Following Joe Musgrove's Tommy John surgery, the San Diego Padres encounter substantial uncertainty in their starting rotation for 2025. This injury complicates their plans, especially with Yu Darvish dealing with elbow inflammation. Matt Waldron was a frontrunner for a rotation spot but is on the injured list due to an oblique injury. As a result, the Padres consider candidates like left-hander Hart and righties Randy Vasquez and Stephen Kolek for the fifth starter position. Hart, who had impressive statistics in the KBO, may offer a glimmer of hope but has limited MLB experience.
Joe Musgrove's Tommy John surgery created significant concerns for the Padres, impacting their starting rotation heading into the 2025 season.
With Musgrove out, the Padres face uncertainty in their rotation, particularly with Darvish's elbow inflammation and Waldron's oblique injury removing key options.
