Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish has been sidelined with an arm injury since late May, as his team fights for first place in the National League Central. But the hard-throwing right hander may have used that time away from the game to go house hunting.

Darvish bought a 5,400 square-foot home on Evanston’s lake shore for $4.55 million, representing the second-highest home sale ever recorded in the suburb.

The home, on a third of an acre, went on the market last October for $4.2 million, but the buyer added an adjoining lot, according to Crain’s. The property includes 150 feet of lake frontage and Evanston’s only private deep-water dock.

The Chicago Tribune later revealed the buyer as Darvish, now in his first year of a six-season, $126 million contract with the Cubs.
