Alek Jacob - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sent back to Triple-A The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Impact Michael King (knee) was activated from the 15-day injured list and is starting Tuesday, so Jacob was optioned to make room. Jacob made three appearances after being recalled Sept. 2, in which he allowed one earned run on two hits with a 3:3 K:BB across 3.1 innings.

Returns to San Diego The Padres recalled Jacob from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Impact Jacob was sent down to Triple-A at the end of August after throwing 4.2 shutout innings in three appearances, and he'll now rejoin the big-league bullpen following Jason Adam's (quad) move to the injured list. Although his most recent showing in the majors was successful, Jacob's 5.40 ERA through 30 innings will likely limit him to low-leverage work.

Sent back to El Paso The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Impact Jacob's latest stint in the majors lasted just five days, with the right-hander making three appearances and allowing just one hit and one walk over 4.2 scoreless innings. He'll cede his spot in the bullpen to lefty Kyle Hart, who was recalled from El Paso ahead of Sunday's series finale in Minnesota.

Up from El Paso The Padres recalled Jacob from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Impact Since his demotion to Triple-A in late July, Jacob has logged a 3.38 ERA and 1.28 WHIP alongside a 21:9 K:BB across 13.1 innings with the Chihuahuas. He'll now rejoin the Padres' bullpen to provide some extra depth with JP Sears headed down to the minors.

Returns to Triple-A The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander was called up by San Diego on July 12 and appeared in just one game during his time with the big club, as he covered two scoreless frames Sunday in Washington. It's otherwise been a struggle for Jacob in the majors this season with a 6.39 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB over 25.1 innings.

Recalled from El Paso The Padres recalled Jacob from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Impact Since his last MLB appearance May 24, Jacob has given up nine earned runs across 10.1 innings in Triple-A. Despite his shaky performance, he'll get the call to provide San Diego with some extra bullpen depth heading into the All-Star break. However, he's unlikely to pitch outside of low-leverage situations.

JULY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to minors The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Impact Jacob has been up with San Diego all season and had been pitching decently with a 3.34 ERA through 20 appearances, but he surrendered 10 earned runs in his past two outings, including four runs Saturday in Atlanta. The right-hander will head to the minors in favor of Omar Cruz, who will bolster the Padres' bullpen depth.

Hit hard in relief outing Jacob allowed seven runs (six earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning versus Toronto on Wednesday.

Impact When Jacob entered with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, the Padres were still hanging around despite a 4-0 deficit. The righty reliever allowed two inherited runners plus one of his own to cross the plate before getting the final out in that frame, then allowed six straight hitters to reach (one on an error) without getting an out in the eighth before being pulled with San Diego down 12-0. Jacob held a 2.75 ERA through his first 18 appearances, but he's given up multiple runs in two of his past three outings as his ERA has more than doubled to 5.82. He's a non-factor in fantasy due to a low-leverage role (he has just two holds and no saves across his 21 total appearances) and a low strikeout rate (6.6 K/9).

Impressive in relief outing Jacob struck out two batters in a perfect inning in relief against Colorado on Friday.

Impact Jacob closed out the contest for San Diego, pitching the ninth inning in the 8-0 win. He was efficient and effective, throwing 11 of his 15 pitches for strikes. Friday snapped a string of three straight relief outings in which Jacob worked over one inning, though he hasn't gone past two frames in an appearance this year. He's off the fantasy radar since he's not frequently used in high-leverage situations and doesn't have big strikeout stuff, but Jacob has held his own so far this season with a 3.12 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 5:3 K:BB over 8.2 innings.

Added to roster for NLDS Jacob has a spot on the Padres' roster for the National League Division Series against the Dodgers.

Impact Jacob was optioned to Triple-A El Paso in late September, though that came after the minor-league season had concluded. The righty reliever spent most of the campaign with El Paso but logged seven appearances over two stints with San Diego, posting a 2.45 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB over 14.2 innings. Jacob pitched more than one inning in five of the seven outings and topped out at 3.2 frames against Tampa Bay on Aug. 31.

Dispatched to Triple-A The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Impact Since returning to the majors at the end of August, Jacob has allowed three earned runs over 8.1 innings across three appearances, though he hasn't pitched in a game since Sept. 14. He'll now head back to the minors as the Padres sacrifice some of their bullpen depth to bring back Randy Vasquez, who will start Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Rejoins MLB bullpen The Padres recalled Jacob from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Impact Jacob has allowed one earned run in 6.1 frames with the Padres this season, though he's posted a 5.14 ERA in seven innings since being sent back to the minors Aug. 8. Nonetheless, he'll rejoin the big-league squad to give the bullpen an additional fresh arm, taking the place of Sean Reynolds.

AUGUST 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back to minors The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

Impact Jacob struck out three and gave up a hit over a scoreless 22-pitch inning in relief in Wednesday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to the Pirates. Though Jacob likely would have been available for Thursday's series finale in Pittsburgh, the San Diego bullpen as a whole had been used heavily of late, so he was the odd man out as the Padres called up a fresh long-relief arm in Carl Edwards from El Paso.

AUGUST 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from El Paso The Padres recalled Jacob from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Impact Jacob has spent the entire season with El Paso, putting up a 5.59 ERA and 1.88 WHIP through 46.2 innings. Despite his lackluster performance, he'll be called upon to provide San Diego's bullpen with a fresh arm, replacing Adam Mazur on the active roster.

JULY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to El Paso The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Impact Jacob spent most of last season at Double-A San Antonio but appeared in three games for the Padres in July, throwing three scoreless innings while striking out five and walking one. The 25-year-old had a relatively successful spring as well, and he could receive a mid-season promotion to San Diego's bullpen if he stays hot in Triple-A.

MARCH 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to 60-day IL Jacob (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact Jacob has been on the shelf since late July with a minor flexor strain and a minor UCL sprain in his right elbow. While he will be eligible to return later this month, the smart money would seem to be on the Padres holding him out for the remainder of the season.
