Darvish (illness) is questionable for the Padres' three-game weekend series against the Reds, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seth Lugo is expected to start Friday's series opener in Cincinnati, but the Padres are still in wait-and-see mode on both Darvish and Michael Wacha (shoulder) as they hold off on setting the remainder of their weekend probables. Darvish was scratched from his previous turn Tuesday versus the Pirates due to an illness and has yet to throw his typical between-starts bullpen session, though he did play catch Thursday. The best-case scenario is likely that Darvish returns for Sunday's series finale at Great American Ball Park, with Wacha handling Saturday's game.

Darvish (illness) might be pushed back again in the Padres' rotation, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish fell ill -- and was scratched -- ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Pirates and he was still feeling unwell as of Wednesday evening. It's unclear at this point when he might be able to slot back in for San Diego. Blake Snell is taking the mound Wednesday night in Pittsburgh and Joe Musgrove will handle Thursday's series finale. There should be a fresh update on Darvish's status around the end of the week.

Darvish will miss his scheduled start Tuesday against the Pirates due to illness, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish's illness will sit him down for Tuesday's start, though it's certainly possible he returns before his next turn in the rotation -- tenatively scheduled for July 2 against Cincinnati. Reiss Knehr will come out of the Padres' bullpen to start in Darvish's place.

Darvish (5-6) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish was done in by a rough fifth inning, which saw the Giants rally for all four runs on five hits, a walk and a sacrifice fly. It's the second start in a row where the right-hander has dropped off in the fifth -- while it's too soon to call it a pattern, it's at least something to monitor over the remainder of the first half. He's given up 14 runs across 16.1 innings in his last three starts, raising his ERA for the year to 4.84 with a 1.23 WHIP and 85:25 K:BB through 80 innings. Darvish is lined up for a road start in Pittsburgh next week.

Darvish (5-5) yielded six runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings Friday, striking out five and taking a loss against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish coughed up two runs through four innings before the Rays broke the game open in the fifth, led by Randy Arozarena's three-run shot. Over his last two starts, Darvish has allowed 10 runs in 10.1 innings, shooting his ERA back up to 4.74 through 13 starts in 2023. He's given up at least four runs in six of those outings, including four of his last six. He'll look to move back over .500 in his next start, which is lined up to be in San Francisco next week.

Darvish will make his next scheduled start Friday against the Rays, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish was on turn to pitch Thursday versus the Guardians, but he and Ryan Weathers will flip-flop spots. It's a big downgrade in matchup for Darvish, but you can understand it from the Padres' perspective in not wanting to throw Weathers against Tampa Bay.

Darvish (5-4) earned the win Friday over the Rockies, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish was able to escape Coors Field with his third win in his last four starts. He had a strong start going before fading in the sixth inning. Darvish has given up 14 runs over his last 21 innings, but seven of those runs came in a short start versus the Yankees. For the season, the veteran right-hander has managed a 4.30 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 74:22 K:BB through 69 innings over 12 outings. He's lined up for a home start versus light-hitting Cleveland next week.

Darvish (4-4) earned the win Saturday over the Cubs, allowed two hits and a walk while striking out nine over seven shutout innings.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish had his worst start of the year versus the Yankees on Sunday, but he responded in a big way. This was the second time he's completed seven innings in 2023, and the three baserunners he allowed were a season low. The 36-year-old's performance has tailed off a bit -- he'd allowed at least four runs in three of his previous six starts before Saturday's dominant showing. Darvish is at a 4.10 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 68:18 K:BB through 63.2 innings through 11 outings this season. He'll look to build off this one, though he's projected for a challenging road start in Colorado his next time out.

Darvish (3-4) took the loss Sunday, allowing seven runs on seven hits over 2.2 innings against the Yankees. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish allowed five consecutive hits without recording an out in the third inning, eventually surrendering six runs in the frame. It's been an up-and-down year for Darvish -- his ERA is up to 5.74 through five starts in May after posting a 3.60 mark in April. Overall, the 36-year-old Darvish sports a 4.61 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP and 59:17 K:BB through 10 starts (56.2 innings) this season. He'll look to right the ship in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week against the Cubs.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
