San Diego Padres right-hander Yu Darvish will miss the 2026 season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon and an internal brace in his pitching elbow.
Darvish, 39, announced Tuesday over social media that was performed by Dr. Keith Meister last week in Arlington, Texas. The Padres, in turn, said the timeline for recovery from ulnar collateral ligament surgery is 12 to 15 months.
'I will be working hard on my rehab to be able to throw a ball comfortably again,' Darvish wrote on social media in Japanese.
A five-time All-Star, Darvish began this past season in July after being sidelined due to elbow inflammation. He posted a 5-5 record with a 5.38 ERA with 19 walks and 68 strikeouts in 15 appearances (all starts).
Overall, Darvish is 115-93 with a 3.65 ERA in 297 appearances (all starts) with the Texas Rangers (2012-17), Los Angeles Dodgers (2017), Chicago Cubs (2018-20) and Padres. Darvish missed the 2015 season with Texas after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
