Yu Darvish improved to 7-2 in Wednesday's complete game shutout against the Marlins.
Surprisingly enough, it was the first complete game (and, obviously, shutout) of Darvish's career. The right-hander limited the Fish to six hits and three walks while striking out 10. Just another Cy Young-caliber season for Darvish, who has a 2.11 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 101/27 K/BB ratio in 85 1/3 innings. He'll face the Athletics on the road next.

Darvish racked up eight strikeouts on the evening while walking three. He now sits at 6-2 on the season with a terrific 2.36 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 91/24 K/BB ratio over his first 76 1/3 innings. He'll look to continue that dominance when he does battle against the Marlins at home on Wednesday.

Yu Darvish was locked in on Sunday, as he pitched eight shutout innings while giving up just five hits and two walks and striking out 12 batters in the Rangers' 2-0 win over Washington.
Darvish, who was engaged in a pitcher's duel with the Nationals' Tanner Roark, overpowered Washington's lineup and got just enough run support to pick up his fifth win (5-2) of the year. Darvish lowered his ERA to 2.08 on the year and now owns a 83/21 K/BB ratio.

Yu Darvish (neck) is scheduled to start on Sunday.
Darvish told reporters Wednesday that he was on track to pitch Saturday, but the Rangers will get him one additional day of rest. He had to be scratched from his previous turn through the Texas rotation because of neck stiffness. An MRI that was taken came up clean. His outing Sunday will be in Washington, D.C. against the Nationals.

Yu Darvish (neck) said through an interpreter Wednesday that he's on track to start Saturday.
Darvish had to be scratched from his turn in the Rangers' rotation on Tuesday due to stiffness in his neck, but he underwent an MRI and the results were negative. His outing Saturday would be in Washington, D.C. against the host Nationals. Darvish will be monitored closely over the next few days as he prepares to make that start.

The Rangers said that MRI results on Yu Darvish's neck were "unremarkable."
In other words, his neck is structurally sound. Darvish was scratched from Tuesday's outing due to neck stiffness and it's not clear when he'll be ready to start again. The right-hander got a late start this year due to neck issues and has battled problems with his neck since last season. Darvish seems likely to avoid the DL, but we'll just have to see how he recovers over the next few days.

Yu Darvish has been scratched from Tuesday's start against the Twins due to neck stiffness.
Darvish reported symptoms when he woke up Tuesday morning and will undergo a precautionary MRI. It's believed to be similar in nature to the neck issue he dealt with during spring training. The Rangers have yet to name a replacement to start in his place Tuesday, but Scott Baker is the most likely option.

Yu Darvish limited the Tigers to two runs in seven innings Thursday to win for the fourth time this season.
Darvish was wild early on -- he started the bottom of the first by walking Ian Kinsler on four pitches -- but he quickly settled down and turned in a strong performance. He's allowed a total of four runs over 23 2/3 innings in his last three starts. Next up for him is a start in Minnesota.

Yu Darvish received no run support and took the loss despite holding the Blue Jays to two runs over eight innings on Friday.
Darvish shut the Blue Jays out through seven innings, but the Jays led off the eighth inning with a pair of bunt singles. Melky Cabrera brought them home with a double. Other than that, Darvish was sharp as usual, allowing five hits and walking three overall while striking out 11. Darvish, now with a 2.32 ERA, will face the Tigers on the road in his next start.
