News
	The Padres transferred Nick Pivetta to the 60-day injured list. Ari Koslow Tue, Jun 2nd	The Diamondbacks optioned Brandon Pfaadt to Triple-A Reno. Ari Koslow Thu, Jun 4th
	Nick Pivetta has been diagnosed with a right elbow flexor strain. Ari Koslow Thu, Apr 16th	Brandon Pfaadt pitched the final 6.1 innings on Sunday and allowed just a run on four hits, walked two, and struck out three during Arizona's 10-4 loss to Toronto. David Leisering Mon, Apr 20th
	Matt Waldron (lower body) is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day IL later this week to take over Pivetta's rotation spot. No return timeline has been established for Pivetta, as the Padres are still awaiting MRI results on his elbow. Bruno Mulé Wed, Apr 15th	Brandon Pfaadt will transition into a relief role for the Diamondbacks. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Mon, Apr 13th
	The Padres placed Nick Pivetta on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. Ari Koslow Tue, Apr 14th	Brandon Pfaadt suffered his first loss of the season on Saturday after allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits in six innings in a 4-3 loss to Philadelphia. Pfaadt walked three and struck out six. David Leisering Sat, Apr 11th
	Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta departed Sunday's start against the Rockies due to right elbow stiffness, as per the team. Brenton Kemp Sun, Apr 12th	Brandon Pfaadt allowed three runs on six hits with two walks and two strikeouts in 4.2 innings on Sunday during Arizona's 6-5, 10-inning, victory over Atlanta. David Leisering Mon, Apr 6th
Notes
	Nick Pivetta's 2025 breakout in San Diego was supported by real skill growth, highlighted by elite run prevention, a sub-1.00 WHIP, and career-best contact suppression (.195 BAA, .583 OPS against). His strikeout rate dipped slightly from peak Boston levels, but improved command and a sharp reduction in hard contact and BABIP drove a massive jump in value. Pivetta's projections appropriately pull him back from ace-level ratios, yet still view him as a strong mid-rotation fantasy starter with above-average strikeouts and solid run support. Fantasy managers should treat Pivetta as a high-floor SP3/4 rather than fully buying the Cy Young-adjacent ceiling he flashed in 2025. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
