Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove made a minor league rehab start on Sunday night as he works his way back from an elbow injury.
At the MLB Trade Deadline the Padres only added one starting pitcher, lefty Martin Perez from the Pirates . They could probably use another starter for the stretch run.All-Star righty Joe Musgrove made a minor league rehabilitation start on Sunday night, pitching for the Single-A Lake Elsinore Storm against the Fresno Grizzlies. Musgrove is on the 60-day Injured List as he deals with a bone spur in his pitching elbow.
The only fade was on his cutter. Musgrove threw 43 pitches in 3.1 innings, striking out a pair. What's truly encouraging is 35 of the 43 pitches went for strikes. It's easy to see why hitters are hitting a robust .349 against the pitch this year as opposed to .205 last year. That's the impact of the bone spur. It was hindering Musgrove's ability to fully extend and finish his pitches, causing him to lose consistency with his location."Physically I feel good, I feel healthy and I feel like I'm past the elbow issue. Now it's a matter of getting my stuff to a point that's capable of getting big hitters out," says Musgrove.
