Yu Darvish and the Texas Rangers will get one more opinion before the ace pitcher likely agrees to season-ending elbow ligament-replacement surgery. General manager Jon Daniels said Wednesday that Dr. David Altchek, the New York Mets' medical director and an expert in Tommy John surgery, recommended the procedure after examining Darvish on Tuesday. The Rangers will have Dr. James Andrews review images of Darvish's elbow before they make a final decision later this week. After seeing Darvish on Tuesday, Altchek had the same recommendation as Rangers team physician Dr. Keith Meister, who initially examined the pitcher.
