San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish (elbow) was activated off the injured list earlier on Wednesday and is slated to start this evening against the Detroit Tigers. It has been a long recovery process for the 38-year-old as he has not taken a major league mound since late May due to elbow inflammation. However, despite the lengthy timetable, Darvish did not embark on a rehab assignment, which could suggest he may face a minor pitch limit through his first handful of starts. Before the injury, Darvish held a 3.20 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a 15:53 BB:K ratio across 56 innings of work. Darvish should be rostered in all leagues down the stretch and should be started in all formats this evening against the Tigers, who hold a high 24.3% K rate against right-handers this summer.
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish (groin) is scheduled to take the mound and throw a bullpen session on Monday. Darvish appears to be on the verge of returning to the mound after being sidelined since late May. The 38-year-old is expected to come off the injured list and start against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. It will be his first start in months, which means Darvish is likely going to be limited during his first game back. The right-hander holds a 3.20 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a 53/15 K/BB ratio across 11 starts this season. He should be a viable fantasy option for managers in need of starting pitching down the stretch of the season.UPDATE: Manager Mike Shildt confirmed on Monday that Darvish will start on Wednesday.
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish (elbow) threw 66 pitches in a controlled minor-league game on Friday evening. Bernie Wilson of the Associated Press reported that the 38-year-old felt well after the session. However, his next steps still have yet to be determined. Darvish has been sidelined since June with elbow inflammation. However, seeing that he is ramping up his pitch count without seeing any setbacks is a great sign. Before the injury, Darvish held a solid 3.20 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, with a 15:53 BB:K ratio across 56 1/3 innings of work. Fantasy managers should continue to hold Darvish on an IL spot if they have the room, as he could be nearing a potential return to the major leagues.
San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt said that right-hander Yu Darvish (elbow) had three up-and-downs during a simulated game on Sunday at Petco Park before the team's game against the New York Mets. Darvish felt good after the session and appears to be moving forward towards the next step of his rehab process, which will either be a minor-league rehab assignment or another structured simulated game. The 38-year-old veteran Japanese hurler was recently returned to the 15-day injured list after a long stay on the restricted list this year due to some personal matters. He hasn't appeared in a game in the majors in 2024 since May 29, so given the long layoff, it would be reasonable to expect Darvish to need at least several rehab starts before rejoining SD's starting rotation. With time running out in the regular season, Darvish may only make several starts for fantasy managers the rest of the way.
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish (groin) took the mound for a simulated game on Sunday. The right-hander reportedly looked good as he threw 54 pitches and got 13 outs along the way. Darvish was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday. That being said, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Darvish to be back in the big league rotation until some point in September. Before the injury, Darvish held a 3.20 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 53/15 K/BB ratio across 11 starts for the Padres. It's uncertain at this point if Darvish will offer much or any fantasy value to managers in redraft formats. The timetable for his return is still unknown, so fantasy managers will need to stay tuned for more updates.
