San Diego Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove is expected to start the 2026 season on the injured list after missing the previous season due to Tommy John surgery. Manager Craig Stammen indicated that Musgrove’s recovery plan involves being cautious, preferring to have him available later in the season rather than rushing his return. Musgrove has only pitched briefly in an exhibition game this spring, struggling to recover afterward. He previously recorded a 3.20 ERA and a no-hitter in 2021.
