MLB.COM, the official website of MLB, reported on the 5th (Korea time) that Musgrove's elbow injury is serious, adding, "There is a possibility that he may miss the 2025 season due to a torn ulnar collateral ligament."

Musgrove will undergo Tommy John surgery, which typically takes 12 to 18 months to recover from.

"I'm very disappointed that I didn't finish what I started," Musgrove said.

Musgrove started Game 2 of the wild-card series against the Atlanta Braves on the 3rd, but he went off the mound complaining of elbow discomfort after playing only three ⅔. Later, the examination revealed that he had to undergo surgery.

The departure of the ace is a big blow to San Diego, which faces the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS.

San Diego is in a position to find a substitute for the offseason as it is likely not to be able to use Musgrove not only this year but also next season.

Meanwhile, Musgrove went 6-5 with a 3.88 ERA in 19 appearances this season.
