Yu Darvish, currently on the injured list with a recurring elbow issue, pitched 48 pitches over three simulated game innings, indicating progress. Padres manager Mike Shildt believes Darvish can return without a lengthy rehab, allowing him to build arm strength in Major League games. While a return timeline is not set, the team plans to manage his workload carefully as they face an intense 26-game schedule from May 30. This ongoing elbow concern marks the third consecutive year Darvish has faced related injuries, including significant issues in previous seasons.
Despite being on the injured list since March due to elbow inflammation, Yu Darvish is showing progress and might return to the Padres without lengthy rehab.
Padres manager Mike Shildt indicated Darvish could build arm strength in Major League innings rather than a lengthy minor league rehab assignment.
