San Diego Set for Reunion with Former Padre in 2025 MLB Playoffs After Three-Year Hiatus
Everyone loves a comeback story, especially in sports. The Chicago Cubs are currently witnessing a remarkable one in Major League Baseball with Drew Pomeranz’s inspiring return. The 36-year-old left-handed pitcher signed with the Cubs after years of injury struggles, having not pitched since August 2021 due to flexor tendon and elbow issues. Now, Pomeranz is playing above expectations for the postseason-bound Cubs.
Key Player for Chicago Cubs’ Playoff Push
As the Cubs aim for a division title in the NL Central, Drew Pomeranz has emerged as a crucial asset. He ranks in the 84th percentile for strikeout rate and boasts an impressive 2.17 ERA across 57 appearances this season. His stats include a 1.067 WHIP and 57 strikeouts, positioning him as the third most effective reliever for Chicago in 2025.
Pomeranz’s Anticipated Matchup Against Former Team
Pomeranz will face the San Diego Padres in the NL Wild Card round, the team with which he previously played. He last pitched for the Padres in 2021, recording a 1.75 ERA over 25.2 innings. His history with the Padres also includes a stint in 2016 before joining the Boston Red Sox. After signing a free-agent contract with San Diego following the 2019 season, injuries sidelined him until now.
Support and Anticipation from Fans and Teammates
The baseball community, especially at Petco Park, is eager to welcome Pomeranz back, with a standing ovation expected if he takes the mound. His upcoming appearance in the Wild Card round will be his first return to San Diego. During the regular season, he did not face the Padres, adding to the anticipation of this potential homecoming.
