Yu Darvish to Miss Rest of Season With Stress Reaction on Elbow, Triceps Strain

Darvish was pulled after one inning in his rehab start on Sunday.

Cubs pitcher Yu Darvish will reportedly miss the remainder of the season with a stress reaction on his right elbow, according to The Athletic's Sahadev Sharma.

After undergoing an MRI, Darvish will reportedly be shut down for six weeks. He also has a triceps strain, reports Sharma.

Darvish, 32, has battled triceps and elbow injuries this season. He was pulled from his rehab start with the Class-A South Bend Cubs after only one inning on Sunday.

While warming up for the second inning, Darvish threw six pitches but winced with each one. After a discussion with South Bend manager Jimmy Gonzalez and a trainer, Darvish left the mound and walked to the dugout.

In eight starts this season with Chicago, Darvish has posted a 4.95 ERA with a 1-3 record. He signed a six-year, $126 million deal with the Cubs in February.
