JP Sears to Start on Wednesday
JP Sears will start against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. The Padres acquired Sears from the Athletics at the July 31 trade deadline, but after he gave up five earned runs on 10 hits over five innings in his debut on Aug. 4, they optioned him to Triple-A El Paso. The 29-year-old was a competent back-end starter with the A's from 2022-24, but he has posted a career-worst 5.12 ERA with a 1.31 WHIP and 101:30 K:BB in 116 innings this season. He'll have a chance to get on track facing a San Francisco offense that ranks 25th in the majors in runs and has recorded the league's worst wOBA (.272) against lefties.
