Thursday night’s intrasquad scrimmage almost went full-on 2020 as Yu Darvish got a visit from the trainer and pitching coach Tommy Hottovy for what appeared to be a finger issue. The scare was brief, however, and Darvish continued through his scheduled three innings and one extra batter in a successful effort.

Mark Gonzales clarified that the pop-out was actually to third for the benefit of those scoring at home.
