Joe Musgrove Dealing With Bone Spur And Bone Bruise
6 months agoAn MRI exam on San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove's right elbow showed a bone spur and a bone bruise. He received a platelet-rich plasma injection and a cortisone injection that he hopes will help him resume throwing in around two weeks. Arthroscopic surgery is possible if not enough healing takes play, "but we're not there yet," Musgrove said. He also said he's "done enough studying to know that the removal of spurs isn't necessarily always the best healer. That could lead to other issues or UCL issues." It's more bad news for the 31-year-old veteran, who has already been on the injured list twice in 2024 while posting a bloated 5.66 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 44 strikeouts in 49 1/3 innings over his 10 starts. Musgrove ended last year on the shelf and has seemingly not recovered since. He's unlikely to be back until sometime in the second half of the season for the Friars.
