Yu Darvish’s Comeback Timeline | San Diego Padres News

Yu Darvish is making steady progress in his elbow rehab, already throwing bullpen sessions despite a typical 12-15 month recovery timeline. With two years and $30M left on his contract, he’s focused on healing before deciding his future — including whether to retire or return, potentially as early as 2027. Placed on the restricted list in March, he’s sidelined from team duties but not paid, giving him space to recover and reflect. His manager sees promise in his current form, and with a fastball still clocking 93 mph and over 2,000 MLB strikeouts to his name, Darvish’s comeback remains a real possibility — if he chooses to pursue it.
