The veteran pitcher returns to San Diego but remains on the injured list as he recovers from a groin strain.
- Darvish was placed on the restricted list in July due to a personal family matter, now resolved.
- He has been added back to the 15-day injured list and is expected to need rehab assignments before pitching again.
- Infielder Matthew Batten was designated for assignment to make room on the roster.
- Darvish has a 3.20 ERA in 11 starts this season, despite previous injuries.
- The Padres are currently in the Wild Card race, with hopes of a fully healthy rotation soon.
