2024 Fantasy Outlook
Paddack returned in late September from May 2022 Tommy John surgery (his second) and had perhaps the best stretch of his career in the postseason as a reliever and will be counted on as a starting pitcher in 2024. Paddack threw just five innings in the regular season but had eight strikeouts and just one walk, averaging a career-high 95.3 mph fastball. He reached 99 mph with his fastest pitch. He then threw 3.2 scoreless innings in the playoffs with six strikeouts and no walks. The Twins hope it's a sign he can return to his 2019 form when he had a 3.33 ERA and 26.9% strikeout rate for the Padres. At his peak, Paddack has good command and a plus change-up to keep hitters off balance. His innings may be limited in his first full season back from Tommy John surgery, however. Read Past Outlooks
Faces hitters Monday
Paddack (forearm) threw a live batting practice session Monday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Paddack is slated to throw again Thursday before the Twins make a decision on whether to activate him from the 15-day injured list. He's been sidelined since late July with a right forearm strain and would surely return as a reliever, if he does make it back later this week or during the postseason.

2017
Paddack had a tantalizing rookie season in 2019, but hit some bumps in 2020 and struggled in 2021. Minnesota traded for him before last season believing they could turn him around. After a promising five starts (4.03 ERA and 1.72 FIP), Paddack suffered an elbow injury and required Tommy John surgery for the second time (also in 2017). He could return in the second half of the 2023 season, but may need some time to regain his command. With two elbow surgeries and a downward trend to his career before the trade to the Twins, it's not certain he'll be part of a MLB rotation again.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be traded
According to Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic, Paddack is a candidate to be traded by the Twins during the offseason.
ANALYSIS
Paddack pitched only 88.1 innings in the 2024 regular season due to forearm issues and ended the campaign on the injured list after being diagnosed with a strain in July. The right-hander made 17 starts in 2024 and finished with a 4.99 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 79:21 K:BB. Paddack is owed $7.5 million in 2025, and a trade would make sense as Minnesota continues to tightly manage its payroll with the team owners looking to sell.
