DeGrom Takes Break, Junis Rehabs | Texas Rangers News

Jacob deGrom, the two-time Cy Young winner, is sidelined with a lingering glute strain, prompting the Rangers to skip his start against the Astros and give him the All-Star break to recover. While he’s confident he could pitch through it, the team’s cautious approach prioritizes long-term health—deGrom will maintain his throwing routine but won’t return to the mound until the second half. Meanwhile, Jakob Junis, rehabbing from hip impingement, is progressing with catch work and could soon throw live bullpen sessions, potentially returning to the active roster or minor league rehab. Manager Skip Schumaker hints at a bullpen session for deGrom later this week in Atlanta to guide his next steps. The Rangers are clearly betting on player health to carry them through the rest of the season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
