San Diego Yu Darubish is Out for the Season due to Elbow Injury... I'm Worried About Surgery too

San Diego is crying... Failed in the first year of a 6-year, 143.5 billion won long-term contract

San Diego Padres' Japanese starting pitcher Yu Darubish (37) ended his season with an elbow injury.

Darubish said in an interview with local reporters including MLB.com ahead of the 2023 American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) visit game with the Los Angeles Dodgers to be held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the 13th (Korean time)

"After the injury (inflammation) “I devoted myself to treatment and recovery, including receiving cortisone injections,” he said.
“But recently, when I started playing catch, the pain in my elbow continued. 바카라사이트

“Under the current situation, we decided it would be better to end this season early,” he said.

Darubish said, “It is unfortunate that the team did not achieve good results this season,” and added, “I also feel a sense of responsibility.”

Darubish returned to Milwaukee on the 26th of last month . After a poor performance against the Brewers, allowing 5 runs in 4 innings, he complained of pain in his right elbow, and was placed on the 15-day injured list (IL) on the 29th of last month.

The condition of my elbow did not improve much.

In addition, his team, San Diego, has virtually failed to advance to the postseason, so the meaning of his return has disappeared.

MLB.com said, “Darvish plans to focus on treatment without throwing a ball for the next six weeks,” and added, “Whether or not to have surgery will be decided depending on his condition.”

Darubish already has a history of elbow surgery.

In March 2015, he underwent elbow ligament repair surgery (Tommy John surgery).

He returned to the big leagues in May 2016 after a long rehabilitation, and has since continued to play, regaining his former prowess.

If Darubish undergoes a second surgery later this year, he is expected to return for the 2025 season.

This is the worst-case scenario for his team, San Diego.

Last February, San Diego signed a long-term contract with Darubish for a total of $108 million (approximately KRW 143.5 billion) for a six-year contract period.

Darubish appeared in 24 games this year, the first year of his contract, and achieved a poor record of 8 wins, 10 losses, and an ERA of 4.56, and was shut down due to injury before the season was even over.

His bid to set the record for the most MLB wins from Asia has also been put on hold.

Yu Darubish has achieved 103 wins (85 losses) so far this season, and is expected to break Park Chan-ho's (retired) record of most wins (124 wins) by an Asian pitcher within the next two to three years.

However, his timing of challenging and breaking records is expected to be greatly affected by his future physical condition and whether or not he will undergo surgery.
