Is Nick Pivetta close? | Padres huge series vs. Yankees | Injury expert Will Carroll

Is there actually good news for the Padres as they head into a huge home series versus the New York Yankees?

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss A.J. Preller's statement that Nick Pivetta could be added to the roster soon. They also discuss the outlook on Joe Musgrove and if his season could be over before it really even started.

The two look into a huge series versus the New York Yankees that will send their three best pitchers, Walker Buehler Robbie Ray, and Michael King up against former Padres prospect Max Fried, Carlos Rodon and Gerrit Cole.

Marty and Darren discuss Fernando Tatis' comments on it being the end of summer and if we're finally going to see a more consistent Padres offense as the clock winds down.

The show then welcomes in Injury Expert's Will Carroll, who discusses the various injuries to PIvetta, Musgrove, Manny Machado, Gavin Sheets, and Miguel Andujar, and how it affects their respective performances. How much will the playoff races be decided by injuries to some of the most important players in the NL West? Carroll discusses the bicep injury to Shohei Ohtani, why his injury is related to his spine, and why it's reminiscent of the injury to Tigers slugger Prince Fielder.
