ANALYSISMusgrove was originally slated to start Saturday against the Royals, but he'll instead hit the IL for the second time this season after experiencing further issues with his right elbow and triceps. The 31-year-old's first stint on the IL lasted 16 days, but the Padres will likely slow down his recovery this time around to ensure his elbow is back to 100 percent once he's activated.
Randy Vasquez was recalled from Triple-A El Paso to start in Musgrove's place Saturday and will likely remain in the Padres rotation until Musgrove is healthy again.
