Paddack tossed seven innings against the Phillies on Friday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander bounced back from a rough previous start during which he allowed five runs in 2.1 frames against Arizona. Paddack demonstrated solid control against Philadelphia, throwing 67 of 95 pitches for strikes. Perhaps most impressively, he absorbed a rough first inning in which the Phillies tallied two runs and held them to only one more tally the rest of the way. Paddack has had an up-and-down campaign, compiling a 4-5 record along with a 4.56 ERA. He's pitching well enough to remain in San Diego's rotation but has been a middling fantasy asset. He's tentatively lined up to make his next start against Washington on Wednesday.

Paddack allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two batters in 2.1 innings Friday against the Diamondbacks. He did not end up factoring into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Paddack was a complete no-show Friday after his last two starts combined yielded just four runs while he struck out 20 batters. He had a clean opening inning but allowed three runs in the second after allowing a bases-loaded single and then a double before finally getting out of trouble. He couldn't escape the third after allowing four consecutive hits, which amounted to two more runs for the Diamondbacks. It was undoubtedly a very rough outing for the 25-year-old righty, as his ERA shot up to a 4.68. He'll look to turn things around in his next start, which is currently scheduled to be against the Reds next week.

Paddack (4-5) earned the win Friday against the Reds after giving up two runs on six hits and a walk while fanning 11 across five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Paddack gave up both of Cincinnati's runs, but he still delivered one of his best performances of the season and recorded a season high in strikeouts. He's now fanned at least six in four straight starts and has gone 2-2 with a 5.06 ERA in that stretch. His next turn on the rotation is slated to come next week at home against the Diamondbacks.

Paddack (3-5) allowed two runs on six hits and struck out nine over six innings to earn the win Sunday versus the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The only damage on the 25-year-old's line was a two-run home run by Jose Peraza in the fifth inning. Paddack has posted quality starts in four of his last five outings, and he also notched a season high with nine strikeouts Sunday. He's pitched to a 4.14 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 57:13 K:BB across 58.2 innings this year. The right-hander lines up for a home start versus Cincinnati next week.

Paddack (2-5) lost Sunday's 6-2 defeat at the hands of the Mets, going six innings and allowing three runs on six hits and a walk with six strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Paddack posted his third quality start in 11 turns Sunday but opposing starter Marcus Stroman and two Mets relievers were able to keep a potent Padres offense in check. The decent yet unspectacular outing has become commonplace for Paddack this year, with a key takeaway being the six innings pitched, which ties his season high, while the six strikeouts were one off his peak.

Paddack (2-4) allowed five runs on six hits and walk over 4.1 innings Monday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Paddack was cursed by the long ball Monday with all five runs scoring against him coming off three homers, starting with a two-run shot by Javier Baez in the third inning. It was his first start of the season allowing multiple home runs. The 25-year-old righty had allowed just three runs over his previous 19 innings but saw his ERA jump to 4.24 after Monday's outing. Paddack is lined up to face the Mets at home this weekend.

Paddack allowed one earned run on two hits and no walks while striking out two across six innings Wednesday against the Brewers. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Paddack worked very efficiently, requiring only 68 pitchers to record his 18 outs. He generated only four swinging strikes, but he still limited the damage to only a solo home run off the bat of opposing pitcher Eric Lauer. Paddack is starting to return to his 2019 form, as he's completed consecutive six-inning outings and has allowed only three earned runs across his last 16 frames. For the season, Paddack now has a 3.61 ERA, though he has managed only 36 strikeouts across 42.1 frames.

Paddack (2-3) earned the win over Seattle on Friday, hurling six innings and allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six.
EDGE Analysis
Paddack gave up a run in the first inning, but the San Diego offense handed him eight runs by the end of the second frame, allowing the right-hander to cruise through the remainder of his start. He finished having thrown a season-high six innings and has now yielded only two earned runs over his past three outings covering 13 frames. He'll look to build more momentum in his next appearance, which is currently slated to come at Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Paddack did not factor in the decision against St. Louis on Saturday. He hurled four innings, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was effective in the outing, but a high pitch count prevented him from picking up his second win. Paddack's only allowed run of the game came as the result of a Yadier Molina home run in the fourth inning, and he did not allow any additional extra-base hits. He is tentatively slated to next take the mound at home against Seattle next week.

Paddack pitched three scoreless innings, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out four in the Padres' win over the Giants on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Paddack was pulled after 53 pitches through three innings of work. He was expected to have a short start after missing a week with an undisclosed injury. Despite being his shortest start, it was his first start in which he didn't allow any runs. The 25-year-old's 4.78 ERA is the worst amongst Padres' starters. His FIP entering Sunday was 3.22, showing that he's allowing a high average on balls in play.
