Rangers' Jacob deGrom Leaves Start Early with Triceps Fatigue
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom exited Thursday's start after two innings due to triceps fatigue.
The Texas Rangers faced a potential setback after starting pitcher Jacob deGrom left his Thursday start early due to right triceps fatigue. DeGrom pitched two innings, throwing 53 pitches before exiting, as the team lost 7-0 to the Los Angeles Angels. He remained optimistic about returning to the mound in his next start. Following the game, deGrom noted the discomfort he experienced in the second inning, which he hadn't previously encountered.
The 38-year-old is set to receive imaging on Friday to assess the severity of the issue. Rangers manager Skip Schumaker decided against risking further harm to deGrom, opting to monitor the situation before making a decision. DeGrom's ERA rose to 3.95 in 120.2 innings after a previous early exit. Losing deGrom would be a significant blow for the Rangers, who recently placed veteran starter Nathan Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation.
Cody Bradford recently returned from elbow surgery, while Jack Leiter began a rehab assignment on Thursday.
