Padres' Pivetta sidelined long-term with flexor strain; rotation depth tested

TL;DR Summary
Padres Opening Day starter Nick Pivetta has a flexor strain and will miss weeks to months, with Matt Waldron stepping into the rotation. San Diego’s depth behind Michael King is thin as Yu Darvish is out and Musgrove’s timeline is uncertain, and Pivetta could opt out of the remaining two years and $32 million on his contract if healthy.
