Around the Horn: Darvish to Return Saturday, TV Falls to Record Level

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish is expected to be activated from the 15-day disabled list to start the second game of the team's weekend series at the Chicago Cubs.

Darvish made just three starts this season, going 2-0 with a 2.87 ERA before going on the disabled list June 9 with shoulder discomfort. He missed all of last season following Tommy John surgery.
