FACTS/FLUKES: Darvish, Me. Cabrera, S. Smith, Bedrosian, Orlando

It’s all about health for Darvish…The talent has always been there for Yu Darvish (RHP, TEX); the health, not so much. Darvish missed all of 2015 due to Tommy John surgery, and after returning in late May 2016, hit the DL again in June with shoulder issues. Darvish is back and pitching well for the AL West-leading Rangers.
