San Diego Padres manager Bob Melvin announced earlier this morning that starters Sean Manaea and Joe Musgrove will pitch the second and third games of the season, respectively, in Arizona behind Yu Darvish. These moves were expected because Manaea pitched yesterday and if he were to continue on the every fifth day schedule, his next start day is this Friday. Musgrove also is a nice story to pitch the home opener on April 14 since he obviously is a San Diego native and Musgrove starting the third game of the season would line him up to do just that.
