2025 Fantasy Outlook

Musgrove had about as much of a roller-coaster season as a reliably consistent veteran pitcher can have last year. He posted an ugly 6.37 ERA through eight starts, then suffered an elbow injury that cost him nearly three weeks. The right-hander looked pretty good after returning in late May, but he lasted only two more outings before landing on the IL again due to the troublesome elbow. When Musgrove returned to the big-league rotation in mid-August, it appeared his early-season struggles were behind him, as he recorded a sterling 2.15 ERA with a 57:8 K:BB over 50.1 frames over the remainder of the regular season. Alas, the good times didn't last -- Musgrove was removed from Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against Atlanta with another elbow issue, and it was ultimately determined that he would need Tommy John surgery. The procedure was done in mid-October, so there's a small chance Musgrove could return to the mound late in the 2025 campaign, but it's more likely that he won't have an appearance in the majors again until 2026.
