Yu Darvish

Yu Darvish allowed one run on two hits over seven innings in the Cubs' 2-1 win over the Dodgers on Saturday. He walked one and struck out ten in the no-decision.

Fantasy Impact

Vintage Darvish came out to play today, as this was by far his best start of the season. His only mistake was a solo home run to Alex Verdugo. It's hard to declare Darvish back after one good start, but he's definitely worth picking back up in leagues where he was dropped. His next start comes Friday vs. the Mets.

Yu Darvish allowed four runs on six hits over six innings in the Cubs' 6-5 loss to the Rockies on Monday. He walked none and struck out three in the no-decision.

It could have gone worse for Darvish in Coors Field, but this wasn't exactly a disaster outing either. On the bright side he didn't walk anyone, something he's only done three times all year. Darvish is still in high-risk streamer territory. His next start comes Saturday at the Dodgers.

Yu Darvish allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits over 5.1 innings in the Cubs' 9-8 win over the Rockies on Wednesday. He walked three and struck out five in the no-decision.

Fantasy Impact

Once again, Darvish struggled with control and efficiency. He has an ugly 4.88 ERA on the year and is allowed nearly six walks per nine innings. He cannot be trusted right now, especially with his next matchup, Monday in Coors Field against Colorado.

Yu Darvish allowed one run on three hits over six innings in the Cubs' 2-1 loss to the Cardinals on Friday. He walked three and struck out six in the no-decision.

Fantasy Impact

Just when it looked like all hope was gone, Darvish delivers a one-run outing and has us buying back in again. But should we? He only had a 58% strike rate in this game, and still walked three. On the bright side, he increase his cutter usage to 44% and notched seven of his 12 swinging strikes with the pitch. There's enough here to make him an interesting player to hang onto, but if another owner believes Darvish is back, then don't hesitate to ship him off for a more stable asset.

Yu Darvish allowed six runs on 12 hits over seven innings in the Cubs' 8-6 win over the Reds on Saturday. He walked two and struck out five in the no decision.

Fantasy Impact

It was a rough start for Darvish, who also served up three home runs in this game. He was forced pitch into the eighth inning thanks to the Cubs' taxed bullpen, so he really "took one for the team", as Darvish really didn't have it today. His next start comes Friday at St. Louis.
