Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Padres in March of 2025.
Sent down to El Paso
The Padres optioned Kolek to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Analysis
Kolek will lose his place in San Diego's rotation in favor of Ryan Bergert, who was recalled to start Tuesday's game against the Mets. Kolek has surrendered five earned runs in 11.2 innings across two starts since the All-Star break, but he figures to have a good chance to make another start for the Padres before the end of the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could remain in rotation
Kolek is likely to stick in the Padres rotation for the near future after Michael King was placed on the injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation.
Analysis
Kolek figures to have a solidified spot in the rotation with King on the shelf. It was possible Kolek was going to be the odd man out sooner than later due to Yu Darvish being on a rehab assignment as he works his way back from elbow inflammation. Now with King injured, Kolek should stick around for a little while longer. Kolek has pitched to a 2.84 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB in 25.1 innings thus far.
