Analysis: Darvish had last started the previous Friday night at Seattle, when he gave up three runs in the first inning of a 3-1 loss. The Rangers had planned in advance to skip the Japanese ace's scheduled start at the Chicago Cubs because of the cool weather - and the game that would have been his turn to pitch ended up being rained out anyway.

Analysis: Darvish left after 85 pitches in five innings Sunday night against the Los Angeles Angels. The blister is in the same area that he had issues with in his first start of the season five days earlier, when he came within one out of a perfect game at Houston.
Apr. 3 11:21 PM PT12:21 AM MT1:21 AM CT2:21 AM ET2:21 ET6:21 GMT14:21 CST11:21 PM MST1:21 AM EST1:51 AM VEN10:21 UAE1:21 AM CT-Darvish had a career-high 14 strikeouts while his bid for a perfect game ended with two outs in the ninth inning of a 7-0 win at Houston on Tuesday.
Analysis: Darvish was fantastic in his season debut. He was impressive as a rookie last season, going 16-9 with a 3.90 ERA and 221 strikeouts so this could be a sign that he's capable of elevating his performance.
Apr. 2 8:27 PM PT9:27 PM MT10:27 PM CT11:27 PM ET23:27 ET3:27 GMT11:27 CST8:27 PM MST10:27 PM EST10:57 PM VEN7:27 UAE (+1)10:27 PM CT-Darvish was one out from a perfect game when Marwin Gonzalez grounded a clean single through the pitcher's legs, and the Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros 7-0 on Tuesday night. The celebrated right-hander from Japan struck out 14 and appeared to be in complete control before Gonzalez smacked the first pitch up the middle. Darvish was unable to get his glove down in time and the ball skittered into center field well beyond a desperate dive by shortstop Elvis Andrus.
Analysis: Darvish became the first pitcher to lose a perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning since Armando Galarraga on June 2, 2010. Of course, the Detroit pitcher was denied only because of an infamous missed call at first base by umpire Jim Joyce, who later admitted he blew the play. The 6-foot-5 Darvish was an All-Star in his first season in Texas on the way to going 16-9 with 221 strikeouts.
