As expected, Yu Darvish will have ligament reconstruction surgery on his right elbow according to the team. His surgery will be performed by Dr. James Andrews. (John Blake on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
This is a crushing blow for all parties. The Rangers will lose their ace again and fantasy owners who already drafted Darvish will need a replacement. Although he missed a portion of last season, there were definitely hopes of Darvish returning to form in 2015. Fantasy owners who were hoping to grab Darvish at a discount can now move on and find someone else.
