EDGE Analysis

Paddack surrendered an early solo homer to Masataka Yoshida in the first inning before allowing another three runs to cross in the fourth, highlighted by a two-run shot from David Hamilton. The right-hander never retired more four consecutive batters Sunday and the outing marked the sixth time in the second half he's allowed multiple home runs. The 29-year-old finishes the regular season on a difficult stretch, posting a 7.76 ERA with only 15 strikeouts over his last 31.1 innings across nine appearances.

Paddack will draw the start on the mound in Sunday's regular-season finale against Boston, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paddack will replace Tarik Skubal on the rubber in Game 162 after Detroit secured a playoff berth with a 2-1 win over the Red Sox on Saturday, allowing the team the rest their ace in the regular-season finale. Paddack has struggled to a 7.82 ERA and 1.11 WHIP, while striking out 10 batters over 12.2 innings in five appearances out of the bullpen in September.

Paddack tossed three perfect innings of relief in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Yankees to earn a save. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

After spending a few days on the bereavement list due to a death in the family, Paddack made his first appearance since Sept. 2 and looked sharp working the final three innings of the game to record his first career MLB save, albeit with a big cushion after the Tigers scored nine times in the seventh. It was the veteran righty's second relief outing this year across 29 games overall, and he's expected to stick in the Detroit bullpen moving forward. Paddack has an underwhelming 5.26 ERA and 6.3 K/9 on the season that limit his fantasy appeal, particularly now that he's not in the rotation, though his stuff could play up a bit in long relief.

The Tigers activated Paddack from the bereavement list Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paddack was away from the team the previous three days but will rejoin the Tigers' bullpen for the final two games of the team's series against the White Sox. Paddack has been roughed up across seven appearances (six starts) with Detroit since he was acquired from Minnesota, registering a 6.89 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB across 31.1 innings. He's surrendered 10 home runs in that span.

The Tigers placed Paddack (personal) on the bereavement list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Paddack will be away from the team anywhere from 3-to-7 days following a death in his family. After Paddack had posted a 2-2 record, 5.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB in 30 innings over six starts since being acquired in a trade with the Twins on July 28, the Tigers moved him to the bullpen earlier this week.

The Tigers will place Paddack on the bereavement list Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paddack will miss the Tigers' next three games while he tends to more important matters. The 29-year-old righty was demoted to the bullpen Tuesday with Sawyer Gipson-Long joining the rotation, and it's currently unknown who the Tigers will promote to round out their reliever depth.

Paddack has been moved to the Tigers' bullpen, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paddack will be available out of the team's bullpen beginning with Tuesday's game versus the Mets. The right-hander holds a 5.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB over 30 innings since joining the Tigers. His spot in the Detroit rotation is being absorbed by Sawyer Gipson-Long.

Paddack took a no-decision Friday against the Royals, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks in 3.2 innings. He failed to record a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Paddack was pulled after tossing just 58 pitches, his second-fewest total of the season, and it was his shortest outing since way back on March 31 against the White Sox. Although it was also the second time this year that the 29-year-old right-hander registered zero punchouts, he at least managed to settle down after Kansas City tagged him for three runs in the first frame. Paddack has an underwhelming 5.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB over 30 innings since joining the Tigers, and his streaming appeal will be limited with a tough matchup against the Mets on tap for next week.

Paddack (5-11) earned the win against the Royals on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with one strikeout over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Paddack kept the Royals in check despite landing just 37 of 62 pitches for strikes and generating just one whiff. It was a solid rebound after the 29-year-old surrendered eight runs Sunday, though he's managed only nine punchouts across four August outings. He'll take a 4.98 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 97:32 K:BB over 137.1 innings into a road rematch with Kansas City next weekend.

Paddack (4-11) took the loss Sunday against the Twins, allowing eight runs on nine hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Six of the runs charged to Paddack came in the third inning, highlighted by Brooks Lee's two-out grand slam. The 29-year-old Paddack has given up 12 runs over 9.2 innings in two starts against the Twins, his former team, since joining Detroit at the trade deadline -- he allowed just six runs over 15.2 innings in his other three outings. Overall, Paddack sports a 5.10 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP and 96:31 K:BB across 25 starts (132.1 innings) between the Tigers and Twins this season. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, tentatively lined up for next week at home against the Royals.
