AUGUST 27 • SI.COM

Throws second bullpen session Darvish (elbow) threw a bullpen session at Petco Park on Wednesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's the second time Darvish has thrown off the mound since he underwent internal brace surgery on his right elbow last October. The 40-year-old is not expected to pitch in 2026, and he remains undecided on continuing his baseball career, but he will continue rehabbing as he leaves open the possibility of pitching in 2027. Darvish has two years and $30 million remaining on contract with the Padres after this season.

Takes first step in rehab program Darvish (elbow) revealed Tuesday in a social media post that he has resumed playing catch.

Impact Though the Padres are currently stashing Darvish on the restricted list rather than the injured list, the 39-year-old righty is slated to miss the entire 2026 season after undergoing an internal brace procedure on his pitching arm in Oct. 29. Just over six months into what will likely be a 12-to-15-month recovery process, Darvish seems to be progressing as expected, and he'll likely advance to throwing off a mound and potentially facing hitters before the end of the season. Darvish still has two years remaining on his contract after this season, but retirement could be a possibility if he doesn't feel he can compete at a high level once he completes his recovery from surgery.

Impact Darvish's placement on the restricted list frees up significant payroll for the Padres as they don't have to pay a salary to the veteran right-hander for as long as he's sidelined, per Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com. Darvish will miss the entire 2026 season after undergoing UCL repair surgery on his right elbow in November, and while he has mulled over retirement, a formal decision has yet to be made by the 39-year-old.
