Texas Rangers spring training is charging toward actual Cactus League ballgames.
The Rangers will have only three full-squad workouts and an intrasquad scrimmage before moving from the back fields of the Surprise Recreation Campus to Surprise Stadium and playing the Kansas City Royals.
Martin Perez will start the spring lidlifter after Yu Darvish was bumped to Friday. Nothing to see here, like an injury or some such, but just a reshuffling of the pitching order by pitching coach Doug Brocail.
Maybe Darvish doesn’t like the chill in the air so far.
Brrrrrrrrrrr.
Thoughts? Here is The Surprise Five.
