Fantasy Impact:

Musgrove threw 112 pitches in his no-hitter on Friday, so the Padres would have been justified to give him an extra day to recover. Thankfully for fantasy managers, Musgrove will get the start against his former team, which currently boasts one of the weakest lineups in baseball. Not that you'd ever bench him at this point, but Musgrove is an obvious must-start option in his matchup on Wednesday, and fantasy managers should have no concern about the increased workload on Friday.
