Dylan Cease's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dylan Cease tossed six innings of shutout ball in Friday's 5-0 victory over the Giants, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters on the way to earning his 13th win of the season. It was a nice bounceback game after the Giants roughed him up for four earned runs his last time out. Cease came into the game with a 4.38 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in eight appearances since throwing a no-hitter back in July. Nevertheless, the 28-year-old has a solid 3.58 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 21.5% K-BB% on the season. The righty will face off against Houston at home in his next start on Wednesday next week.

The San Diego Padres have announced their starting rotation for the three-game series that starts on Friday in Miami against the Marlins, and right-hander Dylan Cease will get the ball in the series finale on Sunday. Left-hander Martin Perez will go in the series opener on Friday, while right-hander Matt Waldron will start on Saturday. Cease threw a scoreless inning in his last outing on Tuesday against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates before a lengthy rain delay ended his outing prematurely. The 28-year-old will be plenty rested this weekend for an excellent fantasy matchup against the Fish, where he'll be a must-start in all lineups. Cease threw San Diego's second-ever no-hitter on July 25 against the Nationals and has given up just one earned run in his last 28 2/3 innings in the second half of the season. In his first year in San Diego, he's emerged as a National League Cy Young candidate.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dylan Cease struck out six batters against the visiting division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers over 5 2/3 innings in his start on Wednesday evening at Petco Park. Fresh off last Thursday's no-hitter against the Washington Nationals, Cease secured his fourth consecutive win on Wednesday against the Dodgers while giving up one run on three hits and three walks. Over his last seven appearances, Cease owns a sparkling 1.99 ERA and 0.75 WHIP while fanning 58 hitters and walking 15 through 45 1/3 frames. The hard-throwing 28-year-old right-hander lines up to take the hill during next week's series in a favorable matchup against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.
