Padres' Yu Darvish: Throws bullpen, feeling healthy

Darvish (elbow) threw a 27-pitch bullpen Friday and said he's feeling healthy, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Darvish was activated from the restricted list Friday after dealing with a personal matter back home, and he was shifted to the 15-day injured list once he rejoined the Padres in San Diego. He continued to throw while he was away from the team and was able to build up to 27 pitches Friday. Darvish also said Friday that he's feeling good and his placement on the IL was just "a matter of ramping up." San Diego has a hole to fill in its rotation after optioning Matt Waldron to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday, but Darvish won't be able to step into that role until September.
