Up to 70 pitches in rehab start
Musgrove threw 70 pitches in Friday's rehab start for Triple-A El Paso and was throwing in the mid-90's, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Analyse
Musgrove was at 53 pitches in his previous rehab start, so he's making the progressions nicely. The Padres haven't yet decided whether he'll make another rehab start or join the big club next, but they're in a tight NL Wild Card race and just dropped a game Saturday where the combination of two openers with Randy Vasquez didn't work against the Guardians.

Throws 53 pitches in rehab start
Musgrove (elbow) completed 3.1 innings in a minor-league rehab appearance with Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, allowing one run on six hits and no walks while striking out two batters.
Analyse
It was Musgrove's second rehab outing as he sets his sights on pitching for the big-league club for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery in September of 2024. The veteran right-hander tossed 39 pitches in his first rehab start Aug. 4, so he's gradually building up his pitch count in preparation for a return to a spot in San Diego's rotation. Musgrove is likely to need at least one more rehab outing before being activated, but he could be back with the Padres by the end of August, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com.
