Thu Mar 2109:52Joe Musgrove Hit Hard In Season Debut
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove struggled in his first start of the season in Thursday's victory against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers. Musgrove only lasted 2 2/3 innings and allowed seven hits, five runs, two walks and two strikeouts. The 31-year-old only threw six innings this spring in the Cactus League and was hit hard over that time. Despite that limited action this spring, Musgrove remains a steady option for managers after coming off a 2023 campaign that saw him throw to the tune of a 3.05 ERA with 97 strikeouts in 97 1/3 innings. With an ADP of 96, Musgrove makes for a solid option at the top of managers rotations in 2024.

Fri Feb 2301:28Joe Musgrove Chased From Spring Opener
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove surrendered four earned runs during Thursday's Spring Training opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He struggled mightily in the role, surrendering a walk, single, and hit batter in the top of the first inning before allowing Teoscar Hernandez to drive in two runs with his double. After just four batters, Musgrave was pulled from the game, giving him a total of four earned runs, two hits, and zero outs in the contest. On a positive note, he has plenty of time to shake things off and get back on track before his next start.

Sun Feb 1113:47No Lingering Health Concerns for Yu Darvish, Joe Musgrove
San Diego Padres starting pitchers Yu Darvish (elbow) and Joe Musgrove (shoulder) have no lingering health concerns, according to manager Mike Shildt. The new Padres skipper shared the news with reporters on Sunday as pitchers and catchers are reporting for spring training. This is good news, as both Darvish and Musgrove dealt with season-ending injuries last season. Darvish was placed on the 15-day injured list in August with elbow inflammation caused by a bone spur. The injury ended up cutting his season short, and he finished the campaign with a disappointing 8-10 record, 4.56 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 141:43 K/BB over 136 1/3 innings (24 starts). Musgrove, who started the season late due to a toe injury, was shut down in early August due to shoulder-capsule inflammation in his right arm. Musgrove was effective when healthy, however, finishing with a 10-3 record, 3.05 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 97:21 K/BB over 97 1/3 innings (17 starts). Both pitchers will be key to the Padres' success in 2024, as they'll likely lose free agent and reigning NL Cy Young award winner Blake Snell, and Seth Lugo and ... [More]

Sun Feb 412:28No Limitations For Joe Musgrove, Yu Darvish
San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt said that right-handers Joe Musgrove (shoulder) and Yu Darvish (elbow) are "ramping up full-gear, ready to go, no limitations" heading into spring training in several weeks. "They mixed in a few hitters recently. They're recovering well, so they're ready, healthy." Musgrove made only 17 starts in 2023 after being shut down in early August due to inflammation in his right shoulder. The 31-year-old was statistically solid, as he was in his first two years with the Padres, before his injury and should be a solid No. 3 fantasy starter as long as he looks healthy in spring training. Darvish, 37, is much more of a risk after he was shut down late in August due to a bone spur in his elbow. In addition to his injury, Darvish's dominance has slowly been fading in recent seasons.

Sat Sep 23 202316:41Joe Musgrove Resumes Throwing
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (shoulder) resumed his throwing program on Friday. The right-hander was eased off his throwing sessions in mid-September. However, they've decided to ramp it back up with the Padres pulling within four games of the NL Wild Card. There is only a week left in the regular season, but the Padres have won eight straight games. It looks like they want to try and get Musgrove ready in case they do make the playoffs.

Sat Sep 16 202301:10Joe Musgrove Reportedly Won't Pitch Again In 2023
The San Diego Padres are effectively shutting down starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (shoulder) for the rest of the season by slowing down his throwing progression. The lack of progression in the 30-year-old's throwing program already served as the writing on the wall for this development, which comes as more of a formality than anything else. Musgrove fortunately hasn't experienced any setbacks with his right shoulder, but the Padres have understandably elected to err on the side of the caution considering their placement in the standings. The right-hander's year appears to have reached a close with a 3.05 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 97:21 K:BB covering 97 1/3 innings. With Blake Snell due for free agency this winter, Musgrove will remain a key cog in San Diego's rotation in 2024 after inking a five-year extension in August of 2022.

Thu Sep 14 202319:05Joe Musgrove Still Not Advancing To Mound Work
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (shoulder) has been playing catch for the last couple of weeks, but is "running out of time" for a 2023 return. The 30-year-old "wants to pitch", but is yet to resume throwing on the mound, and an official decision on San Diego's plan for him the rest of the way is due to arrive soon. San Diego's shutting down of Yu Darvish (elbow) earlier this week could be a harbinger for things to come regarding the status of Musgrove, who's recovering from right shoulder capsule inflammation. Fantasy managers should probably brace for a similar fate with the Padres not making real inroads in the National League Wild Card race at this point. The right-hander had returned high-end value when healthy, putting up a 3.05 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with 97 strikeouts and 10 wins over 97 1/3 innings this year.

