News
	Nick Pivetta has been diagnosed with a right elbow flexor strain. Ari Koslow Thu, Apr 16th	Shane Smith is expected to miss a couple of weeks at Triple-A Charlotte due to a right rotator cuff strain. Ari Koslow Sun, May 3rd
	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	Shane Smith was optioned down to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Wed, Apr 8th
	The Padres placed Nick Pivetta on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. Ari Koslow Tue, Apr 14th	Shane Smith allowed seven earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out one over three innings in Wednesday’s 10-0 loss to the Marlins. Chris Schommer Thu, Apr 2nd
	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	Shane Smith didn't last long Thursday, and the White Sox paid for it in a 14-2 rout, allowing three earned runs runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two over 1 2/3 innings in Thursday’s loss to Brewers. Chris Schommer Fri, Mar 27th
	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	Shane Smith has been named the Opening Day starting pitcher for the Chicago White Sox according to Chuck Garfien. Chris Schommer Sun, Mar 8th
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
