Pivetta Rehab Paused After Mid-Inning Exit With Elbow Concern
The Padres SP's return timeline is now uncertain after he was pulled during a rehab start, prompting the team to halt his progression.
Nick Pivetta's rehab assignment has been put on hold following a concerning mid-inning exit during a Tuesday outing. Padres pitching coach Craig Stammen noted no new developments since Pivetta left the mound, but said the team must pause any time a rehabbing pitcher exits early with an elbow issue. There is still optimism about his recovery, but the pause adds uncertainty to his return timeline.
