Joe Musgrove Placed on Injured List Due to Elbow Inflammation

The San Diego Padres have sidelined starting pitcher Joe Musgrove, impacting the team's rotation amid a crucial part of their season.

Joe Musgrove, struggling with a 6.37 ERA and 10 home runs allowed in 41 innings, is on a 15-day IL for elbow inflammation.
Musgrove's absence follows a challenging season, contrasting sharply with his 2022 All-Star performance where he led the Padres to the NLCS.
Randy Vasquez will potentially replace Musgrove in the upcoming game against the Chicago Cubs, as the Padres adjust their lineup.
The Padres' rotation recently enjoyed a club-record streak of games without a walk, showcasing a strong performance despite Musgrove's struggles.
Musgrove's injury adds to the Padres' challenges, following Yu Darvish's recent return from the IL for neck stiffness.
