Padres and LHP Eric Stults avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.75 million contract.
Stults' stuff is far from overwhelming, but he's proved to be a great fit at Petco Park, posting a 3.62 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over the last season and a half. He eclipsed 200 innings in 2013 and will compete for a spot in the Padres' 2014 rotation. Dec 2 - 10:41 PM

Eric Stults tossed seven strong innings in Saturday's victory over the Giants, allowing three runs on seven hits.

Stults punched out three on the afternoon without walking a batter. He was on the rocks early after Hunter Pence's two-run shot in the third inning put the Giants on top 3-1, but he settled in nicely afterwards. He wraps up the season with an 11-13 record, 3.93 ERA and 131/40 K/BB ratio in 203 2/3 innings. While he'll open the 2014 season in the Padres rotation, he remains best used as a matchup play in mixed leagues.

Eric Stults twirled 6 1/3 frames of one-run ball in a victory over the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Stults surrendered seven hits and a pair of walks, but he fanned five and generally danced out of danger. The southpaw has allowed only five runs over his last three starts to lower his ERA below 4.00 for the first time since late August. Stults, who improved to 10-13 with a 3.94 ERA, will take on the Giants Saturday.

Eric Stults limited the Pirates to two runs over five innings in Tuesday's 5-2 victory.

Stults allowed seven hits and a walk, but he struck out five and was able to limit the damage for the most part. A Marlon Byrd two-RBI single in the third inning were the only runs the Pirates managed against the soft-tossing southpaw. Stults should be avoided this weekend against the Dodgers.

Eric Stults held the Phillies to two runs on six hits over six innings in Wednesday's loss.

Stults struck out five and didn't walk anyone, but two of his hits he permitted were solo homers. He left with the game tied and watched the Padres' relief corps let home a couple runs. Stults had really struggled the last two times out, so this was a step in the right direction. He'll face the Pirates on the road next week.

Eric Stults - S - Padres

Eric Stults was lit up for seven runs on nine hits over just 4 2/3 frames in Wednesday's loss to the Giants.

Stults didn't walk anyone, but he gave up three home runs, something that's pretty hard to do at Petco Park. The left-hander's ERA has risen from 3.45 to 4.07 over his last eight outings. He'll try to rebound next week in Philadelphia.

Eric Stults was slapped with the loss Sunday after giving up three runs on eight hits over six innings to the Cardinals.

He struck out two and walked one. Stults required 124 pitches to complete six innings. The veteran has gone at least six frames in 11 of his last 13 starts. Stults falls to 8-8 with a 3.45 ERA.

Eric Stults held the Giants to one run on five hits over six innings Sunday for his eighth win of the season.

He gave up just two walks and had five strikeouts. Stults, who was coming off a complete game in his last outing, has gone at least six innings in three of his last five starts. He has a 3.40 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 127 innings.

Eric Stults - S - Padres

Eric Stults pitched his second career complete game in the Padres' 2-1 victory over the Rockies on Thursday.

Stults notched his first complete game in his 52nd career start on June 14. The second comes just five outings later. He threw 122 pitches and allowed just four hits in this one. Stults had struggled in consecutive starts coming into the night, but both of them were on the road. The win at Petco moves him to 4-1 with a 2.56 ERA at home this year. He's 3-6 with a 4.31 ERA on the road.

Eric Stults surrendered four runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings Thursday in a loss to the Red Sox.

Stults has struggled in back-to-back outings, taking his ERA from 3.20 to 3.70. Of course, mixed leaguers shouldn't have been using him today anyway, not with him pitching at Fenway Park. He's 3-1 with a 2.85 ERA at Petco this year, compared to 3-6 with a 4.31 ERA elsewhere.

Eric Stults allowed six runs -- five earned -- over 3 2/3 innings Saturday in the Padres' loss to the Marlins.

Stults had been on a roll for a month-plus, but it all fell apart for him on Saturday night against an unimposing Marlins lineup. He yielded seven hits and issued two walks, and was lifted after throwing only 75 pitches. The right-hander will face the Red Sox in Boston next.

Eric Stults hurled seven innings of two-run ball in a no-decision Monday against the Phillies.

Stults was on the hook for a loss before San Diego rallied in the ninth inning. He gave up seven hits and no walks, striking out four. Since going 2-2 with a 5.67 ERA in April, Stults has been nothing less than one of the league's best starters. He posted a 2.66 ERA in May and has allowed two runs or less in all five of his June starts. The southpaw doesn't have much in the way of raw stuff, but he's worth trotting out in mixed leagues until the clock strikes midnight, whenever that might be.

Eric Stults pitched a two-hitter for his third career complete game as the Padres edged the Diamondbacks 2-1 on Friday.

Gerardo Parra doubled to start the top of the first and came around to score on a sac fly. After that, Stults gave up just one more hit the rest of the way and recorded his first complete game since a shutout in 2009. In his last four starts, Stults has given up five earned runs and just one walk in 31 innings. He's certainly not this good, but he's a decent play in mixed leagues with the Giants, Phillies and Marlins next on the schedule.

Eric Stults pitched well against his former team Monday despite taking a loss, yielding just two runs over seven frames against the Dodgers.

Stults allowed six hits, didn’t walk anyone and struck out three, but he was undone by a pair of longballs, as Adrian Gonzalez and Scott Van Slyke both got to him. The southpaw has underwhelming stuff but continues to give the Padres solid work, putting up a 3.74 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. Fantasy owners should avoid him at Coors this weekend.

Eric Stults struck out a career-high 12 while pitching eight innings of one-run ball against the Mariners on Wednesday.

The 12 strikeouts was so out of character for Stults that you have to go back to 2007 to find the last time he amassed that many between any two consecutive starts. He fanned seven batters in his first start of this year, but his next high total was five and he struck out just two in 6 1/3 innings last time out. In other words, don't expect much more of this from Stults. He's just a spot starter in NL-only leagues.
