Nick Pivetta | Fantasy Outlook

Nick Pivetta shines in his return from the injured list and lines up for a strong finish to the week

Pivetta looked sharp in his September 7 return from a long-term elbow flexor strain, tossing five scoreless frames while allowing just two hits and zero walks on 63 pitches against Washington. He immediately stabilizes the back of the rotation for a second-place Padres club riding a four-game winning streak at 78-68, especially crucial with rotation staples Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove sidelined.

Across 21 big-league innings in 2026, Pivetta boasts a stellar 3.43 ERA and 0.95 WHIP, sustaining the momentum from his breakout 2.99 ERA campaign last year. While he punched out just two batters in his return start, his career 10.3 K/9 and our projected 3.75 ERA confirm that elite strikeout upside remains intact as his pitch leash expands.

Looking at the remainder of the schedule, Pivetta concludes his two-start slate on Sunday with a road tilt against the fourth-place Giants and Logan Webb (4.16 ERA, 1.15 WHIP). With his pinpoint control already verified and an opposing offense sitting well under .500, he offers strong ratio protection with upside. Start.
