2023 Fantasy Outlook
Darvish struggled with back and hip injuries during the second half of 2021 but rebounded last season with a 3.10 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 197:37 K:BB across 194.2 innings. The sub-1.00 WHIP represents the lowest mark of his MLB career, and it's the most innings he pitched since he exceeded 200 back in 2013. The right-hander remained steady with his fastball velocity and averaged 95 mph, which is an encouraging sign with his 37th birthday coming up in August. There's always risk when banking on the continued success of pitchers this late in their career, but Darvish looked as strong as ever last year and should again be a key cog in San Diego's starting rotation in 2023.

Rough outing in New York
Darvish (3-4) took the loss Sunday, allowing seven runs on seven hits over 2.2 innings against the Yankees. He struck out two.
ANALYSIS
Darvish allowed five consecutive hits without recording an out in the third inning, eventually surrendering six runs in the frame. It's been an up-and-down year for Darvish -- his ERA is up to 5.74 through five starts in May after he posted a 3.60 mark in April. Overall, the 36-year-old Darvish sports a 4.61 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP and 59:17 K:BB through 10 starts (56.2 innings) this season. He'll look to right the ship in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week against the Cubs.

Darvish was in line for an All-Star berth with a 2.65 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in early July. He had to leave his last outing before the break with back and hip soreness, but not before yielding six runs in three innings. Darvish posted a 6.16 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over the second half, with 15 homers allowed in only 61.1 frames. Considering he had an August IL stint with back stiffness and missed his last start with hip discomfort, it's safe to say lingering soreness affected Darvish's second half performance. Even so, his 1.09 WHIP was the third lowest of his career, fueled by a 6.5 BB%, the second lowest of his career. Historically, Darvish allows a lot of homers, but his skills are otherwise at their zenith. With a full offseason to recover, Darvish should be 100% heading into spring training. The question is how long will he stay that way, considering he'll turn 36 years old in August.
