Pfaadt Recalled to ARI Rotation After Triple-A Stint, Thriving Since
After a demotion to Triple-A Reno, Pfaadt returned to Arizona's starting rotation June 30 and has posted elite numbers across 11 starts.
Brandon Pfaadt struggled badly in his first three 2026 starts and was moved to the bullpen, then demoted to Triple-A Reno. He spent fewer than four weeks in the minors before being recalled and slotted back into Arizona's rotation. Since his June 30 return, Pfaadt owns a 1.15 ERA over his first nine starts back and ranks eighth in pitcher WAR over that span. His strikeout rate remains low at 15.8%, making his run-prevention performance an analytical outlier.
