Joe Musgrove is inching closer to returning to the mound after a grueling recovery, with his first rehab start going well and another imminent. If he continues to progress, he could pitch in the Padres’ homestand starting August 21 — no rush, just careful steps back. The team’s recent trade deadline pickups ease bullpen pressure, giving Musgrove mental relief as they avoid overworking relievers. After missing all of last season due to surgery and a spring setback, he’s laser-focused on postseason readiness. Meanwhile, fellow pitcher Nick Pivetta, also recovering, had to exit his rehab early but is getting extra rest — both are poised to bolster the rotation for the final push.
