Padres' Kyle Hart: Can't get out of first inning
Hart allowed five runs on two hits and four walks in just two-thirds of an inning Sunday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision.
Hart was staked to a three-run lead in the top half of the first inning, but that advantage quickly disappeared. He walked four Cubs and didn't make it out of the frame. Hart's day finished with the bases loaded and the game tied at 3-3, and he was charged two more runs on two balks by Logan Gillaspie. It was a step in the wrong direction after Hart earned a win in his MLB debut. He'll look to bounce back in a home start versus the Rockies next weekend.

Padres' Kyle Hart: Picks up first MLB victory
Hart (1-0) earned the win over Cleveland on Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four batters over five innings.
Hart's start was his first appearance in the majors since he pitched in four games for the Red Sox in 2020. The southpaw worked exclusively in the minors from 2021-2023, then spent last year with the NC Dinos in the KBO, where he pitched well enough to get another big-league look from San Diego. After earning a spot on the Padres' Opening Day roster and a slot in the team's rotation, Hart performed well in his season debut Monday, throwing 51 of 80 pitches for strikes and inducing 10 whiffs while lasting just long enough to pick up the victory. He did yield two homers, but both were of the solo variety, and those were the only runs he surrendered. Hart is next lined up to take on the Cubs this weekend.

Padres' Kyle Hart: Wins final rotation spot
Hart will open the 2025 season as the fifth starter for the Padres, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Hart didn't perform well in his final start of the spring, surrendering six runs over 4.2 innings of work, but he did enough to win a rotation spot over Stephen Kolek. Kolek was optioned to Triple-A El Paso, meaning Randy Vasquez will take over the No. 4 spot and Hart will round out the rotation. He'll tentatively be scheduled to make his regular-season debut March 31 against the Guardians.

Padres' Kyle Hart: Falters in audition for rotation
Hart pitched 4.2 innings in a Cactus League game against Cleveland on Saturday, allowing six runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four batters.
Hart was tagged by Carlos Santana for a two-run home run in the first inning and then served up another two-run shot to Brayan Rocchio in the fourth. The southpaw did manage to retire nine straight batters at one point between the two long balls, but this was nonetheless not a very promising performance. Hart is competing for one of two Opening Day rotation spots, with Randy Vasquez and Stephen Kolek the other pitchers in the equation. Among the three, Hart has been the least impressive this spring -- he has a 9.39 ERA and 1.57 WHIP to Vasquez's 3.38 ERA and 1.88 WHIP and Kolek's 2.19 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. However, it's worth noting that Hart also has only two Cactus League appearances under his belt, as he was set back early during the exhibition slate due to the flu.

Padres' Kyle Hart: Allows two runs in spring start
Hart pitched three innings in a Cactus League contest against Arizona on Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters.
Though this was Hart's second start this spring, it's the first one that officially counted, as his previous outing ended after two frames in a game that was ultimately called due to rain. The southpaw wasn't exactly sharp Sunday against the Diamondbacks, but he did allow the Padres a longer look at him by throwing 59 pitches. Hart averaged just 91.1 mph on his fastball, but that's in line with where his velocity has been throughout his professional career. Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union Tribune has speculated that San Diego may not have seen enough of Hart this spring to make him part of the Opening Day rotation, though Acee remarked following the hurler's outing Sunday that Hart could still be a "viable candidate" if he's able to push up his pitch count in his remaining spring appearances. Even if Hart does ramp up enough during what's left of spring play, he's not guaranteed to earn a starting role, as the Padres are also considering Stephen Kolek and Randy Vasquez for their final rotation spot.

Padres' Kyle Hart: Losing ground in rotation battle?
Hart's lack of game action so far this spring may lessen his chance of beginning the regular season as San Diego's fifth starter, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union Tribune reports.
Hart has pitched in only one Cactus League game so far, and he got in just two innings (without allowing a run) before the contest was stopped due to rain. He then came down with the flu, which temporarily delayed his progression. The left-hander is scheduled to start Sunday against the Angels, and he could get in two more appearances after that, so it's not out of the question that Hart will be able to build up enough to win a job in the rotation. However, manager Mike Shildt recently acknowledged that the Padres haven't had much of a chance to evaluate Hart -- who hasn't pitched in the majors since 2020 and played last year in Korea -- for a rotation role, saying, "We're not as familiar with him, but we like what we've seen. Unfortunately for him, he had a little bit of illness that set him back in his progression, but he can be in a progression to take that role. Just haven't had as much time to evaluate him." If Hart ends up not being able to make the Opening Day rotation, Stephen Kolek and Randy Vasquez would be the leading candidates to begin the campaign as San Diego's fifth starter.

