Nick Pivetta’s return to the Padres is on hold after a rehab setback, pushing his comeback to mid-September at the earliest — and possibly altering his role from starter to bullpen contributor. With a deeper rotation now featuring Casey Mize and Robbie Ray, the team may not have time to ramp him back up to full starter speed. The injury also stripped him of his opt-out clause, leaving the Padres with club options for 2027 and 2028 worth $14M and $18M respectively. If he returns healthy in time, he could be a key arm for the playoff push — whether on the mound or in the pen.
