4 years agoThe San Diego Padres have not yet announced a starter for Game 1 of Wednesday’s wild-card series, but Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said Tuesday that the team anticipates facing right-hander Chris Paddack. Both Mike Clevinger (biceps) and Dinelson Lamet (biceps) are attempting to work their way back to make starts in the three-game series, although both appear unlikely to be ready in time for Wednesday. If Paddack isn’t ultimately tabbed, righty Zach Davies would be the next likeliest option. Paddack accrued a 4.73 ERA in 12 starts during the regular season, struggling with the home run ball, having yielded 14 in 59 IP.--Jesse Borek
