Kolek allowed one run on three hits and one walk over 5.2 frames in a no-decision Sunday at Cincinnati. He struck out five.
Analysis
After coughing up three or more earned runs in each of his three previous starts, Kolek looked much sharper in this 71-pitch outing over which he fired 44 strikes. The San Diego right-hander scattered three singles, with the only run he conceded coming on an Elly De La Cruz single in the sixth inning. Kolek wraps up his June with a respectable 3.38 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 23:11 K:BB across 32 total frames. The 28-year-old is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Rangers at home next weekend.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could remain in rotation
PSan Diego Padres
May 25, 2025
Kolek is likely to stick in the Padres rotation for the near future after Michael King was placed on the injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation.
Analysis
Kolek figures to have a solidified spot in the rotation with King on the shelf. It was possible Kolek was going to be the odd man out sooner than later due to Yu Darvish being on a rehab assignment as he works his way back from elbow inflammation. Now with King injured, Kolek should stick around for a little while longer. Kolek has pitched to a 2.84 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB in 25.1 innings thus far.
