Darvish feels better, plans to throw bullpen
Yu Darvish - S - Texas Rangers
March 19, 2013 - 7:55 PM ET

Yu Darvish (neck) told reporters on Tuesday that he already feels much better.

Darvish was scratched from a scheduled Cactus League start on Monday because of a stiff neck, but he's scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday and should be fine for the opening of the regular season. He's been electric this spring, with a 1.04 ERA and 10/2 K/BB ratio in 8 2/3 innings. The right-hander's ability to rack up strikeouts in bunches will come with a hefty price tag on fantasy draft day.
