Overview

  • San Diego will activate Darvish from the injured list on Monday ahead of his season debut versus the Diamondbacks.
  • He’s been sidelined since spring training by right elbow inflammation that delayed his return.
  • The 38-year-old completed two simulated games and threw a bullpen session Saturday to earn clearance.
  • Manager Mike Shildt has set a 75-pitch limit for Darvish’s debut as he eyes another start before the All-Star break.
  • Right-hander Zac Gallen (6-9, 5.45 ERA) will oppose Darvish in the opener of San Diego’s four-game series against Arizona.
