Darish went 3.1 innings in Sunday's Cactus League loss to the Athletics. He gave up two earned runs on four hits and a walk, while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish looked a little more comfortable than his first spring start with his new team, when he walked two and threw two wild pitches in just two innings. The results aren't particularly important at this point, however, as the Cubs just want to get their big offseason acquisition acclimated to his teammates and ready for the season. He should be one of the better fantasy pitching options available this year pitching with a strong lineup behind him.

Darvish said he's made offseason adjustments to his delivery after reports surfaced that he tipped his pitches during last season's World Series, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish was pounded by the Astros in two World Series starts, going just 1.2 innings in each with a combined 21.60 ERA. After the series, reports surfaced that Darvish tipped batters as to whether he was throwing a fastball or a slider/cutter by the way he regripped the ball in his glove. Cubs manager Joe Maddon said he felt the topic was a bit "overblown," but he did acknowledge that Darvish should be able to better conceal his pitches in an "organic way" this season. It's not entirely clear what that entails, and the organization likely won't divulge much more information for obvious reasons.

Making his Cubs debut, Darvish went two innings and picked up the win in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers. He didn't allow a hit, but did walk two and also uncorked two wild pitches, while striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

An eventful game for Darvish, who admitted to being nervous making his Chicago debut against his former team, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports. Though Darvish was a bit wild, the Cubs were surely just happy to see their big offseason acquisition take the mound after having this start bumped back from Thursday due to illness. Darvish will likely get a few more appearances in spring training before slotting in as the team's No. 3 starter to begin the season.

Darvish (illness) is scheduled to start Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish was expected to make his spring debut last Thursday, but was ultimately scratched from the outing after coming down ill. After a few days off to recover, Darvish looks like he'll be ready to pitch Tuesday, though it's expected that the Cubs will cap him at one or two innings in the outing. Darvish is in line to open the season as the Cubs' No. 3 starter, with Jon Lester garnering the Opening Day nod and Kyle Hendricks to follow in the rotation.

Darvish was scratched from Thursday's scheduled start due to illness. Instead, he will throw a two-inning bullpen session, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish is expected to take the hill for the first time this spring in the Cubs' Cactus League contest next versus the Dodgers next Tuesday, giving him four days to rest and recover from the illness. In his place, Alec Mills will toe the rubber against the Rockies on Thursday.

Darvish has joined the Cubs on a six-year deal Saturday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old ace will slot right into the top of the Cubs' rotation. Assuming he recovers from an apparent pitch-tipping issue which led to a pair of poor outings in the World Series, he should be a dominant pitcher in Chicago. While the move to Wrigley Field may add a few home runs to his total, joining a team as strong as the Cubs should give him the opportunity to earn a few extra wins.

Darvish will start Game 7 of the World Series against the Astros on Wednesday, Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish allowed four earned runs off six hits and one walk in 1.2 innings during Friday's Game 3 loss in Houston, but receives a shot at redemption from manager Dave Roberts ahead of the winner-take-all Game 7. He will once again be opposed by Lance McCullers, as both pitchers are coming in on normal rest. During Darvish's first two postseason starts, prior to Game 3 on Friday, the right-hander allowed just two earned runs while striking out 14 over 11.1 innings to help the Dodgers reach the World Series.

Darvish will start Game 3 of the World Series against the Astros on Friday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After throwing for a 3.44 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over nine starts with the Dodgers following a trade from the Rangers at the end of July, Darvish has been absolutely dialed in during the postseason. He's gone 2-0 over his two starts (11.1 innings) and logged a 14:1 K:BB while allowing just two runs. He'll look to carry his recent success into Friday's game against a high-powered Houston offense.

Darvish will not make another start before the end of the regular season, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish was originally expected to make his final start of the regular season Sunday, but the Dodgers will instead turn the game over to their bullpen. The 31-year-old, who owns a 3.44 ERA and 61:13 K:BB through nine starts with the Dodgers, will now use simulated outings to stay sharp for his next start, which will come in the playoffs. He's lined up to start Game 3 of the NLDS on Oct. 9.

Darvish (10-12) allowed just one run on two hits while striking out nine across seven innings in a dominant victory over the Padres on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander asserted his dominance against one of the league's worst offenses, tossing over 70 percent of his pitches for strikes and letting just three Padres traverse the base paths. Darvish now has a 3.44 ERA and four victories since joining the Dodgers. He lines up to make one more start during the regular season on the road against the Rockies.
