Yu Darvish is mulling over retirement, but he has yet to make a final decision. This refutes an initial report that indicated Darvish was retiring. A final decision will be made in the coming weeks as he continues to rehab his elbow. (Source: Alden Gonzalez on X)
Fantasy Impact: Darvish, 39, has enjoyed a solid 13-year career in the major leagues while pitching for the Rangers, Dodgers, Cubs, and Padres. The five-time All-Star has earned Cy Young votes four times, including two runner-up finishes in 2013 and 2020. However, injuries have plagued him over the past few seasons and his latest rehab has him thinking about the possibility of retiring. In his 13 big league seasons, Darvish has gone 115-93 with a 3.65 ERA and 2,075 strikeouts in 1,778 innings. Coupled with his seven seasons in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball, Darvish has won 209 games and struck out 3,369 batters in 20 professional seasons.
