Episode Details

Already sidelined by an elbow flexor strain, Pivetta was poised to be a cornerstone of their playoff push after a stellar 2023 season. With the team now relying on newly acquired Robbie Ray and Casey Mize to fill the void, their wild-card hopes hang in the balance as they sit two games back. The Padres’ fate may hinge on how quickly these new arms can step up—and whether Pivetta’s injury turns into a season-ending setback.
