Today: The Rangers have officially activated deGrom to make his first start of the 2024 season. In a pair of corresponding moves, the team optioned right-hander to Triple-A and transferred to the 60-day IL. Sept. 10: makes his season debut on Friday. The Rangers announced that the two-time Cy Young winner will start that evenings game in Seattle. It will be his first major league appearance since April 2023. deGrom underwent Tommy John surgery last June. While deGroms return comes too late to give Texas any hope of a playoff push, its part of what should be a very exciting series. The Rangers top prospect for his MLB debut Trae Young Jersey in Thursdays opener. deGrom goes the following night. Manager Bruce Bochy told the beat this evening that will be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start on Saturday ( via Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News). Texas will need to create space on the 40-man roster for both Rocker and deGrom. deGrom has gotten through four rehab starts within the past few weeks. He has mowed down minor league hitters, striking out 15 while allowing only five baserunners over 10 2/3 innings. deGrom to sed four scorele s innings in just 49 pitches with Double-A Frisco on Saturday. wrote over the weekend that the Rangers had envisioned deGrom throwing somewhere around 60 pitches in that outing, though they ultimately elected to cap him at four innings when he pitched so efficiently. That could point to a potential 65-75 pitch count during this weeks start. The Rangers should get three or four starts from deGrom before the end of the season. Theyre not going to be of much significance in the standings (beyond the indirect effect of playing the Mariners, a fringe contender, at least once). Getting deGrom back for a few starts should at least give the pitcher and the front office some comfort going into the offseason. deGrom had battled a handful of arm i sues late in his Mets tenure. He only managed six starts and 30 1/3 innings with Texas before suffering the significant elbow injury. Few players are more important to the Rangers hope of a return to contention in 2025. deGrom may still be the best pitcher on the planet when healthy. He was utterly dominant for the Mets when he was able to pitch. Hed carried that form over in his first month in a Texas uniform, working to a 2.67 earned run average while striking out almost 40% of batters faced. deGrom is going into the third season of a five-year, $185MM free agent deal. Hell make $40MM next season, followed by succe sive salaries of $38MM and $36MM through 2027. The Tommy John surgery triggered a conditional team option in his deal for 2028. Thats valued at $20MM, though deGrom could push it to $30MM if he finishes in the top five in Cy Young balloting in any of the next three years. Scherzer, meanwhile, has been out since the start of August because of a shoulder i sue. Hed also mi sed most of the seasons first half rehabbing offseason back surgery and battling a nerve problem in his throwing hand. Scherzer has been limited to eight starts this season, turning in a 3.89 ERA acro s 39 1/3 innings. The future Hall of Famer will be a free agent next offseason. Scherzer has already declared he intends to ; hell be one of the top risk/reward plays in the starting pitching cla s. Danilo Gallinari Jersey |
