Nick Pivetta Placed on 15-Day IL with Right Elbow Inflammation

The San Diego Padres have placed right-hander Nick Pivetta on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 13, due to right elbow inflammation. This injury is a significant setback for the Padres' pitching staff, forcing immediate adjustments to the starting rotation. The team has responded to the roster vacancy by calling up Alek Jacob and Matt Waldron to provide depth for both the rotation and the bullpen. Pivetta's recovery timeline will be monitored closely.
