The Texas Rangers’ rotation is starting to take shape as they head into the All-Star break, and a key question, especially among the Japanese media, is if Yu Darvish would be available to pitch in the All-Star Game if selected to te American League team.
Here’s why:
Darvish is scheduled to pitch Wednesday at Cleveland and either Monday or Tuesday at Globe Life Park against Boston. July 6 is an off day, meaning that Darvish’s ensuing start could be July 9.
That’s a Sunday, the final day of the first half and two days before the All-Star Game.
