't shown much as a start, allowing 18 runs (13 earned) over 16.2 innings across his last four appearances. He's at a 3.63 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 40:22 K:BB through 39.2 innings over 11 outings (five starts) this season. If he starts again, he's lined up to face the Athletics on the road this weekend.

Avila (1-2) allowed two hits and six walks while striking out one over 6.2 shutout innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Avila was far from dominant, but the Phillies weren't able to string together enough pressure to make the right-hander pay for his shaky command. He threw 91 pitches (50 strikes) in his longest outing of the season. Avila is now at a 2.19 ERA despite a 1.35 WHIP and 38:19 K:BB through 37 innings over 10 appearances (four starts) this season. He's tentatively lined up for a challenging road start versus the Dodgers next week.

Avila (0-2) took the loss against San Francisco on Thursday, allowing six runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out five batters over three innings.

EDGE Analysis

Avila got through two scoreless innings having yielded just one hit before things fell apart for him in the third. Of the first six batters he faced, one struck out, three singled and two reached on errors by first baseman Matthew Batten. Avila was unable to recover from the defensive miscues behind him and ended up surrendering two more hits as the Giants put up six runs in the frame. The right-hander has lost both of his starts since moving into the rotation Aug. 26 but may continue to work in that role with Yu Darvish (elbow) recently going on the IL and Joe Musgrove (shoulder) still working his way back to action.

Avila will start Thursday's game against the Giants at Petco Park.

EDGE Analysis

Avila flopped while stepping into the rotation for a struggling Rich Hill last weekend in Milwaukee, lasting 4.1 innings while giving up five earned runs on five hits and two walks in a losing effort. Despite the poor showing, Avila won't lose hold of his starting role, as the Padres will have room for both the 26-year-old right-hander and Hill in the rotation after Yu Darvish (elbow) was moved to the injured list earlier this week.

Avila (0-1) took the loss against Milwaukee on Saturday, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 4.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Avila got a chance to take a turn in the rotation Saturday after pitching to a 1.17 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB over his first 23 big-league innings (primarily in long relief) this season. The move looked like it could be a wise one when the right-hander began with four scoreless frames, but the Brewers racked up four hits and a walk while recording just one out against him in the fifth, with all five baserunners ultimately coming around to score. It's worth noting that the first two knocks against Avila in the fifth frame were an infield single and a bunt single, but the inning was disastrous for him nonetheless. It's unclear if he'll get another chance to start or return to a bullpen role in his next outing.
