Musgrove’s Return on Hold | San Diego Padres News

Joe Musgrove’s return to the mound has hit another snag—this time a bone bruise in his throwing elbow, just as he was inching back from Tommy John surgery. Placed on the 60-day injured list, the Padres’ ace and veteran leader is sidelined again after showing promise in rehab, only to suffer arm fatigue and pain that halted his progress. His absence not only weakens the rotation but also robs the team of his clutch presence and leadership during their playoff push. With little time left in the season, a return this year seems unlikely, and his future with San Diego hangs in the balance. Still, Musgrove leaves behind iconic moments—the franchise’s first no-hitter and standout postseason outings—and deserves the final say on his next chapter.
