Joe Musgrove News
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove struggled in his first start of the season in Thursday's victory against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers. Musgrove only lasted 2 2/3 innings and allowed seven hits, five runs, two walks and two strikeouts. The 31-year-old only threw six innings this spring in the Cactus League and was hit hard over that time. Despite that limited action this spring, Musgrove remains a steady option for managers after coming off a 2023 campaign that saw him throw to the tune of a 3.05 ERA with 97 strikeouts in 97 1/3 innings. With an ADP of 96, Musgrove makes for a solid option at the top of managers rotations in 2024.
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove surrendered four earned runs during Thursday's Spring Training opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He struggled mightily in the role, surrendering a walk, single, and hit batter in the top of the first inning before allowing Teoscar Hernandez to drive in two runs with his double. After just four batters, Musgrave was pulled from the game, giving him a total of four earned runs, two hits, and zero outs in the contest. On a positive note, he has plenty of time to shake things off and get back on track before his next start.
San Diego Padres starting pitchers Yu Darvish (elbow) and Joe Musgrove (shoulder) have no lingering health concerns, according to manager Mike Shildt. The new Padres skipper shared the news with reporters on Sunday as pitchers and catchers are reporting for spring training. This is good news, as both Darvish and Musgrove dealt with season-ending injuries last season. Darvish was placed on the 15-day injured list in August with elbow inflammation caused by a bone spur. The injury ended up cutting his season short, and he finished the campaign with a disappointing 8-10 record, 4.56 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 141:43 K/BB over 136 1/3 innings (24 starts). Musgrove, who started the season late due to a toe injury, was shut down in early August due to shoulder-capsule inflammation in his right arm. Musgrove was effective when healthy, however, finishing with a 10-3 record, 3.05 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 97:21 K/BB over 97 1/3 innings (17 starts). Both pitchers will be key to the Padres' success in 2024, as they'll likely lose free agent and reigning NL Cy Young award winner Blake Snell, and Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha already signed with the Royals during the offseason.

After making the All-Star team for the first time in his career in 2022, San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove only made 17 starts in 2023 and was shut down in late July due to a shoulder injury. The 31-year-old also dealt with a toe injury. The good news is that despite his injury-plagued season, Musgrove was basically the same pitcher he was in his first two years in San Diego. He went 10-3 with a 3.05 ERA (3.52 FIP), 1.14 WHIP, 21 walks and 97 strikeouts in 97 1/3 innings pitched. He was working his way back late in the year, but when the Padres were eliminated from playoff contention, the Padres decided to shut him down entirely and let him get an early start on rehabbing in the offseason. Musgrove is one of just five starting pitchers in the big leagues that has had an ERA below 3.20 in each of the last three seasons, and he's also had double-digit wins in each of the last three seasons despite making only 17 starts last year. Musgrave has most likely reached his peak in terms of statistical performance, but when he's healthy, he's a low-risk starter for fantasy managers in a friendly pitcher's park at Petco. Heading into the 2024 season, though, he'll carry more risk because of his shoulder injury and should be considered a solid No. 3 fantasy starter. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 32 starting pitcher, while ATS projects Musgrove to break his streak of ERAs lower than 3.20 with a 3.62 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 163 strikeouts in 162 innings pitched.
