Yu Darvish Placed on Restricted List by Padres
Veteran pitcher steps away indefinitely to address personal family matter, impacting team's rotation depth.
- Darvish has been dealing with injuries, including a groin strain and elbow inflammation.
- He last pitched on May 29 and was nearing a return before this personal matter arose.
- Players on the restricted list do not count against the roster and do not receive salary or service time.
- Darvish's absence compounds the Padres' rotation issues, with Joe Musgrove also sidelined.
- The team may need to seek rotation reinforcements ahead of the trade deadline.
