Yu Darvish (hamstring) expected to make next start for Padres

San Diego Padres pitcher Yu Darvish (right hamstring cramp) is expected to make his next start after exiting Sunday's start against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

What It Means:

Darvish exited with a trainer in the bottom of the sixth inning, but he should be fine for his scheduled start on Sunday against the San Francisco Giants. The 36-year-old right-hander punched out five before leaving and earned his first win of the season.

Darvish is averaging 33.3 FanDuel points through four starts this season. He has a 3.00 ERA (3.23 xERA) and .259 wOBA (.283 xwOBA) across 24 innings, with a 25.5% strikeout rate and 12.2% walk rate. The veteran is allowing a career-best 31.0% hard-hit rate so far in 2023. numberFire's models project Darvish for 35.7 FanDuel points on Sunday.
