Overall, Sears closed the regular season at a 5.04 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 117:36 K:BB across 135.2 innings.

Eight Ks salvage poor outing Sears (8-11) took the loss Friday against the Rockies, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk in 4.1 innings. He struck out eight.
Impact Sears registered 13 whiffs en route to fanning at least eight for the second time this season, but it was a weak showing besides the swing-and-miss stuff. The southpaw has now been taken deep in eight consecutive major-league appearances, which now puts him up to 29 homers allowed in 26 outings this year. Friday was likely just a spot start for Sears, who holds a shaky 5.12 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 113:33 K:BB over 130 frames across time with the Athletics and Padres in 2025.
SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

David Morgan (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Sears has made three starts for the Padres since arriving in San Diego at the trade deadline, posting a 5.52 ERA and 8:3 K:BB over 14.2 frames.

Mediocre against Mariners Sears allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out two over 3.2 innings in a no-decision Monday versus the Mariners.
Impact Sears gave up a pair of home runs in a lackluster start, which saw him throw just 58 pitches (37 strikes). He's been inconsistent over three stars with the Padres, allowing 10 runs (nine earned) over 14.2 innings since he was acquired from the Athletics. The southpaw has a 5.01 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 105:32 K:BB through 125.2 innings over 25 starts this season. If Michael King (knee) is ready to return during this weekend's series in Minnesota, Sears could be optioned out or moved to the bullpen.
