Major League Baseball Padres pitcher Yu Darvish is not expected to rise to the mound in the All-Star Game on the 13th of this month due to hip and hip muscle tension.
Darvish started the game against the Nationals on the 8th, but complained of muscle tension around the left hip joint and got off the mound with 6 goals in 3 innings, the shortest this season.
Padres coach Jayce Tingler said on the 9th about the condition of pitcher Darvish, "I'm not going to be on the injured list at this stage. If I rest properly and relax my muscles, I think I can start from the beginning of the second half of the game."
On top of that, Darvish said about the All-Star game, which is selected in the National League starting pitcher category, "I will go to Denver where the game will be held, but it is unlikely to throw. I think it will be difficult."
Darvish has been selected as the fifth All-Star game in four years with a record of 7 wins, 3 losses and an ERA of 3.09, including serving as the opening pitcher for the Padres this season.
However, with the prospect of not going up to the mound, it is highly likely that the match against Shohei Ohtani of the Angels who will participate in the American League, which has attracted attention, will not be realized.
