Padres starter Joe Musgrove faces another setback in arm recovery

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove has encountered a fresh injury setback during his ongoing rehabilitation. Manager Craig Stammen stated the right-hander is experiencing fatigue in his arm and elbow, extending the timeline for his return to the mound. Musgrove had previously navigated a separate back injury that caused a 12-day pause in his recovery process. The Padres are managing an aging and injury-plagued rotation that has struggled since Opening Day. With the regular season nearing its conclusion, the club now faces significant uncertainty regarding the availability of Musgrove and other core rotation members. The team must determine if further attempts to push Musgrove through the rehab process remain viable or if the right-hander will remain sidelined for the remainder of the year.
