San Diego Padres right-hander Yu Darvish (elbow) said the most he's thrown while away from the team is two simulated innings, so he's still a ways away from returning to the major-league starting rotation. However, Darvish said he feels healthy, and his placement on the injured list was "a matter of ramping up" after all the time off. He was able to throw a 27-pitch bullpen session at Petco Park on Friday before the game against the New York Mets. The 38-year-old veteran Japanese starter initially went on the IL with a groin injury before developing an elbow injury. Darvish was activated from the restricted list on Friday due to a personal matter, but he now needs to ramp his arm back up for a potential late-season or playoff return. Even if Darvish makes it back at some point in September, he might only have a start or two as a fantasy option.
The San Diego Padres reinstated right-hander Yu Darvish (elbow, personal) from the restricted list on Friday and returned him to the 15-day injured list. Darvish will rejoin the team in San Diego on Friday for their game against the New York Mets at Petco Park. To make room on the 40-man roster, infielder Matthew Batten was designated for assignment. The 38-year-old Darvish has not pitched since suffering a strained left groin in May 29. He then experienced right-elbow inflammation before being put on the restricted list due to a personal matter. The veteran Japanese hurler isn't ready to return to the Friars' starting rotation, but he's been throwing on his own and took part in a live batting practice session back on Aug. 12. It's unclear when he might come off the IL, and Darvish is running out of time to make a difference for fantasy managers in the final month of the season.
San Diego Padres right-hander Yu Darvish (personal), who has been out since late May, threw a live batting practice session on Sunday at a San Diego-area high school, according to league sources. Darvish has been working out and throwing on his own since he went on the restricted list on July 6 and appeared healthy and in good form, according to multiple observers. He hasn't told the team whether he plans to return in 2024, but his throwing session indicates he is keeping that option open. The Japanese veteran went on the injured list on May 30 with a left-groin strain and was nearing a return in June when he experienced minor elbow inflammation. Then the 37-year-old was put on the restricted list with what manager Mike Shildt called "a personal matter involving his family." The Padres aren't closing the door on Darvish's return, but he's quickly running out of time to make an impact again for fantasy managers.
The San Diego Padres are holding out hope that right-hander Yu Darvish (elbow, personal) will return this season. They are giving Darvish support and space and admire him as an "honorable man" after he volunteered to go on the restricted list to open a spot up on the team's roster. Darvish initially landed on the 15-day injured list back in early June with a strained groin and then had a setback with his elbow. In addition to his injuries, the 37-year-old was put on the restricted list over three weeks ago while he deals with a personal issue. He has not thrown in a month, so even if he begins ramping up activities sometime soon, fantasy managers probably wouldn't be able to use Darvish until the final month of the regular season. Time is running out. In his 11 starts in 2024 before his groin injury, the veteran Japanese hurler went 4-3 with a 3.20 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 53 K's in 56 1/3 innings.
San Diego Padres right-hander Yu Darvish (groin, elbow) was placed on the restrictive list Saturday. He is dealing with a personal matter and will be out for an indefinite period of time. The 37-year-old had been sidelined with a groin strain and right elbow inflammation since early June. He previously did light throwing, and the imaging on his right elbow came back clean. The Padres moved Darvish from the injured list to the restrictive list. Darvish owned a 3.20 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a 53: 15 K: BB across 56 1/3 innings before landing on the IL. It's unclear how long Darvish will be away from the team, but fantasy managers should continue to stash him in all league formats.
