San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish suffered lower back tightness during his Thursday night start against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the team announced.
Darvish was lifted in the third after going 2.2 innings with six hits, five earned runs, one walk and four strikeouts.
The Padres previously placed the right-hander on the 10-day injured list on July 11 with left hip inflammation, a move that was retroactive to July 9. Prior to the IL designation, manager Jayce Tingler said Darvish had been dealing with minor hip and back trouble that put his status for the All-Star Game in jeopardy.
