The San Diego Padres have made a decision about starting pitcher Joe Musgrove, who was injured in their Wild Card win against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.
The San Diego Padres' season loosely followed the same trajectory as veteran starting pitcher Joe Musgrove.Beginning with his outstanding return from an elbow injury in the Padres' win against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Aug. 12, the Padres had the third-best record in the National League until the end of the regular season. That allowed them to clinch the league's top Wild Card berth with relative ease.Musgrove went 3-1 with a 2.
Manager Mike Shildt made the announcement in a press conference Friday at Dodger Stadium.'He'll be with us in our hearts, but he won't be on the mound,' Shildt said.According to FanGraphs, the Dodgers had slightly better odds in the series. But those odds assumed Musgrove would start Game 4, giving the Padres a 51.9 percent chance to win that game. The Dodgers were already projected to win Games 1, 2 and 5 at home, and losing Musgrove should only further their chances.
