Joe Musgrove’s return hits another snag as Padres pump brakes on rehab

Musgrove has yet to pitch for San Diego in 2026 while recovering from elbow surgery, and his comeback just hit another roadblock. After working up to five-plus innings in Triple-A El Paso, the Padres officially paused his rehab assignment on September 2 due to renewed concern. His absence looms as San Diego sits at 73-67, fighting for a postseason berth just a half-game out of the final NL Wild Card spot.

When healthy, Musgrove has consistently delivered as a mid-rotation stabilizer, backed by a career 2.98 ERA in 2022 and our projections hovering around a 3.72 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. However, with September already underway and this latest setback halting his progression, time has nearly run out to offer fantasy utility. Expecting any reliable contribution down the stretch is no longer a viable bet.

San Diego finishes their week hosting a tough three-game series against the Yankees, with Walker Buehler, Robbie Ray, and Michael King handling starting duties. Musgrove remains firmly parked on the 60-day injured list with no clear return date. Keep him out of lineups across all formats. Sit.
