"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish will miss the upcoming season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An MRI last week showed damage to Darvish's ulnar collateral ligament, and multiple doctors recommended he have the procedure.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Darvish exited a spring training game last week with tightness in his arm, but initially it was not believed to be serious.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He was also placed on the disabled list last August with elbow inflammation and was later shut down for the remainder of the season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Darvish, 28, has pitched three seasons in Major League Baseball after playing seven years in Japan.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The three-time All-Star has a career 3.27 ERA with 680 strikeouts and 218 walks over 545 1/3 innings.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Rangers open the season on April 6 against the Oakland Athletics.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;CORCORAN: AL bust candidates in 2015&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
