Padres Catcher Injured as Musgrove Shifted to 60-Day IL
8 May
Summary
- Musgrove moved to 60-day injured list, delaying return until at least May 24.
- Catcher Luis Campusano suffered a fractured left toe, impacting the roster.
- Musgrove's elbow recovery from Tommy John surgery has faced setbacks.
San Diego Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Thursday, a move that means he cannot be activated before May 24. This procedural step acknowledges the ongoing recovery from his October 2024 Tommy John surgery. Musgrove experienced a setback after an exhibition start in spring training, and his elbow is reportedly "not cooperating."
Catcher Luis Campusano's fractured left toe, sustained Tuesday, prompted the need for roster adjustments. Rodolfo Duran, signed to a minor league contract last year, will now pair with Freddy Fermin behind the plate. Campusano was batting .288 with a .958 OPS through 18 games.
Musgrove, 33, who signed a five-year, $100 million extension in August 2022, is earning $20 million this year and next. His return timeline remains uncertain as he focuses on conditioning and treatment. He has played catch but has yet to throw off a mound.
Infielder Will Wagner was activated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A. Wagner had been sidelined by an oblique injury. He performed well on his rehab assignment.
