Watching a healthy Yu Darvish take the mound this season has been, aside from performance, relieving, for the Chicago Cubs so far. It’s been a long road back for the Japanese-born hurler. We’ve recently seen more and more of the person he is off the field, which has made it hard to not pull for the guy.
Just a month into the 2019 campaign, Darvish is tied for the most starts in the league with six, but none of those outings have come without stress. With a record of 2-3 and a league-leading 22 walks to this point, he needs to spend time in the bullpen to hone in on his control.
