Darvish looked fine in his first two seasons with the Friars, going 24-19 with a 3.61 ERA and 3.58 FIP over 60 starts in that span. However, he failed to sustain that form in 2023. Hopefully for Darvish, he will not need to go under the knife to recover fully from his injury.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They sit third in the NL West standings. The squad is still trying their best to catch up to the tight race to the top against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks, and San Francisco Giants.

This is because most of them think that postseason berth contention would be too steep of an uphill battle. A common sentiment would be that they just rest both players and hope for a good MLB draft pick.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
