Pivetta Exits Rehab Start Early With Apparent Injury
The Padres pitcher left the mound mid-inning during a minor league rehab outing, raising fresh concerns about his health status.
Nick Pivetta was making a rehab appearance for Lake Elsinore when he abruptly walked off the mound after delivering a pitch, before the inning was complete. The exit was unplanned and suggests a potential injury setback. Pivetta was already on a rehab assignment, meaning he was working back from a prior issue. Padres beat reporter AJ Cassavell flagged the incident in real time, though no official diagnosis has been provided.
