CHICAGO -- One day after Yu Darvish threw his latest bullpen session, looking ahead to returning to the mound with a rehab start April 26, the Texas Rangers announced his first rehab start will be pushed back another five days to May 1.
After Thursday's outing, Darvish expressed dissatisfaction with the 47-pitch session, noting that not all of his pitches were where he wanted them to be, especially his curveball and his changeup. That dissatisfaction led to the decision to push his first live-game experience back to his next scheduled appearance the following Sunday.
