San Diego Padres right-hander Darby Shot Yu, who left due to an elbow injury, left the team.
San Diego coach Bob Melvin gave the news of Darvish in an interview ahead of an away game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium 스포츠토토 in St. Louis, Missouri on the 30th (Korean time).
Melvin took luck saying, “There is no new update yet,” and revealed that he had left the team to receive a second opinion, saying, “Darvish went to Texas to see Dr. Meister.”
As he said, Darvish didn’t show up at the Padres clubhouse that day. The day before, he had gone to the St. Louis area doctor for a checkup.
Dr. Keith Meister is a doctor familiar to Darvish. The doctor who performed his Tommy John surgery in 2015 was Dr. Meister.
“I went to a doctor who knew his elbow,” Melvin said, explaining that Darvish went to a doctor he was familiar with. He will not return to St. Louis, but will return to San Diego immediately.
Darvish, who had been sluggish with 13 runs in 16 innings in the last three games and 5 runs in 4 innings in the last Milwaukee trip, was placed on the injured list due to elbow inflammation.
Darvish told the situation in an interview after the game the day before, saying, “We are continuing to communicate with the medical staff and other officials.”
Darvish, who is in the first year of a six-year, $108 million extension, is 8-10 with a 4.56 ERA in 136 1/3 innings in 24 games this season.
“I don’t think it’s over yet,” he said. His goal is to come back this season,” he said, expressing his willingness to return within the season, but there is not much time left.
