Musgrove has struggled this season, with a 3-3 record and 6.37 ERA in eight starts. The 31-year-old right-hander has allowed a major league-leading 10 home runs in 41 innings.
PHOENIX — The San Diego Padres placed starting pitcher Joe Musgrove on the injured list with right elbow inflammation, the team said Sunday.
“We think the timeline is very similar to the Darvish situation,” Padres manager Mike Shildt said after Sunday's 11-4 loss at Arizona. “There's some inflammation in there so this is a chance for him to get a re-set. We don't feel like it's overly serious." Darvish missed two starts with neck tightness but returned to the rotation with a victory on Tuesday against Cincinnati.
Musgrove had been scheduled to start Tuesday in Chicago. The Padres recalled Randy Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso and he is a possible starter for the game against the Cubs. Musgrove was 10-3 with a 3.05 ERA last season but was limited to 17 starts because of shoulder problems. He was an All-Star in 2022 when the Padres went to the NLCS, going 10-7 with a 2.93 ERA in 30 starts.
