Rangers starting pitcher Yu Darvish threw one inning during an intrasquad game Monday, which was his first game-like action since his 2013 season ended with him dealing with back pain. Darvish threw 13 pitches (seven strikes).
"I felt no pain and no discomfort, so I feel very good about it," Darvish said through an interpreter, per ESPN. "It's been a while since I faced a hitter in a game situation, so I felt a little bit awkward, but I think I'll get used to it little by little."
