Undergoes TJ surgery

Musgrove underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Analysis

Following an early exit from his appearance in Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series on Oct. 2 due to an elbow injury, an MRI revealed that Musgrove would need to undergo Tommy John surgery before returning to the mound. The timing of his procedure gives him an outside chance to pitch toward the very end of next season, but the 31-year-old righty will most likely be sidelined until 2026.
