Eligibility
Yu Darvish delivered a solid performance on Tuesday, allowing no earned runs on just three hits while striking out three over five innings in the Padres' 6-4 win against the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a breath of fresh air for Darvish, who had been out since April 14 and has had a mixed start to the season. His season ERA now stands at 3.45 with a WHIP of 1.15. The strikeout rate isn't what it once was from Darvish, but he is still capable of solid fantasy contributions.
Yu Darvish is expected to start on Tuesday against the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
Darvish will be activated from the injured list which he has been on since for the past couple of weeks. He posted a 4.18 ERA over 23 2/3 innings to start the season.
Darvish was placed on the 15-day IL Wednesday with neck tightness.
Fantasy Impact
In Darvish's four starts for the Padres this season, he has a 0-1 record and a 4.18 ERA. He was scheduled to make his next start on Saturday versus the Blue Jays but a neck injury is forcing the 37-year-old to hit the IL. The Padres recalled Logan Gillaspie from Triple-A El Paso to replace Darvish on the 26-man roster.
Yu Darvish allowed three runs on four hits over five innings with two strikeouts and two walks against the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
Darvish did not factor into the decision. He is scheduled to face Toronto next.
Yu Darvish's latest start was more reminiscent of a tightrope walk than a commanding pitching performance, as he struggled to find his rhythm against the Cubs on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Lasting only 3 innings and throwing a mere 65 pitches, Darvish allowed 4 hits and 3 walks, translating to 4 earned runs before being pulled from the game. Despite his shaky outing, the Padres managed to edge out a 9-8 victory over the Cubs, leaving Darvish without a decision. This performance is a blip in what has been a solid season for Darvish, who, prior to this game, boasted a respectable 3.86 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP across 4 starts.
