Today: King Felix makes debut, Darvish visits doctor


A look at the highlights of what's happening all around spring training in Florida and Arizona today:

***

KING FELIX

Mariners star Felix Hernandez makes his spring debut, facing the Rockies in Scottsdale, Arizona. He's working toward his start on opening day.

***

THE VERDICT

Rangers ace Yu Darvish meets with Dr. David Altchek in New York for a second opinion on his ailing right elbow. An initial MRI showed damage, and Darvish might need season-ending Tommy John surgery.

***

FEELING BETTER

Boston right fielder Shane Victorino is expected to play against Tampa Bay in Fort Myers, Florida. He got an additional day off Monday to rest his sore legs.

***

ANY DAY NOW

The Brewers still are awaiting the arrival of closer Francisco Rodriguez. He's at home in Venezuela, pending the approval of a work visa. The team is hoping he'll be in camp by the end of the week.

GETTIN' CLOSER

Angels pitcher Garrett Richards will throw a batting practice session at camp. He's coming back from a season-ending knee operation and won't be ready by opening day.
