Padres reinstate RHP Darvish from restricted list
Right-hander Yu Darvish was reinstated by the San Diego Padres on Friday.
Darvish was placed on the restricted list in early July, with the team saying at the time that he was dealing with a personal matter involving his family.
The Padres said he was joining the team in San Diego on Friday, when they were scheduled to take on the New York Mets. For now, he’s been added back to the 15-day injured list, and the Padres did not say when he’ll be ready to pitch.
Darvish, 38, is 4-3 with a 3.20 ERA in 11 starts this season.
He spent time on the injured list earlier this year with a groin strain.
To make room on the 40-man roster, infielder Matthew Batten was designated for assignment.
