2022 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Escapes with no-decision Friday
Darvish didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 11-6 win over Atlanta, giving up five runs on nine hits and a walk over 5.2 innings while striking out four.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander exited the game after 99 pitches (67 strikes) on the hook for his second loss of the year, but a rally by the Padres in the top of the seventh erased Darvish as the pitcher of record. The outing snapped a streak of four straight quality starts for the 35-year-old, and Darvish will carry a 4.62 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 32:11 K:BB through 39 innings into his next outing.

After signing a six-year, $126 million deal with the Cubs before the 2018 season, Darvish finally looked like a bona fide ace for Chicago in 2020. The righty struck out 93 batters in only 76 innings to go with eight wins, a 2.01 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. The eight wins led the National League during the condensed season, while his strikeout, ERA and WHIP all landed among the top five in the league. The ERA and WHIP were actually the lowest of Darvish's MLB career, albeit in a smaller sample, and his 11.0 K/9 was right in line with his 11.1 career mark. The 34-year-old ended up second in NL Cy Young voting after his stellar year. There have been injuries and inconsistent results, but fantasy managers can feel a bit more confident about him heading into 2021. A December deal to the Padres will give Darvish a more forgiving home park and a better offensive tailwind, if he can sustain this high level over 162 games.
