Another short start Sunday Musgrove allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Sunday.

Impact Musgrove continues to be brought along slowly in his recovery from bone bruise and bone spur in his throwing elbow. He stretched out to 73 pitches (47 strikes) and limited the damage to an Aaron Schunk RBI double in the third inning. Musgrove has allowed one run on five hits and three walks over 8.2 innings since his return. The veteran right-hander has a 4.97 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 51:18 K:BB through 58 innings over 12 starts this year. Musgrove will likely still have a slight workload restriction for his next start, which is tentatively projected to be at home versus the Mets.

Fires 4.1 scoreless frames Monday Musgrove gave up two hits and issued one walk while striking out one batter over 4.1 scoreless innings in a no-decision against Pittsburgh on Monday.

Impact Musgrove's first big-league start since May 26 went well, as the veteran hurler allowed just four baserunners (on two hits, a walk and a hit-by-pitch) while throwing 43 of 63 pitches for strikes. The right-hander made only one rehab appearance (Aug. 4 with Single-A Lake Elsinore) during which he tossed just 43 pitches, which explains why he was held to a limited workload Monday. Musgrove may be kept under some level of a pitch count for another start or two, but he figures to have more of a leash his time on the mound, which is tentatively slated to take place in Colorado.

Activated ahead of Monday's start The Padres activated Musgrove (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Impact Musgrove will rejoin San Diego's rotation Monday versus the Pirates after missing 11 weeks of action with a bone spur and bone bruise in his right elbow. The veteran right-hander threw only 43 pitches in his lone rehab start, so his workload will be curtailed against Pittsburgh.

Now likely to return Monday Musgrove (elbow) will not rejoin the Padres' rotation this weekend in Miami as previously anticipated, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Manager Mike Shildt had indicated previously that Musgrove would make a start against the Marlins, but he is not listed among the team's probables this weekend. Instead, he's likely to return Monday at home versus the Pirates, per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune, although that has not yet been confirmed by the team. Musgrove went 3.1 innings and threw 43 pitches in a rehab start with Single-A Lake Elsinore on Sunday. He's been out since late May with a bone spur and bone bruise in his right elbow.

Next start likely in majors Musgrove (elbow) has joined the Padres in Pittsburgh and manager Mike Shildt said there's a "high probability" the pitcher rejoins the rotation this weekend in Miami, AJ Cassavell...

Impact Musgrove went 3.1 innings and threw 43 pitches in his first rehab start with Single-A Lake Elsinore on Sunday and said Tuesday that he feels "physically ready" to rejoin the Padres' rotation. He'll likely be limited to just 4-to-5 frames against the Marlins in what will be his first start at the big-league level since late May. Musgrove has been sidelined with a bone spur and bone bruise in his right elbow.

AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches fourth inning in rehab start Musgrove (elbow) struck out two batters over 3.1 innings while allowing two earned runs on four hits and zero walks in his rehab start Sunday with Single-A Lake Elsinore.

Impact The Padres initially planned to have Musgrove make his first rehab start with Double-A San Antonio, but after his flight to Texas on Saturday was cancelled, the organization ultimately had him stick around in California to begin his minor-league assignment. Though he was facing off against lower-caliber competition, Musgrove's results in his first start at any level since late May were generally encouraging. He spotted 35 of his 43 pitches for strikes in the outing, and his fastball sat around the 94-to-96 mile-per-hour range. Musgrove is expected to require one more start in the minors before he makes his return from the 60-day injured list.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Beginning rehab stint Padres manager Mike Shildt said Wednesday that Musgrove (elbow) will make a rehab appearance with a minor-league affiliate Sunday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander threw about 40 pitches in a two-inning simulated game Tuesday and has now been fully cleared for game action. Musgrove has been sidelined since late May due to a bone spur and bone bruise in his right elbow, and he'll likely need at least a couple starts in the minors before being ready to rejoin the Padres.

Tosses two-inning sim game Musgrove (elbow) completed a two-inning simulated game Tuesday at the Padres' spring training facility in Arizona, MLB.com reports.

Impact Facing a lineup of Mariners minor-league hitters, Musgrove tossed approximately 40 pitches in the outing. The Padres will wait and see how Musgrove's elbow responds to the sim game before determining his next step, but the right-hander may get the green light to begin a minor-league rehab assignment as soon as Sunday. Musgrove is on the injured list for the second time this season after being diagnosed with a bone spur and bone bruise in his right elbow in early June. He'll likely need at least two rehab starts to get fully stretched out, and he could be ready return from the 60-day injured list around mid-August in a best-case scenario.

Could begin rehab stint next week Musgrove (elbow) incorporated his full arsenal of breaking pitches in his most recent bullpen session and could begin a minor-league rehab assignment next week, per MLB.com.

Impact Musgrove's bullpen Wednesday was significant not only because he brought breaking pitches into the mix, but also because he stepped up the intensity of his throwing. The right-hander has reported having no issues with his injured right elbow during his three bullpens to date, and the next step in his rehab could be a rehab stint with a minor-league squad. Should Musgrove continue to progress without setbacks, he could return to the Padres' rotation in early August.

Tosses bullpen session Saturday Musgrove (elbow) threw 30 pitches in a bullpen session Saturday, the Associated Press reports.

Impact The bullpen was Musgrove's second since he went on the injured list June 1. The right-hander threw almost exclusively fastballs in his first session Wednesday, per MLB.com, and plans to increase his intensity as his throwing sessions progress. Padres manager Mike Shildt said Saturday that Musgrove is "clearly getting closer" to a return, though a target date for his activation hasn't yet been established.

Will throw bullpen July 17 Musgrove (elbow) is slated to throw a bullpen session July 17, per MLB.com.

Impact The bullpen will be Musgrove's first since he went on the injured list with a right elbow issue June 1. The right-hander was diagnosed with a bone spur and a bone bruise shortly thereafter and received both a PRP and a cortisone injection. Musgrove has been playing catch since late June and threw off a mound July 10, though not as part of a full-on bullpen session. He's expected to accompany the Padres on their three-city road trip following the All-Star break and continue to toss bullpens during that time with the aim of gradually increasing intensity. He'll likely need a series of minor-league rehab starts prior to being activated off the 60-day IL, and he probably won't be ready to return to the big-league club's rotation until at least early August.