Padres' Kyle Hart: Returns stateside in San Diego
Hart signed Thursday with the Padres on a one-year, $1 million contract that includes a $5 million club option for 2026, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
After reaching a four-year deal with Nick Pivetta on Wednesday, the Padres have further bolstered their rotation depth with the addition of Hart, a 32-year-old lefty whose lone MLB action came back in 2020, when he tossed 11 innings for the Red Sox. Hart was able to secure an MLB deal on the back of his standout performance this past season in the Korea Baseball Organization with the NC Dinos, as he took home the league's equivalent of the Cy Young Award while turning in a 2.69 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 182:38 K:BB in 157 innings. The lower caliber of competition in the KBO certainly helped Hart achieve his lofty results, but it's been increasingly common in recent years for American pitchers to find MLB success upon returning stateside following impressive stints in Korea, with Erick Fedde and Merrill Kelly both standing out as notable examples. Hart will likely still have to impress in spring training to secure his spot in the San Diego rotation, with knuckleballer Matt Waldron representing Hart's top challenger for the No. 5 spot.

Kyle Hart: Seeking return to MLB
Hart is seeking a major-league contract this offseason following a successful season in the Korea Baseball Organization, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Hart, who turns 32 on Saturday, posted a 15.55 ERA in four appearances with the Red Sox in 2020 before bouncing around in the upper minors the next three seasons. He appeared to find something with the NC Dinos in 2024 in the KBO, holding a 2.69 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 182:38 K:BB over 157 innings covering 26 starts. The lefty is technically still under contract with the Dinos until Dec. 1 and they plan to make an effort to re-sign him, but Hart wants to explore interest from major-league clubs. Erick Fedde parlayed a successful one-year stint with the Dinos into a $15 million contract last offseason and then pitched well in 2024 in his return to the majors. Hart hopes to follow the same roadmap.

Mariners' Kyle Hart: Lands with Seattle
Hart signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Monday.
Hart was let go by the Phillies in April, and he'll now head to Seattle where he'll likely serve as organizational depth. He last appeared in the big leagues during the 2020 season with Boston, when he struggled to a 15.55 ERA and 3.09 WHIP with a 13:10 K:BB across 11 innings.

Phillies' Kyle Hart: Signs MiLB deal with Philly
Hart signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Hart has logged only four career appearances at the MLB level, all with the Red Sox during the COVID-condensed 2020 season. The 30-year-old left-hander will probably serve as Double-A or Triple-A pitching depth for Philadelphia in 2023.

Red Sox's Kyle Hart: Receives invite to big-league camp
Hart (hip) received an invitation to the Red Sox's major-league spring training Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
The 28-year-old made his big-league debut in 2020 but surrendered 19 runs over 11 innings before landing on the injured list with a left hip impingement. Hart is a strong bet to begin the season at Triple-A serving as organizational depth.

Red Sox's Kyle Hart: Outrighted off 40-man
Hart (hip) was outrighted to Triple-A on Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Red Sox's Kyle Hart: Shifts to 45-day IL
Hart (hip) was transferred to the 45-day injured list Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
The 27-year-old landed on the injured list with a left hip impingement in early September, and he'll now be sidelined for the rest of the season. Hart finishes his first season in the majors having allowed 19 runs on 24 hits with a 13:10 K:BB over 11 innings.

Red Sox's Kyle Hart: Lands on injured list
Hart was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hip impingement Wednesday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Hart had a rough outing out of the bullpen Tuesday, and he was apparently hampered by an injury that will keep him sidelined for at least 10 days. Given his usage Tuesday, the southpaw will likely pitch out of the bullpen once he returns. Right-hander Andrew Triggs was recalled from the team's alternate training site in a corresponding move.

Red Sox's Kyle Hart: Moves to bullpen
Hart worked two innings out of the bullpen in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Braves, giving up six runs on seven hits while striking out one.
Though the Red Sox never announced Hart was removed from the rotation, his usage in relief Tuesday confirms as much. Ryan Weber received the start Tuesday in Hart's place, while Mike Kickham will join the rotation in Wednesday's series finale to fill in for the injured Nathan Eovaldi (calf).

Red Sox's Kyle Hart: Escapes with no-decision
Hart didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Blue Jays, allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out three.
The rookie got tagged for four runs in the first inning before finally exiting the game in the fourth, but the Red Sox got Hart off the hook for a loss with a big rally in the sixth. He has yet to get out of the fourth frame in any of his three big-league starts, and only Boston's lack of rotation depth is keeping him around. Hart will carry a brutal 13.00 ERA, 3.00 WHIP and 12:10 K:BB through nine innings into his next outing, currently scheduled for Monday at home against Atlanta.

Red Sox's Kyle Hart: Struggles with command
Hart gave up two runs on two hits and four walks over 3.2 innings during Wednesday's win over the Phillies. He had five strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.
The 27-year-old has now issued seven walks through his first two starts, and he delivered only 39 of his 73 pitches for strikes Wednesday. Hart will need to illustrate better command to have a chance to work deeper into games, and his next opportunity should be Tuesday against the Blue Jays.
