Yu Darvish News
San Diego Padres pitcher Yu Darvish (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hip impingement. The Padres optioned Ryan Weathers to Triple-A El Paso, reinstated Craig Stammen from the IL, and recalled Shaun Anderson in corresponding moves. He allowed two earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out six over four innings in his previous start. The 35-year-old was one strikeout shy from logging his fifth 200K campaign. Darvish's season is officially over, and the Padres right-hander finishes with a 4.22 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and a 199:44 K: BB over 166 1/3 innings in 2021.
In likely his final start of 2021, San Diego Padres starter Yu Darvish permitted two earned runs in four innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite six strikeouts, the right-hander labored over 85 pitches, surrendering five knocks and four walks. After an All-Star first half, Darvish cratered in his final 12 starts, absorbing eight losses and a disappointing 6.16 ERA. Overall, the 35-year-old registered eight victories, a 4.22 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 29 percent strikeout rate over 166 innings (30 starts). Under contract for another two seasons, Darvish should enter 2022 as a contender to be the Friars Opening Day starter. Consider him a backend SP2 in early offseason fantasy drafts.
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish had a tough time on the mound in Thursday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He pitched 5 1/3 innings and allowed three hits, three walks and four earned runs while striking out seven. Luckily, the Padres offense came alive for the game and the team went on to win in extra innings, so Darvish was left with a no decision. Darvish has now allowed at least four earned runs in five of his last seven starts. He's had a rough second half of the season and as a result, he has a 4.21 ERA on the year. Fortunately, he's still maintaining a solid 1.07 WHIP and a 29.2% strikeout rate. His next and final start of the year will be on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

One of the most surprising things to happen in baseball over the last few years is how quickly San Diego Padres starting pitcherYu Darvish fixed his walk issues. He posted an 11.7% walk rate in 2018 and then walked 44 batters in his first 66 1/3 innings in 2019. Ever since then, he has posted one of the best walk rates in baseball, recording a 7.7% mark in 2019 and bringing that down to a minuscule 4.7% in 2020. Pair that with his career-average 30% strikeout rate and you have all the makings of a true stud to anchor your staff with. His wins projection gets a boost after being traded to the Padres, a team that has one of the league's better offenses and a strong bullpen backing up their starters. Age is a minor concern -- he will turn 35 during the 2021 season -- but his diverse pitch mix (Statcast gives him credit for throwing eight different pitches over the last two years) helps maintain a high floor, even if he does start to lose a bit of velocity and precision. Darvish can be drafted with confidence at his current second-round ADP of 18.
