Fantasy Impact

Paddack allowed six hits and no walks in the outing. He allowed a solo homer to Mike Yastrzemski but was otherwise pretty solid. The only bummer was it took him 89 pitches to get through five frames so San Diego didn't allow him to go any deeper into the game. His next start comes against a powerful Dodgers lineup.

The Padres announced Chris Paddack will be the team’s Opening Day starter.

Fantasy Impact

It’s obviously the first career Opening Day nod for the young hurler. Paddack impressed in his rookie season last year, compiling a 3.33 ERA to go along with a 0.98 WHIP and a 153/31 K/BB ratio. It’s unclear if the Padres are going to fully unleash their ace when it comes to pitch counts and innings limits, but he is rightfully being drafted as a top-20 starter in fantasy either way. He’ll be followed in the San Diego rotation by Dinelson Lamet and Garrett Richards.

Chris Paddack will make one more intrasquad start as a tune-up for the regular season.

Fantasy Impact

Paddack pitched six innings in his start on Sunday and could push it to seven if everything goes right his next time out. The 24-year-old sophomore is slated to take the ball on Opening Day, July 24th. Paddack has an incredibly promising rookie campaign, highlighted by a 3.33 ERA and an impressive 0.98 WHIP. Consider him a high-end SP2 in fantasy.
