Darvish (illness) may not be ready to start Friday's game in Cincinnati as expected, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Darvish fell ill -- and was scratched -- ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Pirates, and he was still feeling unwell as of Wednesday. The Padres are tentatively targeting Friday for Darvish to slot back into the rotation, but it's unclear if he'll show enough improvement to be a realistic option for the series opener with the Reds. Expect the Padres to provide another update on Darvish following Thursday's series finale in Pittsburgh.
