Yu Darvish Dealing With Bone Spur
1 year agoSan Diego Padres right-hander Yu Darvish (elbow) has a bone spur in his right elbow and received a cortisone shot, according to manager Bob Melvin. Darvish will be shut down temporarily. There's still a chance he'll pitch again this season, but it's likely contingent on something changing in a big way in the National League standings. The Padres entered play on Thursday 10 games under .500 and 7.5 games out of the final wild-card spot in the NL with four teams in front of them, so it's highly unlikely they'll get into the postseason. Fantasy managers should already be preparing for the 37-year-old not to return in 2023. The five-time All-Star has had an up-and-down year in 2023, going 8-10 with a 4.56 ERA (4.04 FIP), 1.29 WHIP, 43 walks and 141 K's in 136 1/3 innings over his 24 starts.
