7 years agoPittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Joe Musgrove's (shoulder) right shoulder pain is "minor" and "precautionary," director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said. Musgrove could resume throwing in the "coming days." The former Houston Astro should be fine for Opening Day, but he's currently slightly behind the other pitchers in camp. Musgrove was much better as a reliever for Houston in 2017, as he had a 6.12 ERA and 1.51 WHIP as a starter and 1.44 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in the bullpen. That is bad news, because the Pirates are expected to use him in the rotation, where more growing pains should be expected.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
