Sun Feb 1801:22Emilio Pagan, Nick Lodolo Throw Bullpens
Cincinnati Reds pitchers Emilio Pagan (sports hernia surgery) and Nick Lodolo (tibia) are both throwing bullpens as Spring Training gets underway, manager David Bell told the media on Saturday. Pagan pitched great as a Minnesota Twin last year, posting a 3.27 FIP, 8.44 K/9, 2.73 BB/9, and 0.65 HR/9. He was also a source of reliability in the Twins' bullpen, tossing 69.1 innings over 66 games, which was just one appearance shy of his career high. Bell did note that Pagan won't be ready for the Reds' opening Spring Training games, but it sounds like he continues to trend in the direction with 26-man roster decisions still more than one month away. Lodolo is also making significant progress, with Bell noting that his bullpen session on Saturday "will shape [the] next steps" in his rehab process. The former first-round pick managed to make just seven starts amidst injuries last year, posting a 5.79 FIP but maintaining a promising 12.32 K/9 and 2.62 BB/9. Assuming he doesn't face any setbacks over the next couple of weeks, Lodolo figures to be ready for Opening Day, too.

Wed Nov 29 202314:02Emilio Pagan Agrees To Two-Year Pact With Reds
Free-agent reliever Emilio Pagan and the Cincinnati Reds agreed to a two-year, $16 million contract on Wednesday. The pact comes with a player option after the first year as well as a buyout and incentives. The right-hander spent the last two seasons with the Twins but earned his contract with a stout 2.99 ERA across 66 appearances and 69 1/3 innings of work in the 2023 season. A seven-year veteran, Pagan owns a career 3.71 ERA across 369 career appearances while locking down 32 saves in that time. He has posted a pair of sub-3.00 ERA campaigns in his career but also worked to a 4.43 ERA or worse from 2020-2022.

Sun May 28 202316:24Emilio Pagan Leaves Early With Possible Arm Injury
Minnesota Twins right-handed pitcher Emilio Pagan (arm) left Sunday's contest against the Toronto Blue Jays early after facing just one batter in relief. Pagan entered the game in the seventh inning and faced one batter, Matt Chapman, who he hit with a pitch. The training staff came out to see Pagan after he hit Chapman, and the 32-year-old left the ball game while favoring his throwing arm. We don't want to speculate, but it's usually not a good sign when a pitcher lacks control and then exits the ball game after a meeting with the training staff. Pagan will undergo further evaluations, and the team should provide an update on his status following the end of the game.

Tue Jun 14 202208:33Emilio Pagan Converts His Ninth Save On Monday
Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Emilio Pagan closed out the team's 3-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Monday to earn his ninth save of the year. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one walk and no hits while striking out two. Pagan is 9-for-12 in save opportunities this year with a 2.45 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP and a 2.4 K/BB ratio. Fellow reliever Jhoan Duran was utilized in the eighth inning of Monday's game. Duran has been the team's best reliever this year by most metrics. He's 4-for-4 in save chances this season, but Pagan is still the team's clear favorite for ninth-inning duties.

Mon Jun 6 202218:24Max Kepler, Emilio Pagan Activated From Restricted List
Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler and relief pitchers Emilio Pagan, Caleb Thielbar and Trevor Megill have been activated from the restricted list on Monday. In corresponding moves, Jharel Cotton, Mark Contreras and Ian Hamilton were optioned to Triple-A St. Paul. Kepler, Pagan, Thielbar and Megill weren't able to play in the weekend series in Toronto against the Blue Jays because they aren't vaccinated against COVID-19. Pagan should return to the save's mix for the Twins despite converting only one of his last three save chances. Kepler should be back in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against New York Yankees right-hander Jameson Taillon after their off day on Monday.

Fri Jun 3 202211:29Max Kepler, Emilio Pagan Land On Restricted List
Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler and relief pitcher Emilio Pagan have been placed on the restricted list. The Twins have a series in Toronto, so they will presumably be without these players because they're unvaccinated. Kepler just returned to action last week due to a quad issue, so fantasy managers will be without him again for a few days. The bigger hit to the roster is losing Pagan for this series. Jhoan Duran could be asked to make an appearance or two in the ninth without Pagan available. Fantasy managers should have Duran on their radar this weekend.

Thu Jun 2 202218:17Emilio Pagan Blows Eighth-Inning Lead Thursday
Minnesota Twins right-hander Emilio Pagan appeared in the eighth inning of Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers. He entered with a 2-1 lead but allowed a one-out single followed by a two-run home run to Daz Cameron. Pagan has solid numbers still, sporting a 3.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 22 strikeouts over 18 innings. The former Padre has been treated as the closer, for the most part, this season, picking up seven saves. It might scare fantasy managers that manager Rocco Baldelli didn't preserve Pagan for the ninth. However, he hasn't run into too much trouble in his past few outings, so he should continue finishing games for now.

Sat Apr 23 202208:23Emilio Pagan Converts His Second Save On Friday
Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Emilio Pagan closed out the team's 2-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Friday to earn his second save of the year. It wasn't the smoothest of save conversions for Pagan, as he threw 34 pitches and allowed two walks and one hit. However, he managed to prevent the White Sox from scoring and he is now 2-for-2 in save opportunities on the year. No other Twins reliever has earned a save yet this year. It seems safe to say that Pagan is the clear closer for the Twins right now. Tyler Duffey would likely be next in line if Pagan falters, but Pagan is certainly the player to roster for now.

