Joe Musgrove returns to the Padres

The San Diego Padres unveiled their postseason roster ahead of their opening Wild Card matchup against the Chicago Cubs, revealing a surprising 15-player position group and 11-pitcher staff. Among the notable additions were Miguel Andujar and Joe Musgrove, both of whom spent time on the injured list concluding the regular season.

Musgrove shifted his recovery strategy from a starting role to relief appearances after struggling to bounce back as a starter. According to baseball operations president and general manager A.J.

Preller, this adjustment allowed Musgrove's arm to recover normally and pitch on a regular schedule, paving the way for his playoff return despite earlier frustration. During the pregame introductions, supporters welcomed the pitcher back with an enthusiastic ovation before Michael King delivered seven shutout frames.
