Padres' Giolito may lose spot as rotation starters return from injury
Summary

As the San Diego Padres prepare for the return of pitchers Joe Musgrove and Nick Pivetta, Lucas Giolito's status in the rotation is uncertain. After joining the Padres in mid-April, Giolito has struggled in three starts, leading to questions about his role once the injured players are back. The Padres are also looking to shake up their offense, calling up Jase Bowen from Triple-A. Despite the team's challenges, other players like Gavin Sheets are contributing positively at the plate.
