Joe Musgrove - Sim game on tapMusgrove (toe) is throwing a simulated game Wednesday in Padres camp, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.
ImpactMusgrove will be facing non-swinging hitters, but it's another step in the right direction as he recovers from a fractured left big toe. The standing belief is that Musgrove could be ready to join the Padres' starting rotation April 6 at Atlanta. If he does meet that timeline, he'll prove to be a terrific value in fantasy drafts that have taken place over the last handful of weeks. Musgrove suffered the injury in a weight room incident Feb. 27.

Yu Darvish - May not start Opening DayDarvish is unlikely to start Opening Day for the Padres, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.
ImpactDarvish pitched just an inning for Team Japan on Tuesday during the World Baseball Classic, and he may need some time to get ramped up. Scanlan notes that Darvish will report to camp Thursday and that the right-hander ended the offseason throwing 80-pitch bullpens, so it shouldn't take much time to get him lengthened. Darvish may not get the Opening Day assignment, but he should still get a regular load for San Diego and has a chance to be an excellent fantasy option for the 2023 campaign.

Aaron Brooks - Reassigned to minor-league campBrooks was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Padres on Wednesday.
ImpactBrooks was signed to a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training in February, and he won't be a part of the Opening Day roster. Assuming he sticks with the San Diego organization, he should be an option for Triple-A El Paso to begin the 2023 campaign.

Austin Nola - Resumes baseball activitiesNola (nose) will go through baseball activities Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
ImpactNola suffered a broken nose as a result of a hit-by-pitch during Sunday's Cactus League game against the Cubs. However, while surely still in some pain, he has not been ruled out for Opening Day. Being able to get through Wednesday's workout with no issues figures to go a long way in determining his status.
