Here’s a quick update on several Rangers’ injury situations and Yu Darvish’s schedule:
u25aa Darvish is scheduled to pitch six innings in a minor league game on the backfields at 1 p.m. Friday afternoon against the Dodgers in Surprise. The right-hander worked out Thursday afternoon after returning from Dallas Wednesday night. His wife gave birth to their second son on Sunday.
u25aa Center fielder Carlos Gomez (sore left shoulder) said he feels better two days after jamming his shoulder sliding into third base in a game. The club sees no reason to rush him back before he’s 100 percent.
