Rangers' Jacob deGrom Will Miss Next Start with Glute, Hip Strain
The Rangers hope a four-day break and the All-Star break will let the two-time Cy Young winner avoid the injured list.
- On Friday, Manager Skip Schumaker announced Two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom will miss his next scheduled start for the Texas Rangers due to a glute and hip strain. The 38-year-old was pulled from his Tuesday outing after 80 pitches.
- Health remains a variable for deGrom, who has faced various elbow and hip ailments since 2010. Despite past surgeries, he reached the 100-inning mark in back-to-back seasons, demonstrating durability during his tenure with the club.
- Hoping to avoid the injured list, the team plans to skip Sunday's start against the Houston Astros and utilize the upcoming four-day All-Star break for recovery, Schumaker noted. The manager said, "I think the All-Star break is at the right time for him to recover."
- Should deGrom miss further time, the club could summon pitching prospect Jose Corniell, who has one big-league appearance, or rely on veteran lefty Jordan Montgomery. Texas is already missing Jack Leiter due to an ankle injury.
- With the trade deadline approaching, any extended absence forces the front office to weigh rotation depth against roster moves, especially since Texas has leaned on deGrom as its steadiest arm this season.
