Solid in third win Darvish (3-3) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk over six innings in a 7-4 victory over the Nationals. He struck out four.

Impact The veteran right-hander delivered his fourth quality start of the season, with three of them coming in his last four outings. Darvish tossed 67 of 90 pitches for strikes and blanked Washington for four innings before CJ Abrams and Lane Thomas homered back-to-back in the fifth. Darvish will take a 3.67 ERA and 59:17 K:BB through 54 innings into his next start, which is likely to come on the road this weekend in Yankee Stadium.

Knocked around Darvish (2-3) took the loss Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Royals. He struck out six.

Impact Darvish was in control through five innings, having allowed just one run, Darvish started the sixth by walking Bobby Witt then gave up three extra-base hits before being pulled. The sixth inning pushed Darvish's ERA up to 3.56 and his WHIP to 1.13. The righty is tentatively scheduled to face the Nationals in his next start.

Fans seven in no-decision Darvish allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out seven batters in a no-decision against Minnesota on Thursday.

Impact Darvish was efficient in the outing, needing a modest 80 pitches (52 of which were strikes) to get through six frames. He departed with a one-run lead, but the Padres bullpen couldn't hold it, saddling Darvish with a no-decision. The right-hander nonetheless picked up his third quality start of the campaign and lowered his ERA to 3.16. Darvish also sports a 1.08 WHIP and 47:14 K:BB across 42.2 innings.

Rebounds nicely Friday Darvish (2-2) earned the win Friday over the Dodgers, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out six over 6.2 innings.

Impact Darvish gave up one run in each of the first and seventh innings, and he was tough to hit in between those hiccups. The right-hander rebounded from giving up three homers in last appearance, though that one came at altitude in Mexico City last Sunday. This was Darvish's second quality start in six outings this season, and he has a 3.19 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB through 36.2 innings. He's on track for a road start in Minnesota next week.

Gives up three homers Darvish did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs on nine hits over six innings against the Giants. He struck out nine.

Impact Darvish fell victim to the high altitude of Mexico City, allowing a trio of solo home runs to LaMonte Wade, J.D. Davis and Mitch Haniger in separate innings. However, he was able to salvage the outing by allowing just one other run while also striking out nine. Darvish's swing-and-miss arsenal has been inconsistent this season, with 21 of his 34 punchouts coming from two appearances. He is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Saturday against the hard-hitting Dodgers.

Cleared to start Sunday Darvish (hamstring) is listed as the Padres' probable starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Giants in Mexico City.

Impact Darvish experienced right hamstring cramping in his most recent start April 23 in Arizona, but with the Padres having two days off this week, the right-hander was afforded some extra recovery time and appears to have recovered nicely. He takes a 1-2 record, 3.00 ERA and 1.13 WHIP into his fifth start of the season this weekend.

On track to start Sunday Darvish (hamstring) is on track to start Sunday for the Padres against the Giants in Mexico City, Joey Pollizze of MLB.com reports.

Impact Darvish left Sunday's start against the Diamondbacks with a right hamstring crap, but the right-hander's absence was described as precautionary. If there are any signs of setback it's possible the Padres could push Darvish back, but it does appear that the 36-year-old won't end up missing any time with the hamstring trouble.

Expected to make next start Darvish was diagnosed with a right hamstring cramp after exiting Sunday's start against the Diamondbacks, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Darvish exited with a trainer in the bottom of the sixth inning Sunday, but his injury isn't believed to be particularly serious. Manager Bob Melvin said after the game that he expects Darvish to make his next start, which lines up for next weekend against the Giants. Following Sunday's start in which he earned his first win of the season, Darvish now has a 3.00 ERA, 25:12 K:BB and 1.13 WHIP in 24 innings over his first four outings in 2023.

Exits Sunday's start Darvish was removed from Sunday's start against Arizona in the bottom of the sixth inning due to an apparent lower-body injury, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.

Impact Darvish's start was pushed from Saturday to Sunday, and he allowed a run on two hits and five walks while striking out five in 5.2 innings prior to exiting with a trainer in the sixth frame. The exact nature and severity of his injury are unclear, and whether he'll be able to make his next scheduled start remains to be seen.

Start pushed back to Sunday Darvish is now scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Darvish was originally scheduled to get the ball Saturday against Arizona, but Joe Musgrove is now going to make his season debut in that contest, so the ace of the Padres will be moved to Sunday.

Tough-luck loss Sunday Darvish (0-2) allowed one run on four hits and two walks over seven innings Sunday, striking out 12 while taking the loss against the Brewers.

Impact Darvish was locked into a pitcher's duel with Wade Miley and unfortunately came out on the wrong side despite a dazzling performance. The 36-year-old had solid command of all his pitches, finishing with 10+ strikeouts for the 50th time in his career. Darvish was defeated via small ball after Garrett Mitchell reached via a bunt single in the second inning. He got to second on a balk and then stole third before crossing the plate on a sacrifice fly by Brian Anderson. It was a nice bounce back outing from Darvish, who lowered his ERA to 3.44 to go with a 1.09 WHIP over 18.1 innings. He'll be in search of his first win of the year when he takes the mound next weekend against the Diamondbacks.

Impact The veteran righty coughed up a two-run double to Jeff McNeil in the third inning. That was the only damage against Darvish until the Mets plated three runs in the seventh.

Walks four in season debut Darvish did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and four walks over five innings in an 8-6 loss to Arizona. He struck out three.

Impact Due to limited usage in the World Baseball Classic, Darvish's season debut was pushed back as he needed a bit more time to build up his arm. While this wasn't his most dominant outing in terms of whiffs, and his command was spotty at times, Darvish completed five frames on 91 pitches and left with the lead. He will look to build on this performance his next time out in what projects as a road matchup against the Mets.
