Scratched with sore shoulder Musgrove has been scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday against the Rockies due to "minor" right shoulder soreness, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact At least for the time being, the Padres don't view Musgrove's shoulder issue as anything too serious and believe he can avoid a trip to the injured list. Musgrove is tentatively in line to make his next turn through the rotation either next Tuesday or Wednesday in Seattle. Nick Martinez, who has been working out of the bullpen since late April, will make a spot start in Colorado in Musgrove's stead.

On the year, his ERA sits at 3.05 with a 97:21 K:BB. His next start is projected to be in Colorado.

The 30-year-old right-hander has been excellent since the start of June, pitching to a 2.00 ERA over his last 11 starts. Overall, Musgrove sports a 3.25 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP and 92:19 K:BB through 16 starts (91.1 innings) this season.

Impact Musgrove recorded double-digit strikeouts for the first time this season and now has a 2.06 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 47:8 K:BB across 49.1 frames in his past eight starts. He has a 6-0 record during that stretch with seven quality starts. The right-hander had a delayed start to the campaign due to shoulder and toe injuries and struggled in his first five outings, but he's looking more and more like the All-Star that posted a 3.06 ERA and 9.6 K/9 over the previous two seasons.

Allows two runs in no-decision Musgrove did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings against the Pirates. He struck out six.

Impact Musgrove made it through the first three innings unscathed before allowing the Pirates' first run of the day on a sacrifice fly with two outs in the fourth.

He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Nationals.
