Could earn Opening Day start Either Musgrove or Yu Darvish will start against the Braves on Opening Day, according to manager Bob Melvin, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Musgrove was statistically the Padres' best pitcher last season, posting career-best marks with 203 strikeouts, a 3.18 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP. Meanwhile, Darvish enjoyed a strong start to his Padres tenure but faded in the second half, at least partly due to back and hip issues. The hurlers are expected to top the team's rotation again this season, and both are strong fantasy targets as third-or-fourth-tier starters.

Impact Musgrove, who is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut Tuesday against the Guardians, will be receiving a $4.175 million salary increase from 2021. After being acquired from the Padres last winter, Musgrove was the team's top starter in what was a breakout season for the 29-year-old. He covered a career-high 181.1 innings over 32 appearances (31 starts), finishing with a 3.18 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 203:54 K:BB.

Stellar in final start Musgrove limited the Giants to one run on three hits with four strikeouts over five innings Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact After a wobbly September (5.14 ERA in five starts), Musgrove closed out his 2021 season with a terrific showing by limiting San Francisco to a Kris Bryant RBI single in the second inning. He also put up a zero in the walk column for the first time since May 30. Musgrove went 11-9 in his first season in San Diego and established personal bests in ERA (3.18), innings pitched (181.1), strikeouts (203), WHIP (1.08) and opponents' batting average (.213). He also threw a pair of shutouts, the first of his career.

No-decision Sunday Musgrove didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Atlanta after allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks across five innings, striking out nine.

Impact Musgrove hadn't fanned that many batters since he posted two back-to-back nine-strikeout performances in late August, but the fact that he's also issued at least three walks in four straight appearances might be a bit concerning. The veteran hurler has also given up at least three runs in each of his last four appearances and owns a 5.14 ERA across five appearances this month.

Surrenders five runs Musgrove got a no-decision in Tuesday's 6-5 defeat at the hand of the Giants, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks with six strikeouts in 5.2 innings

Impact Facing Kevin Gausman and the Giants in consecutive turns, Musgrove pitched well early and was staked to a 4-1 lead but struggled the third time through the order, surrendering four runs combined in the fifth and sixth innings. The subpar outing ends a five-game stretch permitting nor more than three runs in any start and Musgrove now sports a 5.09 ERA across four September turns. He currently lines up to face Atlanta on Sunday.
