2025 Fantasy Outlook
After a promising return from Tommy John surgery in 2023 where he excelled as a reliever, Paddack moved back to the rotation but struggled in 2024 before his season ended in July due to a forearm strain. Paddack saw declines in his strikeout rate (8.1 K/9) and velocity (93.3 mph average fastball), while giving up a lot of home runs (1.4 HR/9). Paddack does limit walks (2.1 BB/9) and gets batters to chase (11.4% swinging strike rate) at a good rate. Ultimately he hasn't been able to stay healthy. Paddack has had two Tommy John surgeries and thrown more than 100 innings just twice in his career. He was close to returning from his forearm strain at the end of last season, so he should be ready for spring training where he'll return as the No. 4 or No. 5 starter. Read Past Outlooks

Pitches well again despite loss
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
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
2019
2017
Paddack returned in late September from May 2022 Tommy John surgery (his second) and had perhaps the best stretch of his career in the postseason as a reliever and will be counted on as a starting pitcher in 2024. Paddack threw just five innings in the regular season but had eight strikeouts and just one walk, averaging a career-high 95.3 mph fastball. He reached 99 mph with his fastest pitch. He then threw 3.2 scoreless innings in the playoffs with six strikeouts and no walks. The Twins hope it's a sign he can return to his 2019 form when he had a 3.33 ERA and 26.9% strikeout rate for the Padres. At his peak, Paddack has good command and a plus change-up to keep hitters off balance. His innings may be limited in his first full season back from Tommy John surgery, however.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could be traded
According to Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic, Paddack is a candidate to be traded by the Twins during the offseason.
ANALYSIS
Paddack pitched only 88.1 innings in the 2024 regular season due to forearm issues and ended the campaign on the injured list after being diagnosed with a strain in July. The right-hander made 17 starts in 2024 and finished with a 4.99 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 79:21 K:BB. Paddack is owed $7.5 million in 2025, and a trade would make sense as Minnesota continues to tightly manage its payroll with the team owners looking to sell.
