deGrom Forced Out Due to Triceps Fatigue | MLB News

Jacob deGrom’s season hit a major snag as he exited his start against the Angels after just two innings due to tightness in his right triceps — a sensation he’s never felt before. The Rangers’ ace, already battling hip and glute issues since the All-Star break, surrendered five hits and two runs in that inning before being replaced by Peyton Gray. With an MRI scheduled for Friday, manager Skip Schumaker voiced concern, especially given deGrom’s history of arm injuries and recent Tommy John surgery. This setback compounds the team’s pitching woes, as Nathan Eovaldi was also placed on the injured list earlier this week with elbow inflammation. Now without their top two starters, the Rangers’ rotation is under immense pressure as they try to stay competitive. DeGrom, on the verge of 2,000 career strikeouts and a two-time Cy Young winner, faces another potential setback in what’s already been a challenging season for both him and the team.
