The San Diego Padres won their NLWC Series, 2-0, over the Atlanta Braves, thrusting San Diego into the NLDS, where they will face the Los Angeles Dodgers, with Game 1 on Saturday.
However, they lost one of their best players in the process, not only for the NLDS, but much longer. Starting pitcher Joe Musgrove suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his throwing elbow in the Padres’ Game 2 win over Atlanta on Wednesday, and he will miss the remainder of the postseason and likely all of the 2025 MLB season.
