Joe Musgrove to Start Exhibition Game Wednesday After Tommy John Surgery

Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove (elbow) is slated to start Wednesday's exhibition game against Team Great Britain. This marks his first game appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery in October 2024, which sidelined him for the entire 2025 season. The veteran right-hander has progressed well, throwing off the mound and recently completing three innings in a simulated game. Musgrove is not expected to face strict workload limitations in the 2026 season, signaling a full return to action.
