Jacob deGrom, pitcher for the Texas Rangers, has recently experienced a setback due to an injury. The injury occurred during a game against the Los Angeles Angels on April 20th, when deGrom felt a sharp pain in his right elbow. After being evaluated by the team’s medical staff, it was determined that deGrom had suffered a strain in his elbow.
The Rangers have placed deGrom on the 10-day disabled list and he is expected to miss at least two weeks of action. This is a huge blow to the Rangers, who were counting on deGrom to be a major contributor to their pitching staff this season.
DeGrom has been one of the most consistent pitchers in the league over the past few seasons. He has posted an ERA of 3.05 or lower in each of the last three seasons and has been selected to the All-Star team in each of those years. He also led the league in strikeouts in 2018 with 269.
The Rangers are hoping that deGrom’s injury is not too serious and that he will be able to return to the mound soon. In the meantime, the team will have to rely on other pitchers to fill the void left by deGrom’s absence.
It is always unfortunate when a player suffers an injury, but it is especially difficult when it happens to someone as talented as Jacob deGrom. The Rangers are hoping for a speedy recovery so that they can get their ace back on the mound as soon as possible.
