by the Texas Rangers and will miss the All-Star Game next week. Darvish has a
mild strain in his upper back. The move was announced Wednesday and is
retroactive to July 6. Darvish was scheduled to pitch against Baltimore on
Thursday, but has been scratched. Hes 8-4 overall, but has won only once in his
last nine starts. Darvish leads the majors with 157 strikeouts. He has a 3.02
ERA. Rangers assistant general manager Thad Levine says, "At this stage, its not
something we are really worried about." He says the injury "was a little more
fatigue than anything." In a statement, Darvish said, "I dont think its a big
issue, but just as a precaution, Id rather skip a start than push it through."
Darvish will fly back to Dallas on Thursday for further evaluation.

Pence singled in the winning run with no outs in the ninth inning to give the
Giants a 7-6 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. (STATS) -- Tennessee
State is off to the programs best start in four years, but if that success is to
continue it must come with a new -- yet familiar -- face under center.With
sophomore starter OShay Ackerman-Carter done for the season because of a knee
injury, senior Ronald Butler takes over the reigns of the offense Saturday as
the Tigers (3-0) open Ohio Valley Conference play against visiting UT
Martin.Ackerman-Carter threw for 598 yards with five touchdowns and two
interceptions before he was injured in the first half of a 31-24 victory at
Bethune-Cookman on Sept. 17. The Tigers conveniently had their bye last week so
were able to put plenty of time into preparing for life with a new
signal-caller.Thats unfortunate, coach Rod Reed said. But we have a very capable
guy in Ronald Butler running the show.The Tigers last opened with four straight
wins while going 7-0 in 2012, but they only won once the rest of the way and
failed to make the playoffs. Reed, though, seems to believe the good times will
keep coming with Butler leading the way.The Tallahassee, Fla., native has played
in 31 games at Tennessee State with 13 starts, including eight in 2013 when he
was named all-OVC Second Team as a freshman. Butler, who went 7 of 13 for 72
yards with two touchdowns and an interception after Ackerman-Carter was injured,
has thrown for more than 2,700 yards with 24 TDs and 15 INTs for his career.Our
playbook wont change, Reed said. Ronald has been running this offense for three
years. ... Were just going to keep plugging along.Butler also knows helll have
help from a stellar offensive line in front of him.dddddddddddd That unit has
allowed just one sack and has paved the way for Tigers backs to average 4.8
yards per carry.Hopefully we can continue that trend, Reed said. Weve got to be
consistent up front. Hopefully we can keep Butlers uniform clean and run the
ball.The former might be tough against UTM (2-2, 1-0), which has recorded five
sacks in the last two games. Its also picked off six passes in 2016. Butler is
13 of 25 for 189 yards and a TD in three games against the Skyhawks, though most
of that action came as a freshman.This is the biggest challenge weve faced to
date, Reed said.UT Martin will try for a third straight victory in the series
and overall. The Skyhawks are tied for seventh in the FCS in scoring (42.8
points per game) and junior quarterback Troy Cook ranks among the national
leaders with nine TD passes.Rod and I have been competing against each other for
a lot of years, UT Martin coach Jason Simpson said. Theres been some good
battles.This contest is part of the annual Sgt. York Trophy competition, an
in-season series contested among the leagues four Tennessee-based schools. This
and the Commander in Chiefs -- featuring the nations services academies -- are
the only traveling trophies in collegiate sports to involve more than two teams.
UT Martin won last seasons title with victories over Tennessee State, Tennessee
Tech and Austin Peay. ' ' '
