Analysis: Darvish left his most recent start due to the back problem, though it was believed to be a very minor issue and he was not expected to miss his scheduled start Tuesday. However, the Dodgers clearly want to be careful with the star right-hander, though it appears he should only miss one turn in the rotation. He's slated to return next Sunday versus the Brewers.

Darvish struck out two, ending the game with a 3.83 ERA and 1.16 WHIP on the season. Analysis: The Dodgers said after the game that Darvish's removal was precautionary, so his availability for Tuesday's scheduled start in Pittsburgh doesn't appear to be in question at the moment.

The win was the first since June 12 for Darvish, who was 0-5 with a 5.81 ERA in his final eight starts for the Rangers.

July 31 2:15 PM PT3:15 PM MT4:15 PM CT5:15 PM ET17:15 ET21:15 GMT5:15 2:15 PM MST4:15 PM EST4:45 PM VEN1:15 UAE (+1)4:15 PM CT-The Rangers have traded Darvish to the Dodgers just prior to Monday's non-waiver deadline. Texas will receive a package of three minor league players, headlined by second baseman Willie Calhoun, in exchange for the four-time All-Star. Analysis: Darvish should take over as the Dodgers' ace until Clayton Kershaw returns from his back injury and bolster the club's chances of its first World Series title since 1988. The impending free agent's first full season back from elbow surgery has been up and down, as his 6-9 record and 4.01 ERA indicates, but he's still averaging 9.72 strikeouts per nine innings. Darvish was hammered in his last start, however, permitting 10 runs in 3 2/3 innings against NL member Miami.
July 27 8:11 AM PT9:11 AM MT10:11 AM CT11:11 AM ET11:11 ET15:11 GMT23:11 8:11 AM MST10:11 AM EST10:41 AM VEN19:11 UAE10:11 AM CT-Yu Darvish fell to 6-9, allowing 10 runs on nine hits and two walks in 3.2 innings, as the Texas Rangers lost to the Miami Marlins 22-10 on Wednesday. Darvish struck out five, ending the game with a 4.01 ERA and 1.17 WHIP on the season. Analysis: If this was Darvish's last start with the Rangers, what a way to go.

Darvish struck out six, ending the game with a 3.45 ERA and 1.14 WHIP on the season. Analysis: Another hard-luck result for Darvish, who's now gone without a win in six consecutive outings despite notching four quality starts during that stretch. The Rangers have totaled five runs with him on the mound during the drought. Despite his recent lack of victories, the standout right-hander remains an excellent source of strikeouts and an overall high-caliber fantasy option.

Still, batters are hitting just .153 off him in the first inning this season.
