Nick Pivetta, the Padres pitcher returning from the injured list, exits his first rehab outing early with an apparent injury. Multiple reports say Pivetta throws 14 pitches for Class-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday before leaving the field and walking off after an abrupt departure during his rehab start. Yahoo Sports describes the moment as him leaving the mound suddenly during the appearance, while The Athletic reports the total number of pitches and that he exits the outing with an apparent injury. The reports note that Pivetta has been on the injured list since April 14 and that Tuesday’s outing is part of his rehabilitation process. Neither source provides confirmation of the specific injury or a definitive timeline for return. The Padres are also referenced as having added two starters the day before, but the reports focus on Pivetta’s early exit and the apparent setback during the rehab assignment. Further team updates are expected to determine the nature of the injury and the next steps for his recovery.
