Rangers' Yu Darvish: Named Opening Day starter

Darvish will be the Opening Day starter against Cleveland.

Analysis:

It will be Darvish's first Opening Day start and a well-deserved honor in his fifth season with the Rangers. The 30-year-old righty returned from Tommy John surgery last season to compile a 3.41 ERA and a 132:31 K:BB ratio over 17 starts and could be on track to return to his dominant pre-surgery form. Darvish will form a powerful rotation duo with teammate Cole Hamels, who will likely start the second game of the season.
