Paddack (5-12) took the loss Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing four runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings.
Paddack surrendered an early solo homer to Masataka Yoshida in the first inning before allowing another three runs to cross in the fourth, highlighted by a two-run shot from David Hamilton. The right-hander never retired more than four consecutive batters Sunday and the outing marked the sixth time in the second half he's allowed multiple home runs. The 29-year-old finishes the regular season on a difficult stretch, posting a 7.76 ERA with only 15 strikeouts over his last 31.1 innings across nine appearances.

Tigers' Chris Paddack: Drawing start for Game 162
Rotowire
Paddack will draw the start on the mound in Sunday's game against Boston, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Paddack will replace Tarik Skubal on the rubber in Game 162 after Detroit secured a playoff berth with a 2-1 win over the Red Sox on Saturday, allowing the team the rest their ace in the regular-season finale. Since being acquired from the Twins in July, Paddack has posted a 6.12 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB in 42.2 innings over 11 appearances. He was moved to the bullpen earlier this month but should be able to provide the Tigers with a decent amount of length after tossing five innings of long relief in his most recent appearance Sept. 19 versus Atlanta.

Tigers' Chris Paddack: Looks sharp, earns first MLB save
Rotowire
Paddack tossed three perfect innings of relief in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Yankees to earn a save. He struck out four.
After spending a few days on the bereavement list due to a death in the family, Paddack made his first appearance since Sept. 2 and looked sharp working the final three innings of the game to record his first career MLB save, albeit with a big cushion after the Tigers scored nine times in the seventh. It was the veteran righty's second relief outing this year across 29 games overall, and he's expected to stick in the Detroit bullpen moving forward. Paddack has an underwhelming 5.26 ERA and 6.3 K/9 on the season that limit his fantasy appeal, particularly now that he's not in the rotation, though his stuff could play up a bit in long relief.

Tigers' Chris Paddack: Back from bereavement list
Rotowire
The Tigers activated Paddack from the bereavement list Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Paddack was away from the team the previous three days but will rejoin the Tigers' bullpen for the final two games of the team's series against the White Sox. Paddack has been roughed up across seven appearances (six starts) with Detroit since he was acquired from Minnesota, registering a 6.89 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB across 31.1 innings. He's surrendered 10 home runs in that span.

Tigers' Chris Paddack: Going on bereavement leave
Rotowire
The Tigers will place Paddack on the bereavement list Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Paddack will be away from the team for at least three days following a death in his family. Earlier Tuesday, the Tigers announced that Paddack had been demoted to the bullpen, and the right-hander was put to work right away. He retired just four of the 13 batters he faced in the Tigers' 12-5 loss to the Mets, allowing six earned runs on eight hits.

Tigers' Chris Paddack: Demoted to bullpen
Rotowire
The Tigers removed Paddack from the rotation Tuesday and will deploy him out of the bullpen moving forward, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
The right-hander's demotion to the bullpen comes after he submitted a 5.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB over 30 innings since the Tigers acquired him from the Twins on July 28. Paddack will give up his spot in the rotation to Sawyer Gipson-Long, who was called up from Triple-A Toledo to start Tuesday's game versus the Mets.

Tigers' Chris Paddack: Goes on bereavement list
Rotowire
The Tigers placed Paddack (personal) on the bereavement list Wednesday.
Paddack will be away from the team anywhere from 3-to-7 days following a death in his family. After Paddack had posted a 2-2 record, 5.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB in 30 innings over six starts since being acquired in a trade with the Twins on July 28, the Tigers moved him to the bullpen earlier this week. Paddack struggled mightily in his first relief appearance in Tuesday's 12-5 loss to the Mets, covering 1.1 innings while allowing six earned runs on eight hits.

Tigers' Chris Paddack: Can't get through fourth inning
Rotowire
Paddack took a no-decision Friday against the Royals, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks in 3.2 innings. He failed to record a strikeout.
Paddack was pulled after tossing just 58 pitches, his second-fewest total of the season, and it was his shortest outing since way back on March 31 against the White Sox. Although it was also the second time this year that the 29-year-old right-hander registered zero punchouts, he at least managed to settle down after Kansas City tagged him for three runs in the first frame. Paddack has an underwhelming 5.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB over 30 innings since joining the Tigers, and his streaming appeal will be limited with a tough matchup against the Mets on tap for next week.
Paddack (5-11) earned the win against the Royals on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with one strikeout over five innings.
Paddack kept the Royals in check despite landing just 37 of 62 pitches for strikes and generating just one whiff. It was a solid rebound after the 29-year-old surrendered eight runs Sunday, though he's managed only nine punchouts across four August outings. He'll take a 4.98 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 97:32 K:BB over 137.1 innings into a road rematch with Kansas City next weekend.

