Eligibility
Joe Musgrove will start the Padres Cactus League opener on Thursday against the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
Musgrove is fully healthy after dealing with multiple injuries last season. He'll take the mound against Gavin Stone and the Dodgers in the Spring Training opener on Thursday.
Padres' manager Mike Shildt said that Joe Musgrove is not expected to have any limitations heading into the season.
Fantasy Impact
Musgrove dealt with numerous injuries last season that limited him to just 17 starts. He was still able to post a 3.05 ERA across 97 1/3 innings, and he'll look for a healthy season this year.
Joe Musgrove (shoulder) is scheduled to play catch on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
This will mark the first time Musgrove has thrown since being placed on the IL due to right shoulder capsule inflammation. It's still unclear if he will return to the mound this season, and it's possible that the Padres will remain cautious if they are out of the playoff hunt.
Joe Musgrove underwent an MRI on his right shoulder that revealed inflammation in his capsule and he will be shut down for three weeks.
Fantasy Impact
Musgrove was most recently scratched from his last start. He had been leading the Padres starting rotation, so they will really miss him. Barring any setbacks, Musgrove could return in late August.
The Padres have scratched Joe Musgrove from his Wednesday start.
Fantasy Impact
The Padres have stated that Musgrove is dealing with minor right shoulder soreness and will start in the Seattle series next week. If the 30-year-old were to miss any time, it would be a big blow to the Padres. Musgrove has a 3.05 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP in 17 games this season. The Padres will turn to Nick Martinez to make the start Wednesday.
