Joe Musgrove (31), a right-hander starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres, suffered an unexpected injury while pitching in practice. Fortunately, the hiatus is not too long.
On the 14th (Korean time), Musgrove told reporters, “I got better quickly,” before the home game against the Milwaukee Brewers at Petco Park in San Diego, California, USA.
Musgrove, who was rehabilitating at the club’s training ground in Peoria메이저놀이터, Arizona, USA, injured his shoulder during a minor league practice game on the 10th.
Manager Bob Melvin explained that he sprained his shoulder during a throwing motion during defense. After being treated with cortisone injections, he rested.
“It feels great,” Musgrove said. Unfortunately, he had a few days of setbacks in his rehab, but now he is very good. He started throwing again. He’s scheduled to pitch in the bullpen tomorrow, and he’ll have another rehab pitch,” he said.
Manager Melvin also said, “Tomorrow we will pitch in the bullpen. Then we will see the situation. We will find out when the next appearance will be,” he explained.
Musgrove fractured his big toe after being hit in the left foot by a kettlebell while training in the weight room during spring camp, disrupting his preparation for the season.
The San Diego native went 21-16 with a 3.06 earned run average in 62 games and 362 1/3 innings for his hometown team over the past two years. Ahead of this season, he agreed to a five-year, $100 million contract.
Meanwhile, Melvin also shared news of delays in rehabilitation for Drew Former Lantz, who is recovering from an elbow injury. According to him, former rehab pitcher Lantz had to postpone his scheduled rehab appearance because of a sprained neck.
As the lifting of the punishment is imminent, the news of Fernando Tatis Jr., who is rehabilitating at Triple A, was also reported. “I talked to him today and he said he felt very good. We will play 9 innings today, take a break tomorrow, and play 9 innings again the next day. He joins the team two days before the Arizona trip. And I plan to play from the first game away from Arizona,” he introduced the plan.