Sat Aug 26 202300:41Joe Musgrove Plays Catch On Friday
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (shoulder) played catch on Friday for the first time since hitting the 15-day injured list on Aug. 4 with right shoulder capsule inflammation. The 30-year-old came away feeling "great" with the throwing progression marking the first step in his recovery program. Musgrove now works to build up his arm strength over a two-week period. It likely leaves the right-hander in a tough spot to be a fantasy factor down the stretch, as Musgrove remains without a timetable for a return. It is likely contingent upon San Diego's ability to stay in the playoff race, so the former All-Star is not necessarily a must-stash with still quite a long way to go in his rehab anyway.

Tue Aug 22 202312:48Joe Musgrove To Throw On Friday
San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove (shoulder), who is on the 15-day injured list with right-shoulder capsule inflammation, will play catch on Friday for the first time since being sidelined earlier this month, according to manager Bob Melvin. Musgrove will have several rounds of catch before even getting on a mound, and it still remains unclear if he'll be able to pitch again in 2023. The Padres shut the 30-year-old down from throwing for three weeks after he felt stiffness in his shoulder in the days following his start on July 28. General manager A.J. Preller said doctors believe Musgrove won't require surgery, which gives him a chance to return before the end of the season. Even if Musgrove makes it back, he'll be more of a risk in fantasy lineups and won't have much time to make much of an impact.

Thu Aug 10 202315:18Joe Musgrove To Resume Throwing In Late August
San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove (shoulder) is slated to begin playing catch in a little more than two weeks, around Aug. 24, and then get another MRI exam at the end of the month. Musgrove is optimistic about his return this year, but he's committed to not pushing his comeback from right-shoulder inflammation. If he feels good when he resumes throwing and imaging looks good, he will begin a throwing program that could have him back in the starting rotation by mid-September. Any further damage to his shoulder capsule could require surgery. The 30-year-old has been great for fantasy managers in 2023, but the reality is that even if he's able to return next month, he'll only have a couple starts to close out the regular season.

Fri Aug 4 202317:42Joe Musgrove To Be Shut Down For Three Weeks
San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove (shoulder) underwent an MRI exam on his right shoulder that showed inflammation in his capsule, according to general manager A.J. Preller. Musgrove will now be shut down for three weeks after recently having his start pushed back to next week. He obviously won't make that start early next week against the Seattle Mariners now, and fantasy managers are going to have to keep him stashed until he returns. However, with the final month of the regular season in September, Musgrove may only have a handful of starts to help his fantasy managers. It's a tough blow for the Friars rotation, as Musgrove has been an anchor all year by going 10-3 with a 3.05 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 97 strikeouts over 97 1/3 innings (17 starts).

Wed Aug 2 202312:07Joe Musgrove Being Pushed Back Due To Shoulder Soreness
San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove (shoulder) has "minor" right-shoulder soreness and has been scratched from his scheduled start on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies. Reliever Nick Martinez will serve as the opener instead. Musgrove is being pushed back to the start of the series against the Seattle Mariners next week, which starts on Tuesday. Hopefully, the 30-year-old will be able to avoid a trip to the injured list and start next week. Musgrove has been great for the Friars and fantasy managers in 2023, going 10-3 with a 3.05 ERA (3.54 FIP), 1.14 WHIP, 21 walks and 97 strikeouts in 97 1/3 innings over his 17 starts. Martinez won't go more than an inning or two and should be avoided as a fantasy streamer at Coors Field on Wednesday.

Sun Jul 23 202314:47Joe Musgrove Takes The Loss On Sunday
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove took the loss on Sunday when he allowed three runs on seven hits with six strikeouts and one walk over six innings in a 3-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Musgrove wasn't at his best in this one, firing off 92 pitches (60 strikes) over his six innings while allowing 10 hard-hit balls. Both Spencer Torkelson and Andy Ibanez took him deep for solo shots and Kerry Carpenter notched an RBI single to saddle him with three earned runs. That would be enough to give him the loss as the Padres could only muster one run. Musgrove has been up and down this season but overall, he's been San Diego's most consistent pitcher. He'll carry a 9-3 record, 3.25 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 92:19 K/BB ratio over 91 1/3 innings (16 starts) into his next turn, a home start against the Texas Rangers.

