"This is what the Texas Rangers’ season has become: Yu Darvish makes another extraordinary start and even gets run support to boot, and it becomes second-tier news. This season is all about an injury situation that, to quote general manager Jon Daniels, is reaching “critical mass.”

* Jurickson Profar: Maybe gone, too.
* Daniel Robertson: Not looking so hot either."
It's going to be tough to recover from the loss of Fielder. At the same time, some young guys are going get a chance, such as Choice in the outfield and Moreland will go back to first base.
