MINNEAPOLIS -- Yu Darvish showed up to the ballpark on Wednesday with his stiff neck feeling much better, and the Texas Rangers were able to breathe a sigh of relief knowing their Japanese ace wont have to join a long list of teammates on the disabled list. Darvish was scratched from his start on Tuesday night because of that neck discomfort, but Rangers manager Ron Washington said before a game against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday that the right-hander will start at Washington on Sunday. Darvish had an MRI on Tuesday that showed there was nothing to be concerned about and he was able to get through a workout at Target Field on Wednesday with no issues. Washington chose to just skip Darvishs turn in the rotation rather than bump him back a day or two to make sure that Darvish is as close to 100 per cent as possible before he returns to the mound. "One thing about Yu Darvish, if he wont be 100 per cent, hell let us know," Washington said. Darvish is 4-2 with a 2.35 ERA, the fourth-best in the league and has 71 strikeouts in 61 1-3 innings. Darvish didnt pitch for three weeks in spring training because of a stiff neck, a condition that pushed back his first start of this season to April 6. Washington said he wasnt sure what caused the neck pain this time, but he wasnt concerned about it becoming a nagging injury. "Yu Darvish is a different animal," Washington said. "He just doesnt want to have any reason why he doesnt feel well. So if he doesnt feel right ... wed much rather know hes OK. We dont want him worrying about it. So well hold him back until Sunday." Outfielder Daniel Robertson is also ready to go after a scary collision last week with Alex Rios and suffering an injury to the bone around his left eye. Robertson has been outfitted with a clear mask -- much like the ones NBA players wear when they break their noses -- that he will wear in the outfield to protect himself from further injury. He will have to wear the mask for four to six weeks and will use a modified batting helmet that protects the area when hes at the plate. "Its weird wearing it. Its frustrating wearing it," Robertson said. "But for the most part, there is no limitation." Jon Halapio Jersey .

Celtics Mikael Lustig is anticpating changes in personnel over the summer One of the issues that may need addressing over the short summer hiatus in the east end of Glasgow is Celtics unwieldy squad; they currently have 22 midfielders on their books - not an ideal recipe for squad harmony, according to Mikael Lustig.There is a lot of players in the same positions and thats maybe one of the weaknesses that we have, he said. Ronny Deila, pictured at the Lennoxtown training complex earlier this week We dont have 11 to 15 players who are always in the first team - there have been a lot of changes between games.We will see what the new manager wants to do with the club.

Stephen McManus is one Motherwel player out of contract this summer We need a squad next year of 20 and we dont have a generous benefactor sitting in the wings to make up some shortfall. Those days have gone here.We must work with what we have. The offers we have made and, if offers are improved, will be based on real money, on what we can afford without making the club go bust again.As to Sundays game, McGhee insists his side will take succour from their victory at Parkhead before Christmas. He said: We will not be going there with any fear because we know we can give them a game, and because there is nothing to lose: we have got fifth place and there is nothing else to be decided.
