SEATTLE -- Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish is still scheduled to start Monday against the Athletics although there are still concerns about his shoulder and neck.
"As we sit right now, yes," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said Saturday. "We haven't gotten any reports to the contrary."
Darvish left his last start on Wednesday after five innings because of some tightness in the right shoulder/neck area. He was able to throw 21 pitches in a bullpen session on Friday without any problems. Wednesday marked his third start after missing 14 months while recovering from Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery.