Tigers' Chris Paddack: Tagged for eight runs
Rotowire
Paddack (4-11) took the loss Sunday against the Twins, allowing eight runs on nine hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.
Six of the runs charged to Paddack came in the third inning, highlighted by Brooks Lee's two-out grand slam. The 29-year-old Paddack has given up 12 runs over 9.2 innings in two starts against the Twins, his former team, since joining Detroit at the trade deadline -- he allowed just six runs over 15.2 innings in his other three outings. Overall, Paddack sports a 5.10 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP and 96:31 K:BB across 25 starts (132.1 innings) between the Tigers and Twins this season. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, tentatively lined up for next week at home against the Royals.

Tigers' Chris Paddack: Fans four in no-decision
Rotowire
Paddack didn't factor into the decision Monday against the White Sox, allowing one run on three hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out four.
Paddack yielded a lone run for the third time in his last four starts, and the one walk was his first issued since his July 18 outing in Colorado. The 29-year-old right-hander also pitched efficiently, as he threw 54 of his 76 pitches for strikes, though Colson Montgomery did take him deep for a solo shot in the fifth inning. Paddack has a weak 6.34 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over his last 11 starts (55.1 innings), but he'll try to build on Monday's performance this weekend in Minnesota against his former Twins team.
Paddack (4-10) allowed four runs on six hits over four innings while taking a loss against the Twins on Tuesday. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.
Paddack faced the Twins for the first time since being traded from Minnesota to Detroit in July and struggled right out of the gate. He gave up three runs in the first inning, including Luke Keaschall's two-run homer. Trevor Larnach later belted a solo shot in the fourth. Paddack threw only 57 pitches (44) strikes, his lowest pitch total in any outing this year. He produced two straight quality starts before Tuesday's hiccup, and he's now sporting a 4.91 ERA with an 88:27 K:BB through 121 frames. Paddack is expected to face the White Sox in Chicago next week.
Tigers' Chris Paddack: Collects win in Detroit debut
Rotowire
Paddack (4-9) picked up the win in Wednesday's 7-2 victory over the Diamondbacks, allowing one run on three hits over six innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.
The right-hander celebrated being dealt to a Tigers team in the thick of the race for the best record in the AL by delivering his sixth quality start of the season on 84 pitches (58 strikes) in his debut for his new squad. Paddack has had an uneven campaign, posting a 4.77 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 88:27 K:BB through 117 innings, but simply being able to take a regular turn in the rotation has to count as a successful season -- that innings total is his highest since 2019. He'll look to build on this performance in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Twins team that just traded him away.

Tigers' Chris Paddack: Debuting for new team Wednesday
Rotowire
Paddack, who was acquired in a trade with Minnesota on Monday, is set to start Wednesday in Detroit's series finale versus the Diamondbacks at Comerica Park, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Paddack will be taking the rotation spot of Reese Olson, who will miss the rest of the regular season due to a right shoulder strain. The former last took the mound July 23, so he'll be taking the hill Wednesday on six days' rest. In 21 outing with the Twins this season, Paddack posted a 4.95 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 83 strikeouts across 111 innings. While he gives Detroit a veteran presence at the back end of the rotation as the team contends with injuries to starting pitchers, Paddack's numbers don't give fantasy managers much optimism that he'll be a high-end contributor down the stretch.

Tigers' Chris Paddack: Dealt to Tigers
Rotowire
The Tigers acquired Paddack and right-hander Randy Dobnak from the Twins on Monday in exchange for catcher Enrique Jimenez, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Paddack has had an up-and-down 2025 campaign, posting a 4.95 ERA and 83:27 K:BB across 111 innings covering 21 starts. He's coming off a dandy of a performance his last time out on the road against the Dodgers last Wednesday, striking out eight over six innings of one-run ball. With Reese Olson (shoulder) set to miss the rest of the regular season, Paddack seems to have been brought in specifically to replace Olson in the rotation.
