Padres starter Joe Musgrove shut down for at least 3 weeks with shoulder inflammation
- Musgrove was scratched from his scheduled start and had an MRI revealing inflammation in his right shoulder capsule.
- The Padres have won 5 of their last 6 games but are 9 games back and 1 game under .500.
- Musgrove had been experiencing minor but worsening shoulder stiffness in recent starts.
- The Padres acquired several players at the trade deadline but have multiple injured pitchers.
- Musgrove's absence is a significant blow as the Padres face teams above .500.
