Sears has been optioned to Triple-A El Paso after a poor debut where he allowed five runs against the Diamondbacks, pushing his ERA to 5.12. He has previously maintained a 4.95 ERA over 22 starts with the A's and is known for durability, tying for fifth in MLB with 87 starts since 2023. The demotion will not affect his service time as he qualifies for arbitration next winter. San Diego will rely on a four-man rotation, with Darvish and Cortes set for upcoming starts.
Sears made his team debut last night, allowing five runs in as many innings on 10 hits and a walk against the Diamondbacks, resulting in a loss.
Sears, who has been in the majors since 2023 with no injuries, is tied for fifth in MLB with 87 starts over that period.
San Diego acquired Sears alongside Mason Miller in last week's deadline deal, with his demotion not impacting his service trajectory.
Sears has a 5.12 ERA across 116 innings, which ranks in the bottom 10 among pitchers to log at least 100 frames this season.
