Musgrove underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Following an early exit from his appearance in Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series on Oct. 2 due to an elbow injury, an MRI revealed that Musgrove would need to undergo Tommy John surgery before returning to the mound. The timing of his procedure gives him an outside chance to pitch toward the very end of next season, but the 31-year-old righty will most likely be sidelined until 2026.

Rotowire
Kim underwent labrum repair surgery on his right shoulder Thursday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
A return for the start of the 2025 campaign remains on the table, though no recovery timeline has been disclosed yet.

Fountain underwent Tommy John surgery following the 2024 season, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Fountain was a fourth-round pick for the Padres in 2024, but he did not appear in any affiliated action after being selected. The procedure carries a lengthy recovery time for pitchers, but as a position player he should be ready for spring training.
Solano isn't in the Padres' lineup Wednesday for Game 4 of the NLDS against the Dodgers.
Wednesday marks the third straight game San Diego has decided to keep Solano on the bench after a 1-for-13 start to the postseason. Luis Arraez will get the starting nod at first base instead while David Peralta serves as the DH.
Cease will start Wednesday in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Dodgers, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Cease had a hard time keeping the Dodgers' bats quiet during a loss in Game 1 on Saturday, giving up five earned runs on six hits and two walks over just 3.1 innings. The 28-year-old righty had better luck against Los Angeles during the regular season, turning in a 3.37 ERA across 10.2 frames, so a bounce-back performance Wednesday isn't out of the question.
