Joe Musgrove, the starting pitcher of the San Diego Padres in the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB), is out of power ahead of the opening of the National League Division Series (NLDS).안전놀이터

The San Diego club announced on the 5th (Korea Standard Time), a day before the first game of the NLDS, that Musgrove will undergo ligament joint surgery in his right elbow and will be excluded from the postseason roster.

Musgrove is expected to be rehabbed for 12 to 18 months after surgery, so he is unlikely to be able to play in 2025.

San Diego, which is scheduled to raise Dylan Sheese and Darvish Yu in turn as starting pitchers in Game 1 and 2 of the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers, will fill Musgrove's gap with left-handed pitcher Martin Perez.

Game 3 starter is Michael King, and Perez will not take the mound until Game 4.

Musgrove, who took the mound as San Diego's starting pitcher for Game 2 in the Seoul Series against the Dodgers at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul in March this year, has been on the injured list twice this season in the aftermath of elbow pain.

Musgrove, who returned in August and helped San Diego advance to the postseason, took the mound in Game 2 of the wild-card series against the Atlanta Braves on the 3rd and left the mound in less than four innings.

At this time, the elbow ligament was already damaged, and catcher Kyle Higashioka signaled to the dugout, leading to a pitcher change.
