Padres' Yu Darvish To Make Season Debut Monday Against Diamondbacks
Major League Baseball Padres' Yu Darvish To Make Season Debut Monday Against Diamondbacks Published Jul. 7, 2025 1:27 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link San Diego Padres right-hander Yu Darvish will be activated from the injured list and make his season debut Monday night at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Japanese star has been sidelined since spring training by right elbow inflammation. "It really just comes down from a physical standpoint," manager Mike Shildt said before the Padres finished a series against Texas on Sunday night. "We always have an open day on the schedule for Yu Darvish to start." Making a start Monday night will allow Darvish to make another start before the All-Star break. Darvish, who turns 39 on Aug. 16, threw a bullpen session Saturday after throwing two simulated games against minor leaguers in the last two weeks. Darvish missed significant time in 2024 with an elbow injury and a personal issue. He made five starts in September and finished the regular season with a 7-3 record and a 3.31 ERA. He pitched well in two starts against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a National League Division Series, earning the win Game 2 and taking the loss in Game 5. The Padres went from having a 2-1 lead in the series to failing to score in the final 24 innings against the eventual World Series champions. ADVERTISEMENT The Padres' rotation is still suffering from a number of injuries, even as Darvish returns. Joe Musgrove underwent Tommy John surgery before the season even began, and won't return until 2026. Michael King, who posted a 2.59 ERA through 10 starts, is out until August or September with a right shoulder injury. And while Dylan Cease is not injured, he's underperforming in his second year with the Padres, exacerbating their rotation issues. The Padres are 48-41, seven games back of the Dodgers in the NL West, and effectively tied for the league's third wild card with the Giants. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Padres' Yu Darvish continues progressing toward return from inflammation in his pitching elbow
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Padres right-hander Yu Darvish threw off a mound for a third straight day Wednesday as he continues to progress toward a return from inflammation in his pitching elbow that landed him on the injured list to start the season. Manager Mike Shildt said Darvish would return to San Diego for another bullpen session Friday or Saturday and then the club would determine the next steps in his recovery. "Came out of it feeling good, spoke with him yesterday after the game, he's very encouraged," Shildt said. "Came in earlier today and played catch. ... He got off the mound again yesterday so it's three days in a row off the mound with some throwing, with a bullpen sandwiched in between. So, recovering, still throwing well. He has a plan for another bullpen and then we'll go from there. All favorable and trending in a good place." The 38-year-old Darvish went on the injured list March 24 and would be pitching in the majors for his 13th season when he's back. Darvish made a pair of spring training starts but was shut down after his second outing, during which he went four innings and threw 54 pitches against Kansas City on March 13. Darvish is 110-88 with a 3.58 ERA over his big league career after pitching for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters in Japan's Pacific League from 2005-11. He had Tommy John surgery on March 17, 2015, and returned to a major league mound on May 28, 2016. He had back, neck and elbow problems last season and was on the restricted list for personal reasons from early July to late August. Darvish won three of four starts in September and was 1-1 with a 1.98 ERA in two starts against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Division Series. Darvish came to the major leagues in 2012 after agreeing to a $56 million, six-year contract with the Texas Rangers. He was traded to the Dodgers in July 2017, became a free agent after the World Series and signed a $126 million, six-year deal with the Chicago Cubs. Darvish was dealt to San Diego after the 2020 season and in February 2023 agreed to a contract with the Padres that added $90 million guaranteed for a total of $108 million over six years. His 2023 season ended in late August because of a bone spur in his right elbow.
