The Texas Rangers are holding their breath on Jacob deGrom, like many feared they might have to after they lured him from the New York Mets this past offseason.
deGrom left the game with forearm tightness and would be further evaluated on Saturday.
The decision was reportedly described as"precautionary," but that won't stop alarm bells from ringing for many fans, as forearm tightness can often be the precursor to many serious issues, including the dreaded Tommy John surgery. Injury woes have sadly become a recurring feature of deGrom's career, though that didn't stop the Rangers from giving himDue to injuries and the shortened 2020 season, deGrom hasn't pitched more than 15 starts in a season since 2019. He hit the 60-day injured list last season with a stress reaction on his right scapula and in 2021 with, gulp, right forearm tightness. He hasn't played a full season without hitting the IL since 2017.
