Castellanos Homers as Padres Test His Versatility in Spring Win

Joe Musgrove is slated for his first live outing since Tommy John surgery.

Overview

  • Nick Castellanos hit a two-run homer in the third inning of a 4-3 win over the White Sox at Camelback Ranch and finished 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and two RBIs.
  • Miguel Andújar, another offseason addition, went 2-for-2 with two singles, a walk and a run scored in the victory.
  • Castellanos is getting spring reps at first base along with outfield and DH work, including handling multiple defensive plays at first in earlier action.
  • Right-hander Michael King was tagged for four earned runs in 2 1/3 innings in a recent start against the A’s, with the Opening Day assignment likely to go to either King or Nick Pivetta.
  • San Diego plans to start Musgrove on Wednesday in a World Baseball Classic exhibition against Great Britain, his first game action since October 2024 following Tommy John surgery.
