Paddack (2-6) took the loss Friday, surrendering nine runs (eight earned) on 12 hits and a walk over four innings as Minnesota was dropped 10-3 by Houston. He struck out only one.
EDGE Analysis
The nine runs and dozen hits were both career worsts for Paddack, who coughed up at least one run in every frame until he got lifted after 85 pitches (56 strikes). Some regression was probably overdue -- the rough outing ended a stretch of 11 straight starts allowing three runs or fewer. He posted a 2.25 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 48:16 K:BB in 64 innings during that span. Paddack will look to rebound in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road next week in Cincinnati.

Paddack came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander needed 86 pitches (55 strikes) to deliver his fourth quality start in his last six trips to the mound, a stretch in which he's posted a 1.85 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 28:6 K:BB over 39 innings. Paddack has stayed healthy in 2025, and the 29-year-old has emerged as an incredibly consistent option for Minnesota, pitching five innings or more and giving up three earned runs or fewer in 12 straight trips to the mound. Paddack will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Houston.

Paddack didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Seattle, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over eight innings. He struck out 10.
EDGE Analysis
Paddack threw 110 pitches Sunday, and despite notching his fifth career start with double-digit strikeouts and allowing merely one run, he didn't receive enough run support to land the win. Paddack blanked the Mariners until the seventh inning when Cal Raleigh clubbed a solo home run. In his last five starts, Paddack has a 1.64 ERA and a 26:4 K:BB over 33 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Blue Jays his next time out.

Paddack (2-5) took the loss against Tampa Bay on Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out five batters over 5.1 innings
EDGE Analysis
Paddack allowed just three hits through five scoreless frames but ran into trouble in the sixth, surrendering a single and a double while retiring only one batter. That resulted in the right-hander getting the hook, and he was charged with two runs when both of the runners he left behind scored on a Jonathan Aranda homer off reliever Brock Stewart. Minnesota was unable to come back, resulting in Paddack's fifth loss of the campaign, but this was nonetheless another promising outing by the veteran hurler. After giving up 12 earned runs over his first two starts of the season, Paddack hasn't yielded more than three earned runs in any of his subsequent nine outings. He's posted a 2.34 ERA during that span, bringing his mark down to a respectable 3.92 overall.

Paddack (2-4) took the loss Wednesday against Cleveland, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Paddack tied his season high in hits allowed - yielding more than five hits for the first time since Apr. 6 - but he extended his streak of starts allowing three or fewer earned runs to nine. The 29-year-old has a 3.98 ERA and a 35:19 K:BB in 52.0 innings of work this season. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Rays early next week.

Paddack won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Guardians since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mother Nature has wreaked havoc on this series, as Monday's contest was suspended after three innings and was set to resume prior to Tuesday's regularly scheduled game. The suspended contest is now set to resume Wednesday ahead of the second game of the series, and the other game is scheduled to be made up as part of a doubleheader Sept. 20. Paddack is likely to pitch in one of Wednesday's contests, with the suspended game being advantageous since the Twins hold a 2-1 lead.

Paddack (2-3) picked up the win Thursday against Baltimore, allowing three hits and one walk with three strikeouts over seven scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Paddack cruised to his second consecutive victory, logging his first scoreless start of 2025. He's now allowed one or fewer runs in three of his last four starts, and he owns a 1.85 ERA with 13 strikeouts in 24.1 innings during that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday against the Guardians.

Paddack (1-3) earned the win Friday against the Giants after allowing one run on three hits and no walks in 7.1 innings. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
Paddack had a perfect game going through 5.2 innings, but Christian Koss' sixth-inning single spoiled that bid. Even so, it was the longest outing of the year for the veteran right-hander, who also tied his season high with six punchouts. After giving up 12 runs over his first 7.1 innings in 2025, Paddack has tossed at least five frames and yielded two runs or fewer in five of his last six appearances. He sports a 2.51 ERA and 26:10 K:BB across 32.1 innings during this period, offering him plenty of momentum ahead of his next scheduled start against the scuffling Orioles.

Paddack did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 win against the Red Sox, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts over five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Paddack was given an early 1-0 lead but allowed three runs across the second and third innings. The 29-year-old has now completed exactly five frames in five straight starts, yielding a combined eight earned runs during that stretch. He'll bring a 5.57 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB across 32.1 innings into a scheduled home matchup with the Giants next weekend, though his overall line remains inflated by a nine-run blowup in his season debut.

Paddack didn't factor in the decision Tuesday at Cleveland after allowing one run on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Paddack generated just four swinging strikes on 76 pitches, but the only real damage against him came on a solo homer by Bo Naylor during the third inning. The right-hander has given up just five earned runs across his past five four starts and has gone exactly five frames in each of those outings, but he's marred by an 0-3 record. He's pitching better of late, but Paddack still has an inflated 5.60 ERA for the season since he surrendered nine runs in his season debut.
