The Padres plan to promote left-hander Jackson Wolf from Double-A to pitch Saturday against the Tigers.
It is always a feel-good story when someone makes his big-league debut. In 150 years, there have been slightly more than 23,000 men to play in the major leagues.It is not ideal for a team fighting to remain even somewhat relevant in the playoff chase.He referred to the hole in the Padres’ rotation created by Michael Wacha’s shoulder fatigue.Now they will turn to the 24-year-old Wolf, who was the organization’s fourth-round pick in 2021.
He had a 4.01 ERA in 23 games for Single-A Fort Wayne and allowed 12 runs in two starts at Double-A San Antonio in 2022. This year, Wolf has a 3.39 ERA over 17 starts in Double-A, and his 5.2 strikeout-to-walk ratio is the best among any Double-A or Triple-A pitcher who has thrown at least 85 innings this season.“I think the one thing that I learned from all those other jumps,” Wolf said, “is to be me and keep playing the same game that I’ve always played.
