Latest news
The Padres declined Pivetta's $14 million option for 2027 on Saturday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Pivetta endured an injury-plagued campaign in 2026, as he pitched in only eight regular-season games due to a right flexor strain. The veteran hurler did return for the end of the campaign and looked great in September, recording a 1.45 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB over 18.2 innings across four starts. Pivetta also started two postseason contests, allowing three runs across 7.2 frames while registering an 8:2 K:BB in those outings. Despite the promising finish to the campaign, the Padres opted not to pick up Pivetta's option for 2027, perhaps due in part to the fact that the right-hander would have then had an $18 million player option for 2028. San Diego could still look to re-sign Pivetta on a different deal, though he should draw multiple suitors in free agency given the desirability of reliable starting pitching.

Pivetta is scheduled to start Game 3 of the NLDS against the Brewers on Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
The 33-year-old pitched in Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series versus the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing a run on three hits with four strikeouts and two walks over 3.1 innings. Since returning from a flexor strain in early September, Pivetta has a 1.64 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 22:4 K:BB across 22 frames in five games, including the playoff start.

Pivetta didn't factor in the decision in Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Cubs on Wednesday. He allowed one run on three hits with four strikeouts and two walks over 3.1 innings.
The right-hander wasn't particularly sharp as he threw just 36 of 66 pitches for strikes, but all three hits he gave up were singles as he limited Chicago to a single run. Pivetta missed most of the season after suffering a flexor strain in mid-April, but he returned from the IL in early September and posted a 1.45 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB across four starts to close out the regular season. He now tentatively lines up to take the mound in the NLDS versus the Brewers, potentially in Game 3 on Tuesday.

Pivetta allowed four hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out seven over 4.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Thursday.
Pivetta pitched well but wasn't particularly efficient with 87 pitches (59 strikes) in this outing. The right-hander gave up just three runs across 18.2 innings in September after a nearly five-month layoff due to a flexor strain. He ends the regular season with a 3-2 record, 2.86 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 42:8 K:BB across 34.2 innings over eight starts. It's unclear what role he'll have if the Padres secure a postseason berth, but based on recent usage, he may be limited if he functions as a starter.

Pivetta (3-2) allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Marlins on Friday.
Pivetta has given up just three runs over 14 innings since he returned from a right flexor strain. The lone run on his line Friday came on an Agustin Ramirez homer in the third inning. Pivetta is at a 3.30 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 35:7 K:BB across 30 innings over seven starts in the majors this season. He is lined up to make his last regular-season start on the road versus the Dodgers next week.

Pivetta did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks over four innings against the Giants. He struck out five.
Pivetta was mostly solid, with his lone blemish being a two-run homer surrendered to Andrew Knizner in the second inning. Making just his second start back from a right flexor strain dating back to mid-April, the right-hander was lifted at 69 pitches (46 strikes) and fell short of qualifying for the win. In 25 innings (six starts), the 33-year-old owns a 2-2 record with a 3.60 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 31:6 K:BB. Pivetta is tentatively scheduled to pitch Friday against the Marlins.
