Padres Move Yu Darvish to Injured List

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Padres have reinstated right-handed pitcher Yu Darvish from the restricted list, where he had been since July 6 due to personal family matters. The team announced that Darvish will now return to the 15-day injured list as he continues to recover from ongoing health issues. Darvish's situation has been complicated this season, as he was already on the injured list prior to his placement on the restricted list. Initially sidelined with a groin strain, he was expected to return to action on June 25 against the Washington Nationals. However, he experienced elbow inflammation, which delayed his return and kept him on the injured list. In his 11 starts this season, Darvish has recorded a 4-3 win-loss record with a 3.20 earned run average (ERA). His performance has been a key component of the Padres' pitching rotation, and his absence has been felt by the team as they navigate the challenges of the season. As Darvish re-joins the team, the Padres will be looking to monitor his recovery closely, hoping for a swift return to form. The team continues to face a competitive landscape in Major League Baseball, and Darvish's health will be crucial for their aspirations moving forward.
