Kevin Acee reported earlier this afternoon that Yu Darvish will not be starting tonight’s series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to an illness. It isn’t yet known if his start will be pushed back or if San Diego will just skip his turn this time through the rotation. Reiss Knehr, who was called up on Sunday, is making the start.
