SAN DIEGO — San Diego Padres general manager A.J. Preller says right-hander Joe Musgrove has inflammation in his right shoulder capsule and will be shut down for at least three weeks. Musgrove was scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday at Colorado and had an MRI that revealed the inflammation. Musgrove is 10-3 with a 3.05 ERA. The setback comes as the Padres were beginning to play better after failing to live up to the expectations of having baseball's third-highest payroll. They've won five of six games but remain one game under .500 going into the opener of a four-game home series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
