Blake Snell, Yu Darvish Expected Back Right After Break
3 years agoSan Diego Padres starting pitchers Blake Snell (illness) and Yu Darvish (back, hip) are both expected to rejoin the rotation right after the All-Star break. The Padres plan to go with Chris Paddack, Snell and Joe Musgrove to start the second half against the Washington Nationals, with Darvish starting the first game on the road against the Atlanta Braves. Snell recently came off the injured list with a stomach issue but went right back on it after missing his start on Friday. The talented southpaw has been disappointing for fantasy managers because of his inability to throw consistent strikes, and he'll be a risky fantasy play in his first start back. Darvish has been fantastic this year but struggled in his last two starts before landing on the IL, but that was likely due to his injuries. When healthy, the Japanese right-hander has been a must-start.
