As per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune, San Diego Padres left-hander, Joey Lucchesi, is more than likely to miss his another start due to the hip strain that landed him on the disabled list on May 21.
Lucchesi threw from up to 120 feet yesterday, surely much to the delight of a cautious but optimistic Friars organization. According to Acee, “the next step is likely a bullpen session and then another. If those go well, Lucchesi could be back in the starting rotation without a rehab assignment…”
As encouraging as that scenario sounds, and stress-free I might add, it could be prudent on the part of Padres to not ease Joey Fuego back into the fray.
