Darvish Goes To IL Due To Elbow Inflammation

The San Diego Padres season is running toward despair. Another starting pitcher left.

The Padres placed right-hander Darvish Yu on the injured list on the 15th, citing inflammation in his right elbow, ahead of an away game against the St. Louis Cardinals on the 29th.

Darvish was sluggish with six hits, one home run, one walk, three strikeouts and five runs in four innings against the Milwaukee Brewers on the 26th.

In the last three games, he allowed a lot of runs with a 7.31 ERA (13 earned runs in 16 innings), 2 home runs, 3 walks, and 16 strikeouts. And eventually getting on the injured list. 스포츠토토

Darvish played only eight games of the season in 2018 due to elbow problems. Since then, he has consistently played more than 30 games and boasted durability, but a problem occurred this time.

Darvish, who agreed to a six-year, $108 million contract extension ahead of this season, was 8-10 with a 4.56 ERA, throwing 136 1/3 innings in 24 games in his first year of contract.

He struggled in the early stages as preparations for the season were delayed due to his participation in the World Baseball Classic (WBC), but he later appeared to be stabilizing. However, he is on the verge of finishing the season due to injury.

It's a big loss for the whole team. San Diego's Joe Musgrove was sidelined with a shoulder injury, followed by another starting pitcher.

Currently, Blake Snell, Michael Waka and Seth Lugo are supporting the starting rotation.

Right-hander Matt Waldron is called up. The knuckleball pitcher has allowed seven runs in 92/3 innings in two big league appearances this year.
