Joe Musgrove - Taking steps to shorten absence Musgrove has been lying in a hyperbaric chamber every day in an attempt to recover more quickly from his fractured left big toe, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Tribune reports.
Impact The idea behind the treatment is that the pressurized chamber may help Musgrove's body create stem cells to promote healing, and the hurler has also been sticking to a special diet aimed at aiding in his recovery. There's certainly no guarantee that the measures will speed up Musgrove's return to the mound, but the right-hander explained that he's willing to "try anything...even if it knocks a day or two off." While the pitcher's determination is certainly admirable, fantasy managers shouldn't count on it resulting in an adjustment to the initial projection of him missing about two starts. Musgrove acknowledged the need to be wise about rushing back too quickly, stating, "I know that I gotta build up and they're gonna do it the right way -- missing a start or two now to not have to deal with it for the rest of year."

Juan Soto - Expected to be fine for WBC Soto (calf) will join Team Dominican Republic on Friday and is expected to be fine to participate in the World Baseball Classic, Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes reports.
Impact Rojas was relaying a message from Nelson Cruz, who not only is Soto's teammate with the Padres but also serves as the general manager for Team Dominican Republic. Soto has been dealing with some nagging tightness in his left calf for the last week, but the level of concern for the injury at this point remains low. While he's been limited to just four Cactus League games so far this spring, Soto has gone 8-for-11 with one homer and seven RBI in those contests.
