Round Rock Express News Release
ROUND ROCK, Texas - Texas Rangers RHP Yu Darvish is scheduled to continue his Major League rehabilitation with the Round Rock Express, the Rangers Triple-A affiliate, in a start this Friday, May 6 at Dell Diamond. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. against the New Orleans Zephyrs (Miami Marlins affiliate). Darvish is expected to throw about 45 pitches or three innings.
This will be Darvish's second rehab start after throwing 32 pitches for the Rangers Double-A affiliate, Frisco RoughRiders, Sunday afternoon.
Darvish is coming back from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on March 17, 2015. He has not appeared in a regular season game since August 9, 2014. This is his fifth season with the Rangers after signing a six-year deal with the club on January 18, 2012. Darvish was named to the American League All-Star team in his first three seasons with the Rangers (2012-14), becoming the second A.L. pitcher to do so. In 2013, he recorded a total of 277 strikeouts, the most of any MLB pitcher that season.
Darvish had a seven-year career with the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters of the Japanese Pacific League in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) prior to joining the Rangers.
