context_page_description: Tyson William Ross is an American professional baseball pitcher who is currently a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball for the Oakland Athletics, San Diego Padres, Texas Rangers, St. Louis Cardinals, and Detroit Tigers. Ross was drafted by the Athletics in the 2nd round of the 2008 MLB Draft. He made his MLB debut in 2010. Ross was an MLB All-Star in 2014.
context_section_description: On November 16, 2012, Ross was traded to the San Diego Padres with minor league infielder A. J. Kirby-Jones for Andy Parrino and Andrew Werner.
  Ross competed for a starting job in 2013 spring training and won the fifth spot in the rotation. He made three starts for the Padres before suffering a left shoulder subluxation in the process of swinging for his first major league hit. Ross returned from the disabled list on May 5, but was relegated to the bullpen due to concern over his shoulder when batting. After working in relief through early July, Ross was sent down to Triple-A to build up his arm strength and returned to the starting rotation on July 23.  He made 13 more starts for the Padres through the end of the year, posting a 2.93 ERA. The starts included two shutout performances of 7 and 8 innings that raised his prospects for returning to the starting rotation for the 2014 season. He finished the 2013 season with a 3–8 record in 35 games (16 starts) and a 3.17 ERA, with 119 strikeouts against 44 walks in 125 innings. 
  Ross then improved in 2014 with a 13–14 record and 2.81 ERA, with 195 strikeouts (8th in the National League) against 72 walks (8th), and 12 wild pitches (3rd), in ​195 ²⁄₃ innings.} He gave up 7.589 hits per 9 innings pitched (5th in the NL), had 8.969 strikeouts per 9 innings pitched (8th), and gave up 0.598 home runs per 9 innings pitched (5th). He threw a Major League-leading 1,272 sliders.  He received the 2014 Padres Clyde McCullough Pitcher of the Year Award. 
  Ross continued his success from the previous season in 2015 by starting a league-high 33 games and posting a career-high 212 strikeouts (6th in the National League), and 14 wild pitches (leading the league), in 196 innings while leading the league with 84 walks. He was 10-12 and had a 3.26 ERA. He gave up 7.898 hits per 9 innings pitched (9th in the NL), had 9.735 strikeouts per 9 innings pitched (4th), and gave up 0.413 home runs per 9 innings pitched (3rd).  He received the 2015 Padres Clyde McCullough Pitcher of the Year Award. 
  He signed a one-year contract with the team in 2016 for $9.625 million. Ross was named the opening day starter for the 2016 season, but his season was cut short in the very first game of the season. He missed the remainder of the season with a shoulder injury and underwent surgery to relieve the symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome in October, with the surgeon removing one of his ribs in the process. The Padres non-tendered him after the season, and he became a free agent.
