A huge bad news has occurred for the San Diego Padres, who shouted "Tado Dodgers." Ace Joe Musgrove will eventually be put on the operating table due to an elbow injury.
The San Diego club announced on the 5th (Korea Standard Time) that Musgrove will undergo Tommy John surgery on his elbow.
Musgrove started Game 2 of the wild-card series against the Atlanta Braves on the 3rd. He was throwing well, but he was substituted after two outs in the fourth inning. It was announced at the time that he would undergo a thorough examination and did not reveal the extent of his injury.
Ultimately, a thorough examination revealed a torn ligament and prevented him from playing the division series right in front of him. Given that it takes about a year to a year and a half to rehabilitate, the 2025 season is also effectively out of the season. "I was disappointed that I didn't finish what I started," Musgrove said, expressing frustration, "I was a little torn UCL (inner thigh). I noticed there was some damage in the middle of the summer and was told it was only a matter of time. It was within my control. Physically, I felt like I could throw it still. I didn't feel it was a severe injury. However, the pain was getting worse over the past few weeks."
"This is a clear blow to our team. Musgrove was completely committed to the Padres organization. His presence and significance were significant," said AJ Prelor, president of baseball's team. "His work with our medical staff over the past few months shows the hard work he has made to lead the team to the postseason."
In fact, Musgrove was on the injured list twice this season due to elbow problems in early May and early June. When he was on the injured list for the second time, he was out for about two months. However, after returning to the team in August, he had a 3-1 record with a 2.15 ERA (12 earned runs in 50 ⅓ innings), 57 strikeouts and eight walks in the nine games he played, raising expectations for the postseason. 토토사이트
San Diego is in a state of emergency. It ended the wild card series with two consecutive wins and its fighting power was on the rise to defeat its archrival, the Dodgers. However, Musgrove's injury has left a huge gap in the starting lineup. For starters, in Games 1 and 2, he will start as Dylan Shees and Yu Darvish. As scheduled, Musgrove was scheduled to start in Game 4 of the Division Series. As the starting position was eliminated, however, San Diego will have an impact on the battlefield of the "Tado Dodgers."
"I've played good baseball for the Padres over the last few years. We've had some of our best performances over the last few months. We should be very proud that he came back and led us to the postseason. We wouldn't be here without Musgrove," Freeler said again.
