Joey Lucchesi Faces Live Batters
6 years agoSan Diego Padres rookie starter Joey Lucchesi (hip) faced live batters for the first time Tuesday since landing on the disabled list on May 15. Before the injury, Lucchesi was the Padres best starter, logging a 3.23 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 9.1 K/9 in 47 1/3 innings. He will likely make a couple rehab starts and could be on schedule to return mid-June. Lucchesi is a worthwhile deeper league target for owners looking for pitching help.
