Yu Darvish may not return to Cubs before All-Star break
The Chicago Cubs haven’t gotten what they hoped to get from Yu Darvish to this point, and it sounds like it could be a while before he plays again.
Manager Joe Maddon said Sunday that there was a chance Darvish won’t pitch again for the Cubs until after the All-Star break.
Will Yu Darvish be back in #Cubs rotation before the All-Star break?
Joe Maddon: "I don't know. He's feeling better. He's going to throw again tomorrow and we're just going to keep building off of it."

Darvish is currently on the disabled list battling triceps tendinitis. While there’s no structural damage, it simply makes sense for the Cubs to take it easy and not rush him back in the hope that he will be more like the pitcher they envisioned he’d be once he returns.
