The San Diego Padres are likely going to endure a ton of change in their starting rotation, with the expectation that Michael King and Dylan Cease will be in new threads in 2026. The team is set to welcome back Joe Musgrove after he missed the entirety of 2025 recovering from his torn UCL.
Musgrove, 33, signed a five-year, $100 million extension at the beginning of the 2022 season and has been solid during his time with the Padres. In 98 games, he posted a 3.20 ERA over the course of 559.1 innings pitched.
While rehabbing to get back to his old form, it was reported that Musgrove experienced a setback in his training.
