Yu Darvish, the San Diego Padres star pitcher, begins the season on the restricted list due to elbow surgery, opening up roster space and budget for the team. Despite having three years left on his contract, Darvishs rights are retained without counting towards service time. Fans and analysts view this move as strategic, given the teams shortage of starting pitchers. Darvish, a five-time All-Star with a career ERA of 3.65, has been plagued by injuries, limiting his starts in recent seasons. He remains focused on rehabilitation and has not ruled out retirement if his elbow does not allow him to compete again.
