Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said Dr. David Altchek has recommended Tommy John surgery for starting pitcher Yu Darvish, according to USA Today. Daniels said all signs lead to Darvish, who has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, undergoing surgery next week.
The Rangers will send Darvish's MRIs to Dr. James Andrews for a third opinion, but the first two opinions recommended surgery. If Darvish has surgery, he will miss the 2015 season.
