Joe Musgrove expected to throw in bullpen again this weekend with eye on possibly facing hitters within a couple weeks
Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove watches a game from the dugout during the last homestand. CLEVELAND — There are still multiple steps to be taken, but the outline of a timetable for starting pitcher Joe Musgrove’s return is becoming slightly more discernible.
“It’s been kind of one step at a time,” Musgrove said Friday. “Until I get a couple more pens, I don’t think they’re gonna plan anything or put anything on the books. But I would assume that with the amount of days we have on the road, I could get probably three bullpens in. And that’s what we initially talked about was having a handful of bullpens before we get into any kind of hitter-type situations. So I think that’s possible.
The Padres are hoping Musgrove, who has been among their top starters the past three seasons, can return sometime in the latter half of August. The MRI showed inflammation and fluid in the area was essentially gone but that the stress reaction was still present, as expected. Another MRI will likely be done in two weeks.
