Pivetta’s Rehab Hits Pause | MLB News

Padres pitcher Nick Pivetta’s rehab hit a snag after just 14 pitches in his first start, citing elbow tightness — but there’s reason to hope. He later threw 20-30 bullpen pitches without issue, giving the team cautious optimism. Manager Craig Stammen emphasized patience over pushing through, stressing the importance of safety. While this setback may delay Pivetta’s return from his April injury, he could still rejoin the rotation by late August or September if all goes well.
