Newcastle have suffered a major blow ahead of the new Aviva Premiership season with Tonga captain Nili Latu being ruled out, probably until December.Back-row forward Latu, who skippered Tonga at last years World Cup, has undergone knee surgery, the Falcons announced.Latu, 34, was hurt during Tongas Pacific Nations Cup campaign last month.Nili suffered knee ligament damage playing in Tongas last Pacific Nations Cup game, and was operated on yesterday, Newcastle rugby director Dean Richards told the clubs official website.His likely return to playing is five months from now.Obviously it is a disappointing blow to lose a player of Nilis quality for that length of time, but at the same time it is an opportunity for other guys.We have a lot of players coming through - Harrison Orr has joined us and made a very good first impression -- but with David Tameilau not yet here from America, there is no denying it has left us a little bit short in the back-row.Newcastle begin their Premiership campaign at home against Sale Sharks on Sept. 2.

With the best record in the American League at stake, the Texas Rangers send Yu Darvish to the mound Friday night to start a three-game home series against Tampa Bay to close out the regular season.The AL West champion Rangers (94-65) are sitting in good shape to lock down home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Boston (92-67) and Cleveland (91-67) are still in the mix, but Texas can clinch with one win against the Rays (66-93) at Globe Life Park.Darvish (6-5, 3.53 ERA) is making his final start before the AL Division Series. The 30-year-old right-hander is slotted to pitch the second game of the playoffs behind Cole Hamels.Im very much looking forward to it, Darvish said. I pitched in one postseason game and that was it. Its going to be on the bigger stage, and Im looking forward to pitching in it.Darvish appears to be hitting his stride at the right time. Hes struck out 30.8 percent of batters faced (101 of 328) since the All-Star break, the second-highest mark in AL and fourth in the majors.He made his only postseason start in the 2012 AL Wild Card game against Baltimore, allowing two earned runs in 6 2/3 innings.I feel like Im a better pitcher now, mentally and mechanically, Darvish said.

The likely favorites are Colby Lewis and Martin Perez, who will close out the regular season against Tampa Bay.We look at all different scenarios, weigh the pros and cons, Banister said. We just feel that four guys, given where we are at and the pitchers that we have, I think thats the best scenario for us.The Rays send Matt Andriese (8-7, 4.34) to the hill in the series opener. The right-hander has allowed two or fewer runs in his last three starts after struggling throughout August and the first half of September.Hes done a really nice job, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. When he was put back in the rotation he probably wasnt as efficient, wasnt consistent with his pitches, but over the last couple of starts hes really pitched ... well. Both the changeup and the curveball have played huge. Hes got a better feel for his off-speed now.Its been a long season for Tampa Bay, but Cash is looking forward to the environment this weekend.We expect to see some big crowds there, which will be good, he said. Its always fun to play in front of those crowds, and they are playing for something because that home-field advantage means a ton. ' ' '
