Joe Musgrove To Play Catch On Monday
5 months agoSan Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove (elbow) was scheduled to play catch on Monday for the first time since he was shut down with right-elbow inflammation and subsequently diagnosed with a bone spur. Musgrove has been throwing plyo balls for a few days without any issues in his elbow, so he'll take the next step to throwing a baseball. The 31-year-old would prefer to avoid going under the knife for the bone spur in his elbow, but if he continues to feel discomfort while throwing, it could be inevitable. And if Musgrove does have surgery, there's a chance we may not see him the rest of the season. If he avoids surgery altogether, we probably won't see Musgrove until late July, at the earliest. Musgrove ended last year on the injured list and wasn't sharp upon his return in 2024, as he's currently 3-4 with a 5.66 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 44 K's in his 10 starts.
