Odor displays power with three-homer night

Rougned Odor missed 11 days this spring because of a strained right oblique muscle. A prodigious power display on Good Friday is the latest evidence the muscle is no longer a problem. Odor hit three home runs, including two off of Padres starter Tyson Ross, in the Rangers 12-11 win Friday night at Surprise Stadium.

Darvish thrilled with progress, sticking to plan

Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish threw 35 pitches in a bullpen session Friday and was asked afterward if he could get a Major League hitter out right now. The Rangers are not going to let him do that just yet. He still has miles to cover before he completes his recovery from Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery. He has not yet faced real hitters.
