Padres Reacts Survey: What is your level of concern regarding the San Diego starting rotation?
News about Joe Musgrove complicates pitching picture for Padres.
Opening Day is around the corner, and the San Diego Padres are projected to be one of the National League's top contenders. However, their rotation faces plenty of questions. Joe Musgrove will reportedly open the season on the injured list after suffering a minor setback in his recovery from the Tommy John Surgery he underwent in 2024.
On Monday, it was announced that starting pitcher Joe Musgrove will likely begin the 2026 season on the injured list. Meanwhile, Walker Buehler turned in five innings of shutout baseball in his spring training start against the San Francisco Giants.
The MLB season is nearly here and the San Diego Padres are still figuring out their rotation for the first week of the season. After their playoff season in 2025, the Padres will no longer feature two of their four pitchers with most innings logged last season.
The San Diego Padres have trade rumors surrounding a key piece, Xander Bogaerts has some pressure applied and a favorite for the final bench spot appears to have emerged.
