San Diego Padres right-hander Yu Darvish was scratched from Tuesday’s start against the host Pittsburgh Pirates due to illness.

Right-hander Reiss Knehr will start in place of Darvish.

It wasn’t immediately known when Darvish will return to the mound.

Darvish, 36, is 100-81 with a 3.57 ERA in 256 career starts in 11 big league seasons with the Texas Rangers (2012-17), Los Angeles Dodgers (2017), Chicago Cubs (2018-20) and Padres (2021-23).

Knehr, 26, has a 12.27 ERA in three relief appearances with the Padres this season. He has started six times in 20 games over the past three seasons and is 1-2 with 5.24 ERA.