Thu Jul 13 202308:38Joe Musgrove To Start Tuesday
San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove will take the mound on Tuesday to make his first start since the All-Star break. Musgrove posted a solid first half, racking up an 8-2 record, 3.29 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 79 strikeouts over 79 1/3 innings of work. The 30-year-old is slated to face off against the Toronto Blue Jays on the road in what sets up as a difficult matchup. Preceding Musgrove's start coming out of the All-Star break, the Padres will tab Yu Darvish, Blake Snell, Ryan Weathers, and Seth Lugo to take the ball over the next few days.

Sat Jun 24 202310:05Joe Musgrove Dealing, Coasts To Sixth Win
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove hurled seven innings of one-run ball in Friday's 13-3 blowout win versus the Washington Nationals. The 30-year-old allowed six hits and struck out seven batters for his sixth win of the year. Musgrove is quietly rolling over his last six starts. The right-hander displays a sharp 1.98 ERA with 30 punchouts in his last 36 1/3 innings while snagging a win in five of six appearances, ranking as a top-five fantasy SP over the hot streak. The former All-Star is rebounding nicely from a sluggish five-start beginning where Musgrove limped to a 6.75 ERA coming off a left big toe fracture which cost him the first three weeks of the campaign. On Thursday, Musgrove is scheduled to get his former Pittsburgh Pirates team, who he owns a 1.59 ERA against (17 IP) since 2021.

Wed Jun 14 202312:06Joe Musgrove Dealing With Elbow Bursitis
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (elbow) has turned in four straight quality starts, but he's been wearing a compression sleeve on his right arm for much of the season and is dealing with bursitis in his right elbow. It might stem from aggressive treatment he underwent this spring to accelerate healing in his fractured left big toe. "Everything is healthy in there," Musgrove said. "I think I had a leak in the bursa sac or a rupture in there, which is not damaging as far as the injury itself. But it causes swelling and causes loss of range of motion. So just been trying to work on that and keep that under control." Despite the injury, he gave up three runs in six innings to beat the Guardians on Tuesday and has allowed six runs (five earned) over 23 1/3 innings in his last four starts.

Sat May 27 202310:07Joe Musgrove Reaches Sixth Inning For First Time In 2023
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove may have pitched his best game of the year in Friday's 5-1 triumph over the New York Yankees. He hurled 6.1 innings, struck out six batters, and allowed just one run en route to his second win of the campaign. The 30-year-old is in dire need of some consistency following a very slow start to the season after coming off the injured list in late April. Musgrove still has work to do to polish up his 5.64 ERA, but Friday's effort was rather encouraging. The right-hander lines up on Thursday to battle the Miami Marlins, a team he owns a commanding 2.64 ERA in 30.2 career innings opposing.

Thu May 4 202321:04Joe Musgrove's Start Pushed Back To Sunday
San Diego Padres righty Joe Musgrove (foot) will start Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, giving him a week off since his last start on April 29. The 30-year-old is dealing with a blister on his foot, so the club's allowing him more time to heal. The native of California has made just two starts this season, beginning the year on the injured list. Over 8.1 innings, Musgrove has pitched to a 10.80 ERA with nine strikeouts and one walk. It's way too early for fantasy managers to start panicking, and he should remain a must-start after posting a 2.93 ERA in 2022.

Tue Apr 18 202323:28Joe Musgrove To Make Season Debut Saturday
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (shoulder, toe) is healthy and fully built up and will come off the injured list to make his 2023 season debut on Saturday on the road against the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to manager Bob Melvin. Musgrove's return will push Yu Darvish back to Sunday in the series finale. Musgrove initially fractured his left big toe in a weight-room accident in spring training and recently dealt with a minor right shoulder injury. The 30-year-old didn't look very great in two minor-league rehab starts, but the Padres and fantasy managers are just happy to have him back in action. When healthy, Musgrove proved last year he could be a high-end fantasy starter, but perhaps fantasy managers should be a bit more careful early on when deploying him in starting lineups.

Mon Apr 17 202312:51Joe Musgrove Strikes Out Eight In Rehab Start
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (shoulder, toe) had mixed results in a minor-league rehab start on Sunday for Single-A Lake Elsinore. In five innings of work, he allowed four runs on six hits while walking none and striking out eight. Musgrove began the 2023 season on the injured list after fracturing his left big toe in a weight-room accident in late February, but this was his last rehab start. The 30-year-old is expected to make his season debut for the team this week against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He's coming off a career year for the Friars, but fantasy managers should be a bit more hesitant to use him right away in fantasy lineups against a young and dangerous D-backs lineup.
