Padres Claim Sean Poppen From Diamondbacks

By Darragh McDonald | December 2, 2022 at 4:31pm CDT

The Padres announced that they have claimed right-hander Sean Poppen off waivers from the Diamondbacks.

Poppen, 29 in March, has seen some time in the majors in each of the last four years with the Twins, Pirates, Rays and Diamondbacks. Over those four seasons, he’s thrown 67 1/3 innings with a 5.08 ERA, 22.3% strikeout rate, 10% walk rate and 42.9% ground ball rate.

Poppen was frequently optioned by the D-Backs this season and also threw 25 1/3 innings in the minors. In that time, he posted a 4.62 ERA, with a 17% strikeout rate, 6.3% walk rate and 41% ground ball rate. He’s now out of options, meaning the Padres will have to keep him on the major league roster or else place him back on waivers at some point.

There had been no previous indication that Poppen had been designated for assignment but Arizona evidently put him on waivers in recent days. Their recent signing of Miguel Castro gave them a full 40-man roster but this claim drops them to 39. That move was perhaps made with an eye towards next week’s Rule 5 draft.

      He’ll be super in Cali though his fragile schtick is special dough chess.

    The missing piece. He would have gotten Harper out.

      Could have pitched around or walked Harper 2-3 times and extended that series

    Padres hope to have claimed the Tampa Bay Rays/Durham Bulls version of Poppen.

    Probably won’t be on 40 man long. Nice depth for a team who can get him past waivers. Petco is a nice fit for him.
