Tom Petty was right, the waiting really is the hardest part. Especially when that waiting stretches out even longer than initially expected, which is what happens when the doctor reportedly doesn’t review the MRI results. Not that a few hours, or even a full day, would really matter when it comes to Yu Darvish’s availability and immediate recovery.
Darvish went to the DL this past Saturday with triceps soreness, which was immediate cause for alarm throughout Cubdom. And though Darvish supposedly told someone that the pain was in a different location from what he’d experienced prior to Tommy John surgery, Joe Maddon’s description of the issue didn’t inspire a great deal of hope.
