CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Cubs right-hander Yu Darvish has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow to clean out loose
debris.Darvish was declared out for the season last month after an MRI revealed
a stress reaction in the elbow. He recently visited orthopedic surgeon James
Andrews for a second opinion and the surgery was recommended.The team announced
that the procedure

Keith Meister, who has a history with Darvish.The Cubs said Darvish would be
ready for spring training.“It sounds like it wasn’t highly invasive, but any
time you have surgery, it’s surgery,” manager Joe Maddon said.The 32-year-old
Darvish signed a six-year, $126 million contract as a free agent last offseason.
He went 1-3 with a 4.95 ERA in eight starts before the injury. Tampa Bay’s
shutout streak ended at 27 innings Tuesday night, tying the club record.But the
Rays‘ pitching staff continued its roll behind ace Blake Snell to win their
second game over the Kansas City Royals at Tropicana Field.Now

the third game of the series Wednesday night.Article continues below ...Snell,
winning his 15th game of the season to further become part of the Cy Young talk,
gave up a run in the fifth inning, but struck out 11 through six as he lowered
his ERA to 2.07.The Rays won their third straight to go to four games over .500,
matching their high-water mark for the season.“It’s amazing,” Willie Adames, who
had three hits, including a home run
Jason Kipnis Jersey , Tuesday, said of Snell (15-5). “You’ve been watching Snell the whole year — he’s been dealing this year. He’s been having a
great year — he has great talent.”And the Rays have allowed one run during the
mini winning streak.Told the 27 innings tied the club mark set in 2013, manager
Kevin Cash said, “It’s awesome. And we’re doing it with a bunch of young
pitchers. I have no idea when (it was done last) but the guys that we’re asking
to do it it’s been a huge team effort, pen effort, starter effort, opener
effort. It’s pretty rewarding to hear that.”Reminded the Rays went to the
playoffs in 2013, Cash said
Lonnie Chisenhall Jersey , “We better get going.”The Royals have scored one run in 25 innings since a six-run second inning at Chicago on Sunday.“We
struck out 16 times tonight,” said K.C. manager Ned Yost. “It’s not acceptable.
Just way, way too many punchouts.”Asked about Snell, he said, “He’s tough. He’s
an All-Star — not an All-Star by accident.”Kunis is 6-11 with a 4.76 ERA. He has
thrown three straight no-decisions — all Royals losses — but has allowed four
earned runs in 16 1/3 innings in the three starts.He is 2-0 with a 1.35 ERA in
two games (one start) against the Rays. Last year, he struck out 10 in 6 2/3
innings in defeating Tampa Bay.The current Rays are just 1-for-6 lifetime
against Kunis.The Rays lost Tommy Pham to a dislocated right ring finger in
Tuesday’s game. They announced x-rays were negative and said he is
day-to-day.For K.C., Jorge Bonifacio was a late scratch with lower back
stiffness. Rookie Ryan O’Hearn, a left-handed hitter
http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-larry-doby-jersey , went into the lineup against tough lefty Snell and hit his first home run off a
left-hander. That ended the Royals’ scoreless streak at 20 straight innings.Yost
didn’t have much of an update on Bonifacio.Before the game, Yost said signs are
pointing toward Danny Duffy coming off the 10-day disabled list to start the
series finale Thursday night. Duffy threw a bullpen session Monday and reported
no after-affects Tuesday.“I’m not going to put it in cement yet,” Yost said.
“We’ve still got a couple of days to go, but it looks that way.”Said Duffy, out
with left shoulder impingement that required an anti-inflammatory injection: “It
went well. (My shoulder) loosened up as it went. This time of year, everyone has
something going on (injury-wise), so I’ll give it a shot.“I feel like I’m at the
point where I’m good. I feel like if whatever percentage I have left in the tank
is good enough to dominate; I’ll give it a go.”
