Joe Musgrove will not be available to pitch in the NLDS against the Padres. That’s the extent of the update that Padres manager Mike Shildt provided in Friday’s meeting with reporters ahead of the team workout at Dodger Stadium, although he noted that more information would come later in the day.

The joy of victory was muted in San Diego with the news that star pitcher Joe Musgrove will need Tommy John surgery.

San Diego Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove's outing against the Atlanta Braves Wednesday in Game 2 of the National League wild-card series was a brief one. The 31-year-old went 3 2/3 innings, giving up a hit and an earned run with four strikeouts before elbow tightness forced his exit.
