Musgrove’s Comeback and Padres’ Pitching Crisis | MLB News
Description
Joe Musgrove’s comeback from Tommy John surgery is hitting snags, leaving the Padres’ rotation in chaos. After missing all of 2025, his slow recovery and elbow fatigue have pushed his return date back, forcing the team to rely on rentals like Robbie Ray and Casey Mize while managing a shaky rotation. With Musgrove still under contract through 2027—and likely limited if he returns—plus free-agent looming for King, Pivetta, Ray, Mize, and Buehler, the Padres are navigating a pitching puzzle with major uncertainty ahead.
