Musgrove Nears Return to Padres | San Diego Padres News

Joe Musgrove is inching closer to returning to the Padres, throwing 60 efficient pitches in his latest rehab start while striking out three and allowing just one run. A minor back tweak delayed his last outing, but he’s shown strong velocity—including a 97 mph fastball—and is on track to rejoin the big league roster as early as September 1st, pending rest and possibly more innings if needed. The Padres may ease him back with a softer matchup against the Nationals later in the month after a long recovery from Tommy John surgery that sidelined him for nearly all of last season and most of this one.
