"Pivetta's velocity was down on his final pitch, and he appeared frustrated as he exited the game with manager Craig Stammen and a team trainer."
"Stammen indicated that Pivetta may undergo imaging tomorrow depending on how he feels in the morning, but offered some optimism suggesting that 'there's a world' where Pivetta makes his next start."
"Pivetta was the team's top starter last year, pitching to a 2.87 ERA in 181 2/3 innings across 31 starts, making any time missed a significant blow to San Diego."
"If Pivetta does wind up missing time due to his ailing elbow, it seems likely that the Padres will turn to either Matt Waldron or Griffin Canning to fill the void."
Nick Pivetta left the game against the Rockies in the fourth inning due to right elbow stiffness. His velocity was down, and he showed frustration while exiting. Manager Craig Stammen mentioned that Pivetta might undergo imaging depending on his condition. Pivetta previously missed a start in Spring Training due to arm fatigue. If he misses time, the Padres may rely on Matt Waldron or Griffin Canning, both currently on the injured list but progressing in rehab assignments.
