Cubs' Yu Darvish leaves start in 4th inning with right leg cramp

ATLANTA - The Chicago Cubs will have to wait at least five more days to find out if starter Yu Darvish is past his fifth-inning woes as the righty was pulled after four innings on Tuesday due to cramping in his right calf.

Darvish, 31, is off to a rocky start with his new team, but pitched well against the Atlanta Braves until the cramping issue popped up. After informing the training staff of the ailment, as well as manager Joe Maddon, he was taken out in favor of long man Mike Montgomery.
