The Rangers placed Yu Darvish on the disabled list.
The indications are that this isn’t serious, with T.R. Sullivan describing it as a “fatigue” issue, and the beats are saying on Twitter it is expected he will be able to be activated on July 22, the first day he would be eligible to return.
I’m all for giving hard throwers two week vacations so they are fresh for the stretch. With the All-Star break, he won’t miss that many starts.
I’d be willing to bet there is nothing wrong, just a measure to avoid the temptation to use him and further avoid him pitching in the All Star game.
