Nick Martinez and Ryan Weathers head to the bullpen as Joe Musgrove returns

The San Diego Padres got blown out last night but at least Joe Musgrove makes his 2023 debut tonight against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Him returning means that the rotation is going to look a little bit different. It started as a six-man rotation but now will be going to the traditional five-man rotation, according to Kevin Acee. Joe Musgrove, Yu Darvish and Blake Snell are used to pitching every fifth day and the Padres obviously want to pitch their best starters more frequently.

With Musgrove coming back, now the Padres technically have seven starters on their roster so two need to head to the bullpen.
