Breaking News: Padres Confirm the Return of Two Top Experienced Stars from Terrible Injury

The San Diego Padres have gotten a huge lift with the returns of Yu Darvish and Fernando Tatis Jr. With the squad rising the standings and their playoff dreams on the line, their additions could be critical. Tatis Jr. has been out since June 21 owing to a stress response in his right thigh. His absence has created a noticeable void in the lineup, since he was playing at an MVP-caliber level prior to the injury.

In 308 at-bats this season, he has a.279 batting average, 14 home runs, and 36 RBI. Fortunately, he is scheduled to begin a rehabilitation assignment with the Padres’ minor-league affiliates this week. If all goes well, he might return to the team in early September.

Yu Darvish, a pitcher, has been out of action since May 29 due to elbow inflammation. The Padres have struggled with their pitching rotation this season, particularly with Joe Musgrove’s extended absence. Darvish was placed on the restricted list in July for personal reasons, but has since returned to the team.

While he is still on the 15-day disabled list, he is already engaging in bullpen sessions and may begin a rehab assignment shortly. If his recuperation goes smoothly, he might be back in the rotation before the playoffs.
