Impact Pfaadt's season finale was a microcosm of his season -- strong control, a few mistakes and a hearty dose of bad luck. He allowed four or more runs in four of his last seven starts of the season, winning just one of those games. Overall, he ended the year at a 5.25 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 147:37 K:BB across 176.2 innings across 33 starts.

Decent in no-decision Pfaadt allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Pfaadt had some trouble against Teoscar Hernandez, who hit a solo home run and a two-run triple off the Arizona righty. Other than that, it was a fine performance for Pfaadt, who has not taken a loss in his last seven outings. He's allowed 21 runs over 39.2 innings in that span, but he's also posted a 34:7 K:BB, showing some improvements in control down the stretch. For the season, he has a 5.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 142:37 K:BB through 172.2 innings across 32 starts.

Nothing to show for nine scoreless Pfaadt didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-1 extra-innings loss to the Giants, allowing just one hit and one walk over nine scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

Impact Had he gotten any run support at all, Pfaadt would have delivered his first career shutout on 97 pitches (65 strikes) in the best performance of his career. Instead, the right-hander had to settle for a no-decision as neither offense woke up until the 11th inning. Pfaadt has produced two quality starts in three September outings, but he got tagged for five runs in 4.2 frames in the other, and since the beginning of August he carries a 4.83 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB over 50.1 innings even with Wednesday's stellar effort. He'll try to continue wrapping up his regular season on a high note in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Dodgers.

Continues to get hit around Friday Pfaadt didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Twins, allowing five runs on nine hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He struck out two.

Impact Pfaadt has mostly struggled lately, having now tossed fewer than five innings while surrendering at least four runs in three of his last four outings. Friday was also notably the right-hander's ninth start of the season where he was tagged for at least eight knocks, and he's now given up more hits (187) than any other pitcher in 2025. Pfaadt will take a rough 5.31 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 131:34 K:BB across 157.2 innings into a scheduled appearance against the division-rival Giants.

Sharp in 13th win Pfaadt (13-8) allowed one run on six hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over six innings to earn the win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

Impact After allowing 10 runs over his last two starts in August, Pfaadt was impressive to begin September. He threw 65 of 96 pitches for strikes and limited the damage to an RBI single by Masataka Yoshida in the third inning. Pfaadt is up to 10 quality starts in 29 outings this season, though just three of them have come since the All-Star break. He has a 5.18 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 129:33 K:BB through 153 innings this season. The 26-year-old's next projected start is expected to be on the road in Minnesota.
