Sim game to determine next step for Darvish

• Darvish, who has been sidelined since June 8 with discomfort in his right shoulder, is scheduled to throw 45 pitches in a simulated game on Wednesday. It will be broken down into three segments of 15.

Pitching coach Doug Brocail said the Rangers will wait and see how Darvish does in the session before determining the next step. There is a possibility he could pitch one game in the Minors on a rehab assignment. Darvish made three starts this season in his return from Tommy John surgery before being shut down with shoulder issues.

"We can't afford any more setbacks," Brocail said.
