Padres' Nick Pivetta: Optimism despite rehab departure
Pivetta (forearm) exited Tuesday's rehab start with Single-A Lake Elsinore due to elbow tightness, but he threw in the bullpen after leaving the outing and felt fine, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Pivetta abruptly left the mound in the middle of an at-bat in the fourth inning. Despite that departure, Pivetta went to the bullpen and threw 30 more pitches without issue, according to Nightengale. It sounds like the right-hander has avoided a significant setback in his return from a forearm strain, but the Padres could take another look at Pivetta's arm before he makes his next rehab start.

Padres' Nick Pivetta: Departs rehab outing
Pivetta (forearm) was removed from his rehab start with Single-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday due to an apparent injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander was making his first rehab appearance since going down with a forearm strain in mid-April, but he exited Tuesday's game during the middle of an at-bat after throwing a pitch in the fourth inning. The specifics of the situation are unclear, but any sort of significant setback could threaten Pivetta's availability for the rest of the season. The Padres will likely provide an update in the near future.

Padres' Nick Pivetta: Ready for rehab assignment
Pivetta (forearm) is slated to make a rehab appearance for Single-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday.
Pivetta has been on the injured list since April 14 due to a right forearm strain, but he's finally reached the last stage of his lengthy recovery process. He won't be the only rehabbing starter slated to pitch for Lake Elsinore on Tuesday, as Joe Musgrove (elbow) is also on track to either start or pitch in relief behind Pivetta. Given the length of his absence, Pivetta would normally require most of his 30-day window to get fully stretched out for a return to the San Diego rotation, but the Padres will give him the chance to streamline his rehab assignment. According to Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, Pivetta is expected to be activated from the 60-day IL before Aug. 22, when his stay on the shelf would reach 130 days. Per the terms of the four-year contract Pivetta signed in February 2025, if he's deactivated for 130 consecutive days at any point this season or next, his $14 million player option for 2027 and $18 million player option for 2028 would turn into club options.

Padres' Nick Pivetta: Facing hitters this week
Pivetta (forearm) will throw a live batting practice session this week, Annie Heilbrunn of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
It's a big step for Pivetta, who will face hitters for the first time since going down with a right flexor strain in mid-April. The veteran right-hander could be ready for rehab assignment if his live BP goes well, but he will require several rehab starts to get built back up before rejoining the Padres' rotation.

Padres' Nick Pivetta: Completes up-and-down session
Padres manager Craig Stammen said that Pivetta (forearm) felt good after completing an up-and-down bullpen session Friday at the Padres' facility in Arizona, Sammy Levitt of 97.3 The Fan San Diego reports.
According to Stammen, Pivetta threw approximately 15-to-20 pitches before taking a break, then threw another 15-to-20 pitches to finish out the workout. The right-hander has been throwing off a mound for a few weeks now and is seemingly in the process of building up the volume and intensity of those bullpen sessions before he advances to facing live hitters. Pivetta has been stuck on the injured list since April 14 due to a right forearm flexor strain, and he'll have some financial incentive to try and make his way back on the Padres' active roster by Aug. 22. If Pivetta doesn't return by that date, it would trigger a clause in his contract that would void the final two years and $32 million left on his deal since he would have spent 130 consecutive days on the IL, per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Padres' Nick Pivetta: Completes light bullpen session
Pivetta (forearm) threw a light bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports.
Pivetta likely didn't incorporate all of his pitchers or throw at full intensity, but the bullpen session is a step forward nonetheless as he works his way back from a flexor strain. The right-hander will need to complete multiple side sessions before advancing to facing hitters in live batting practice and eventually heading out on an extended rehab assignment. The Padres haven't pinpointed a target date for his return, but Pivetta's stay on the 60-day injured list will likely be extended through at least late July or early August.

Padres' Nick Pivetta: Could throw off mound soon
Pivetta (forearm) has advanced to playing long toss and could soon begin throwing off a mound, MLB.com reports.
Pivetta has been sidelined by a right flexor strain since mid-April. The right-handed hurler began a throwing program in late May, but he's yet to start up mound work. With that big step potentially looming, Pivetta appears to be making tangible progress in his recovery. Nonetheless, he's not expected to return to San Diego's rotation until sometime after the All-Star break.

Padres' Nick Pivetta: Increases throwing distance
Pivetta (forearm) progressed to throwing from 90 feet with some intensity June 10, per MLB.com.
Pivetta has been on the shelf due to a right flexor strain since mid-April. He resumed a throwing program by playing catch May 29 and has since ramped up his throwing distance and intensity, though he's yet to get back on a mound. Pivetta still has several obstacles to clear and isn't likely to return to the Padres' rotation until sometime after the All-Star break.

Padres' Nick Pivetta: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Padres transferred Pivetta (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
The right-hander landed on the shelf in mid-April due to a flexor strain and isn't expected back anytime soon, so the move to the 60-day IL doesn't affect his return outlook. Pivetta recently returned to playing catch, but he still has a significant way to go in his throwing program before returning to game action.

Padres' Nick Pivetta: Begins throwing program Friday
Pivetta (forearm) played catch Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union Tribune reports.
Though Pivetta's throwing was on flat ground in the outfield at Nationals Park, it was still a significant step given that it was the first time he has played catch since landing on the injured list April 14. The veteran pitcher is expected to continue playing catch on flat ground for at least two weeks before a determination is made about his next steps. Acee reports that the Padres are being cautious with Pivetta as well as with fellow injured starter Joe Musgrove (elbow). It's quite possible that neither pitcher will be ready to return until after the All-Star break.
