JP Sears - Page 11 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Working behind opener Sears will be available behind opener Adam Oller during Saturday's game against Seattle, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sears was initially listed as the starting pitcher for Saturday's matchup, but the team will give Oller some work to begin the game after he was reinstated from the injured list Friday. Sears hasn't been particularly effective recently, posting a 10.43 ERA and 2.11 WHIP in 14.2 innings over his last four appearances.

Clobbered by Mets Sears (6-3) took the loss during Sunday's 13-4 defeat at the hands of the Mets, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks with two strikeouts in 3.2 innings.

Impact Sears limited New York to one run through two frames before permitting two runs on four baserunners in the third and three runs on three baserunners in the fourth. The 26-year-old has experienced an erratic September that features two successful starts, during which he's surrendered two runs across 11 combined innings, but a more concerning three poor starts with 17 runs permitted across 9.2 innings. The culmination is an 8.27 September ERA after posting a 2.53 mark in his first four starts with Oakland. He'll look to get back on track next weekend against Seattle.

Whiffs seven in win Sears (6-2) earned the win during Tuesday's 4-1 victory over Seattle, allowing an unearned run on one hit and three walks with seven strikeouts in five innings.

Impact Sears was lights-out aside from a 37-pitch second inning, when a pair of two-out walks forced in the lone run. The 26-year-old fired 53 of 86 pitches for strikes with nine of the swinging variety en route to a career-high seven strikeouts. The impressive start snaps a two-turn rough patch, during which Sears permitted 11 runs across six innings. He carries a 3.58 ERA into his next start, scheduled for Sunday against the Mets.

Struggles again Wednesday Sears gave up five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three batters in a no-decision versus Texas on Wednesday.

Impact Sears made it through a scoreless first inning before giving up four runs in the second and another in the third. The big blow against him was a three-run homer off the bat of Marcus Semien that gave Texas its first lead. Though Sears exited the game down four runs, he avoided a second straight loss thanks to a ninth-inning Oakland comeback. The southpaw has had a rough go of late, allowing 11 earned runs and five homers over six innings across his past two starts.

Earns fifth win Sears (5-0) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk over five innings in a 5-3 victory over the Mariners. He struck out three.

Impact Sears was sharp again Sunday, allowing just one run to score, a solo shot off the bat of Mitch Haniger in the third inning. The rookie needed just 79 pitches to complete five innings as he earned his second win with the A's and fifth on the season. While he sports a 1.93 ERA, his 4.54 xFIP entering Sunday suggests regression is likely to follow. He next lines up to face the Yankees this weekend.

Effective in first Oakland win Sears (4-0) allowed four hits and three walks while striking out two over five scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Rangers.

Impact Sears fared better in his second start for the Athletics, keeping the Rangers quiet. He threw 76 pitches (47 strikes) in this start, earning his first win with Oakland after being included in the return from the Yankees in the Frankie Montas trade. Sears has logged a 1.95 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB across 32.1 innings through nine appearances (four starts) between the two teams this year. The 26-year-old southpaw should stick in the rotation after Paul Blackburn (finger) was ruled out for the year Tuesday. Sears is projected to make his next start at home versus the Mariners this weekend.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Maintains rotation spot Sears is scheduled to start Tuesday's road game against the Rangers.

Impact Sears is receiving a second straight turn through the rotation while Paul Blackburn (finger) remains on the injured list. In his Athletics debut last week versus the Angels, Sears took a no-decision while striking out three and allowing two earned runs on three hits and no walks over 5.1 innings.

Allows two runs Sears allowed two earned runs on three hits and no walks while striking out three across 5.1 innings Wednesday against the Angels. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Sears was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas prior to the start and made his debut with the Athletics. He faced a subpar Angels lineup, and the only earned runs charged to him came after he exited the game with runners on first and second. Sears should have the chance to stick in the rotation after Paul Blackburn (finger) was placed on the injured list Wednesday. Across 27.1 frames this season, Sears has maintained a 2.30 ERA and an 18:5 K:BB in appearances split between the Yankees and Athletics.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled, starting Wednesday Sears was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Impact Sears was dealt from the Yankees to the Athletics last week, and he allowed a run on four hits and no walks while striking out five in 4.2 innings during his first start at Las Vegas. Sears made seven appearances (two starts) for the Yankees earlier in the year and posted a 2.05 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in 22 innings. The Athletics placed Paul Blackburn (finger) on the injured list Wednesday, so Sears will step in as the starter for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Impact Sears is an interesting starting pitching prospect who will get more of an opportunity in Oakland than he would have in New York. He has a 2.05 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB in 22 innings (seven appearances) in the big leagues this season. Sears is a command/control artist who throws three pitches and relies on spotting his fastball, which he throws roughly 60 percent of the time. He had a 1.67 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 55 strikeouts in 43 innings at Triple-A.

MLB trade deadline 2022: Should Yankees go all-in for Juan Soto?

Heads back to minors Sears was returned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Thursday's doubleheader against the Astros.

Impact Sears served as the 27th man during Thursday's twin bill and allowed two runs on a hit and no walks while striking out one in three relief innings. However, he'll head back to the minors, where he's posted a 2.06 ERA and 0.74 WHIP in 39.1 innings over 10 appearances (eight starts) this season.

JULY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joins big club for twin bill The Yankees recalled Sears from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and designated him as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader in Houston.

Impact Sears will be available as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen for both ends of the twin bill before likely returning to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. Though the Yankees have an opening in the rotation with Luis Severino (lat) recently landing on the injured list, the team is expected to turn to Domingo German (shoulder) -- who is on the 60-day IL but is ready for activation -- rather than Sears when a fifth starter is needed for the first time coming out of the All-Star break.

JULY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Triple-A Sears was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Reds.

Impact The left-hander was called up by the Yankees in early July and covered 3.2 frames in long relief Wednesday after starter Luis Severino was removed with a shoulder injury. Sears had given up only one run across 15.1 innings entering the contest, but Cincinnati scored two runs against him. The 26-year-old could be an option to step into the rotation should Severino be forced to miss any time.

JULY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins major-league roster Sears was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes/Barre on Sunday.

Impact Sears was optioned less than a week ago, but the Yankees are allowed to bring him back since they are placing a player on the injured list (Ron Marinaccio) in the corresponding move. The 26-year-old lefty hasn't pitched at any level since his June 28 outing against Oakland, so he will be available for multiple innings behind Jordan Montgomery on Sunday. Sears has impressed with a spotless ERA and eight strikeouts against four walks in his first four major-league appearances (12.2 innings).

Impact The 26-year-old was demoted immediately after delivering five shutout innings in his first MLB start May 25, and he'll once again head back to Triple-A following another strong outing. Sears threw 48 of his 78 pitches for strikes and generated only seven whiffs, but he gave up just one extra-base hit and kept Oakland off the board. The left-hander is returning to the minors since New York's starting rotation -- which has been one of the best in baseball -- is currently healthy, but he should be the favorite for a call-up any time the Yankees are in need of a spot starter.