Thu Apr 21 202217:32Emilio Pagan Locks Down His First Save On Thursday
Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Emilio Pagan closed out the team's 1-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday to earn his first save of the year. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one walk and no hits. The Twins, who are now 5-8 on the year, hadn't had a save opportunity arise before this one. The team is expected to utilize a committee for the ninth inning, but Pagan has a good chance to be the top dog in the committee. He now has a 2.25 ERA and a 0.75 WHIP over four innings on the year. Jhoan Duran could also be in the mix for saves, but he was utilized in the seventh inning of Thursday's contest. Pagan should be rostered in all leagues where saves are highly-coveted.

Sun Apr 11 202122:55Martinez hits 3 HRs in return from COVID list, Bosox top O's
BALTIMORE (AP) — J.D. Martinez came off the COVID-19 list and hit three home runs, powering the Boston Red Sox past the Baltimore Orioles 14-9 Sunday for their sixth straight win. Martinez got a chance at a record-tying fourth homer in the ninth inning and struck out swinging. He is the last of 18 major leaguers to homer four times in a game, doing it in September 2017 for Arizona. The 33-year-old Martinez went 4 for 6 with four RBIs and four runs, one day after being placed on the COVID-19 injured list because of cold symptoms. Rafael Devers homered twice and Alex Verdugo added a three-run shot to finish the three-game sweep. Nick Pivetta (2-0) allowed four runs and seven hits in six innings. Jorge López (0-2) allowed eight runs and seven hits over four innings.

Sat Jan 16 202101:18Padres avoid arbitration with Pham, 4 others
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Padres agreed to an $8.9 million, one-year contract with Tommy Pham, avoiding arbitration with the outfielder who was limited to 31 games last season because of injuries. Pham hit .211 with three homers and 12 RBIs after coming over in a trade with Tampa Bay. His 2020 salary of $7.9 million was prorated to $2,925,926. The Padres also avoided arbitration with right-handers Dinelson Lamet ($4.2 million), Dan Altavilla ($850,000) and Emilio Pagan ($1.57 million), and catcher Victor Caratini ($1.3 million). Lamet came out of his final regular-season start with an elbow issue and missed the playoffs. He’s avoided surgery, but the Padres won’t know until spring training how effective his offseason regimen was. He was 3-1 with a 2.09 ERA and 93 strikeouts in 12 starts. His $1.3 million salary was prorated to $481,481. Altavilla was obtained from Seattle just before the trade deadline. He was 1-1 with a 3.12 ERA in 12 appearances with the Padres, and 2-3 with a 5.75... [More]
Mon Dec 28 202004:44AP source: Padres have deal in place to get Snell from Rays
Two months ago, Blake Snell got yanked off the mound with a two-hit shutout going in the final game of the World Series. Now, the Tampa Bay Rays are ready to ship him out of town. The San Diego Padres are close to completing a blockbuster trade to acquire Snell from the defending AL champions. The teams have an agreement in place and the star pitcher was told he’ll be sent to the Padres — subject to the review of medical records, according to a person familiar with the deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press late Sunday night on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made. According to The Athletic and ESPN, the Rays would receive 21-year-old pitcher Luis Patiño, catcher Francisco Mejía, pitching prospect Cole Wilcox and catching prospect Blake Hunt in return. The Athletic was first to report the players headed from San Diego to Tampa Bay if the trade is finalized. Snell, the 2018 AL Cy Young Award winner, was 4-2 with a 3.24 ERA in 11 starts during the pandemic-shortened... [More]

Mon Oct 5 202004:03A look at all 16 potential World Series matchups
Now, baseball really has a 1981 feel to it. There were already some similarities between the pandemic-shortened season of 2020 and the strike-interrupted version 39 years earlier, but the resemblance is even stronger now that the four division series are about to start. In 1981, the season was split into two halves, so each division champion from the first half played the second-half champ to start the playoffs. That meant two AL East teams facing each other, two AL West teams, two NL East teams and two NL West teams. That’s also what we have this season in the AL and NL Division Series: Rays-Yankees, Astros-Athletics, Braves-Marlins and Dodgers-Padres. It wasn’t planned that way. It’s just how the bracket worked out. The teams from the AL Central and NL Central — divisions that didn’t exist in ’81 — happened to be knocked out. With only four teams left in each league, there are now 16 possible World Series matchups for this year. Here’s a look at each one — and what would make it interesting.... [More]

Wed Feb 19 202012:49Padres beef up bullpen with Pomeranz, Pagan
PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — The San Diego Padres are not taking their long tradition of bullpen excellence for granted this season.Newcomers Drew Pomeranz and Emilio Pagan were added to join defending major league saves leader Kirby Yates and reigning NL holds leader Craig Stammen after Padres’ relievers had an uncharacteristic hiccup last year.“It’s a culture that was created a long time ago, and it’s now under our watch to keep that going,” said Stammen, who has energized his career with the Padres after a torn flexor muscle forced him to miss 2016.“We take that very seriously. We don’t want to be the weak link in the chain, and I think the way they built the bullpen this year, we’ll keep that tradition going.”Hall of Famer Trevor Hoffman (601 saves) passed the baton to Heath Bell, Huston Street and Craig Kimbel in the mid-2010s before Yates had 41 saves in his first full season as closer last year, when the bullpen slipped to a 4.52 ERA, its highest since 2003.“To be in an organization with...
