San Diego Padres pitcher Yu Darvish has denied reports of his immediate retirement, stating he is leaning toward voiding his contract but has not made a final decision. The 39-year-old right-hander, recovering from elbow surgery, emphasized his focus on rehabilitation and potential return to pitching. His agent confirmed ongoing discussions with the team.
The San Diego Padres placed right-hander Yu Darvish on the restricted list Wednesday, finalizing their 26-man roster ahead of Thursday's season opener against the Detroit Tigers at Petco Park. This follows Darvish's January refutation of retirement rumors, where he indicated he was leaning toward voiding his contract while focusing on elbow rehab. Recovering from right elbow surgery, Darvish will miss the 2026 season, freeing a spot on the 40-man roster and potentially $15 million in payroll.
