Joe Musgrove Throws Bullpen Session
Joe Musgrove (elbow) threw an up-and-down bullpen session at Citi Field on Tuesday before the team's game against the New York Mets. Musgrove threw around 15 pitches in what amounted to a two-innings simulated game. The 32-year-old still has a ways to go, but he's hoping to be cleared to potentially work out of the team's bullpen in October if they make a deep run in the playoffs. He underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on Oct. 11 of 2024 and has not pitched at all during the 2025 campaign, and even though he's ramping up his throwing program off a mound, he remains more of a long shot to return before spring training of 2026. Getting Musgrove back in the rotation next year would be a huge boost to the Padres' pitching staff, but it remains to be seen if he can return to his pre-injury form.
