Yu Darvish Back on Track | San Diego Padres News

Yu Darvish’s comeback is heating up — after sitting out all season following elbow surgery, the Padres’ ace just completed his second full bullpen session and sounds ready to pitch. Manager Craig Stammen says Darvish looks game, though the decision to return is ultimately his. Despite earlier retirement rumors, Darvish hasn’t made up his mind — and with $30 million still on his contract and a restricted list waiver that cost him $16M this year, there’s serious financial incentive to come back. His last outing? A Wild Card inning against the Cubs before surgery. Last season was his worst yet (5-5, 5.38 ERA), but now he’s throwing again and feeling optimistic. The Padres are watching closely — and so is baseball. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
