Rangers' Darvish Scratched From Opening Day Start

ARLINGTON (CBSDFW.COM) -- Texas Rangers ace Yu Darvish has been scratched from his Opening Day start on March 31 due to a stiff neck.

Darvish will return to the Dallas area for further examination, according to MLB.com.

The team has not announced who will start on Opening Day at Globe Life Park against Cliff Lee and the Philadelphia Phillies.

Darvish was initially scratched from a minor league start last Friday after reportedly sleeping on it wrong.
