Overview
- Musgrove worked two-plus innings in a spring exhibition vs. Great Britain, allowing one run on five singles with three strikeouts and one walk in a 2-2 tie at Peoria Sports Complex.
- He threw 60 pitches with 36 strikes, sat around 93–94 mph and topped 95, and generated swings and misses with his breaking stuff.
- Musgrove said he felt healthy and liked the shapes of his pitches, noting his command remains a bit off after 17 months away.
- Manager Craig Stammen said Musgrove’s stuff has not dipped and praised his progress following simulated work leading into the outing.
- The Padres plan a cautious build as they look to Musgrove to stabilize a thin rotation that currently leans on Nick Pivetta and Michael King with Yu Darvish out and Dylan Cease departed in free agency.
