Yu Darvish's Rehab Assignment Paused
Yu Darvish (elbow) is not ready to come off the injured list to make his 2025 debut in the big leagues after feeling tightness in his right elbow after his last minor-league rehab start with Triple-A El Paso on May 14, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee. The good news is that Darvish continues to play catch after throwing 51 pitches over four innings in his only rehab start for the Chihuahuas. The Padres and Darvish aren't calling this a setback, but it's definitely concerning for a 38-year-old hurler that was only able to make 16 starts for the Friars in 2024 due to arm issues. Darvish is expected to be evaluated further this weekend, at which point we should have a better idea of whether he'll continue on with his rehab assignment or be shut down from throwing. A setback at this point of the year could put the rest of Darvish's season in jeopardy.
