News
	Nick Pivetta has been diagnosed with a right elbow flexor strain. Ari Koslow Thu, Apr 16th	Zhuang posted a 4.08 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with 145 strikeouts and 35 walks across 145.2 innings at Double-A Midland in 2025, playing the entire season at that level. Oakland added him to the 40-man roster over the winter. Bruno Mulé Mon, Mar 9th
	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
	The Padres placed Nick Pivetta on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. Ari Koslow Tue, Apr 14th
	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
	Nick Pivetta allowed two runs on four hits over five innings with eight strikeouts and one walk in a loss on Tuesday against the Pirates. Ari Koslow Tue, Apr 7th
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
