Effective in first Oakland win Sears (4-0) allowed four hits and three walks while striking out two over five scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Rangers.

Impact Sears fared better in his second start for the Athletics, keeping the Rangers quiet. He threw 76 pitches (47 strikes) in this start, earning his first win with Oakland after being included in the return from the Yankees in the Frankie Montas trade. Sears has logged a 1.95 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB across 32.1 innings through nine appearances (four starts) between the two teams this year. The 26-year-old southpaw should stick in the rotation after Paul Blackburn (finger) was ruled out for the year Tuesday. Sears is projected to make his next start at home versus the Mariners this weekend.

Maintains rotation spot Sears is scheduled to start Tuesday's road game against the Rangers.

Impact Sears is receiving a second straight turn through the rotation while Paul Blackburn (finger) remains on the injured list. In his Athletics debut last week versus the Angels, Sears took a no-decision while striking out three and allowing two earned runs on three hits and no walks over 5.1 innings.

Allows two runs Sears allowed two earned runs on three hits and no walks while striking out three across 5.1 innings Wednesday against the Angels. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Sears was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas prior to the start and made his debut with the Athletics. He faced a subpar Angels lineup, and the only earned runs charged to him came after he exited the game with runners on first and second. Sears should have the chance to stick in the rotation after Paul Blackburn (finger) was placed on the injured list Wednesday. Across 27.1 frames this season, Sears has maintained a 2.30 ERA and an 18:5 K:BB in appearances split between the Yankees and Athletics.

Recalled, starting Wednesday Sears was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Impact Sears was dealt from the Yankees to the Athletics last week, and he allowed a run on four hits and no walks while striking out five in 4.2 innings during his first start at Las Vegas. Sears made seven appearances (two starts) for the Yankees earlier in the year and posted a 2.05 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in 22 innings. The Athletics placed Paul Blackburn (finger) on the injured list Wednesday, so Sears will step in as the starter for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Impact Sears is an interesting starting pitching prospect who will get more of an opportunity in Oakland than he would have in New York. He has a 2.05 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB in 22 innings (seven appearances) in the big leagues this season. Sears is a command/control artist who throws three pitches and relies on spotting his fastball, which he throws roughly 60 percent of the time. He had a 1.67 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 55 strikeouts in 43 innings at Triple-A.

Heads back to minors Sears was returned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Thursday's doubleheader against the Astros.

Impact Sears served as the 27th man during Thursday's twin bill and allowed two runs on a hit and no walks while striking out one in three relief innings. However, he'll head back to the minors, where he's posted a 2.06 ERA and 0.74 WHIP in 39.1 innings over 10 appearances (eight starts) this season.

Joins big club for twin bill The Yankees recalled Sears from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and designated him as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader in Houston.

Impact Sears will be available as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen for both ends of the twin bill before likely returning to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. Though the Yankees have an opening in the rotation with Luis Severino (lat) recently landing on the injured list, the team is expected to turn to Domingo German (shoulder) -- who is on the 60-day IL but is ready for activation -- rather than Sears when a fifth starter is needed for the first time coming out of the All-Star break.

JULY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Triple-A Sears was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Reds.

Impact The left-hander was called up by the Yankees in early July and covered 3.2 frames in long relief Wednesday after starter Luis Severino was removed with a shoulder injury. Sears had given up only one run across 15.1 innings entering the contest, but Cincinnati scored two runs against him. The 26-year-old could be an option to step into the rotation should Severino be forced to miss any time.

JULY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins major-league roster Sears was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes/Barre on Sunday.

Impact Sears was optioned less than a week ago, but the Yankees are allowed to bring him back since they are placing a player on the injured list (Ron Marinaccio) in the corresponding move. The 26-year-old lefty hasn't pitched at any level since his June 28 outing against Oakland, so he will be available for multiple innings behind Jordan Montgomery on Sunday. Sears has impressed with a spotless ERA and eight strikeouts against four walks in his first four major-league appearances (12.2 innings).

Impact The 26-year-old was demoted immediately after delivering five shutout innings in his first MLB start May 25, and he'll once again head back to Triple-A following another strong outing. Sears threw 48 of his 78 pitches for strikes and generated only seven whiffs, but he gave up just one extra-base hit and kept Oakland off the board. The left-hander is returning to the minors since New York's starting rotation -- which has been one of the best in baseball -- is currently healthy, but he should be the favorite for a call-up any time the Yankees are in need of a spot starter.

Called up ahead of start Sears was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre prior to his start Tuesday against the A's.

Impact The Yankees haven't needed to use more than five starters for most of the season, so Sears has largely pitched at Triple-A, where he has a 2.25 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB in 28 innings over his last six starts. He also struck out five over five scoreless innings en route to a win in his lone MLB start this season, so there's reason to deploy him in this nice matchup in a spot start against Oakland.

Yankees Hoping JP Sears Can Provide Another Successful Spot Start Sears will make the second start of his MLB career on Tuesday, looking to carry over strong numbers from his season in Triple-A

JUNE 28, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Starting Tuesday The Yankees will call up Sears from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Although the Yankees' starters are fully healthy, Sears will make a spot start against the Athletics to give the team's other starters an additional day of rest. Over his first three appearances (one start) of the season, the southpaw struck out seven in seven scoreless innings. Sears is likely to be returned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Tuesday's outing.

JUNE 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could make spot start Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Sears could be called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this week to make a spot start with the Yankees, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Yankees have all five of their starting pitchers in optimal health, but Boone is still eager to temporarily add another arm to the mix in an effort to afford each member of the rotation some added rest amid a heavy schedule of games. According to Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune, Sears was scratched from his scheduled start Sunday for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, which seemingly supports the notion that he's on track to join the Yankees for their three-game series with the Athletics to begin the week. In his first MLB start May 25 against the Orioles, Sears struck out five over five scoreless innings.

Impact It's not a major surprise Sears was demoted after being called up for a spot start in the wake of Sunday's doubleheader against the White Sox, but it's still a tough draw after delivering a strong performance. The 26-year-old generated 10 swinging strikes and didn't allow an extra-base hit. Sears will return to the rotation for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but he should be in the mix throughout the rest of the season whenever the Yankees require a spot starter.

Promoted to start Wednesday Sears was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and will start Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact The 26-year-old was reported as Wednesday's expected starter earlier in the day, and he's now officially been added to the big-league roster. Sears made his MLB debut earlier this season and has two scoreless innings out of the bullpen, but it now time for his first major-league start. The left-hander has been dominant at Triple-A this year with a 1.25 ERA, 0.61 WHIP and 30:2 K:BB across 21.2 innings. It'll likely only be a spot start for Sears since the Yankees' regular five-man rotation is healthy.
